Overview Chapter: In Q3, the global smartphone smart panel shipments were about 430 Mil. (Open Cell Base), a Y-o-Y decrease of about 9.8%.

Looking back at the 22Q1-22Q3, three factors led to weak demand for smartphone panels. First, global consumer electronics products continue to be affected by geopolitics, global inflation, the constant Covid-19 pandemic, and declining consumption power, which results in weak demand. Second, the development of smartphones has entered a mature stage, and consumers have insufficient motivation to change phones. Third, the set inventory of some end brands is at a relatively high level, and each end brand strictly controls the parts inventory.

In Q3, the global smartphone end market did not see a significant improvement as a whole, and the sales of the smartphone industry generally showed a sluggish trend. Affected by this, the smartphone panel In Q3 generally showed " weak sales during the peak season,” and the overall shipments showed a Y-o-Y downward trend. According to Sigmaintell’s data, global smartphone panel shipments In 22Q3 will be about 430 Mil. (Open Cell Base), a Y-o-Y decrease of about 9.8%.

Structure Chapter: In Q3, panel shipments of different technologies remained divided.

From the perspective of product structure, shipments of panels of different technologies remained divided in Q3, with a noticeable trend of "big at both ends and small in the middle.”

In terms of LCD, in the context of continued sluggish demand in the end market, a-Si LCD panels are still the first choice under the cost optimization strategy of various brands. The demand is stable, with about 400 Mil. shipped in 22H1. Among them, about 200 Mil. panels shipped in Q3, a Y-o-Y increase of about 2.3%, compared with 210 Mil. in Q2, a slight Q-o-Q decrease. However, the demand for LTPS LCD in Q3 was still weak. Global shipments of LTPS-LCD smartphone panels were about 90 Mil., a Y-o-Y decrease of about 19.2%. Therefore, the utilization rate of the production lines of most makers on the supply side has declined. In addition to shifting part of their capacity to automotive and medium-sized applications, they will develop HD+ products and look for orders from the unbranded market in Southern China.

In terms of AMOLED, the demand for rigid OLEDs has been greatly reduced due to the continuous decline in orders from brands. In Q3, global AMOLED shipments were about 140 Mil., a Y-o-Y decrease of about 17.6%. Driven by the brand's new high-end flagship models, especially the demand for Apple's iPhone 14 series, following the active market strategies of mainland China’s flexible OLED panel makers, the demand for flexible OLED smartphone panels has grown significantly. In Q3, panel shipments were about 100 Mil., a Y-o-Y increase of about 7.5%.

Competition Chapter: Industry competition intensifies. The trend of "discrete" industry concentration continues.

Looking at the shipments of global smartphone panel makers in Q3, BOE, SDC, and Tianma is still in the TOP3 makers. But with the further release of new production line capacity, the “discrete” industry concentration trend continues. According to Sigmaintell’s data, In 22Q3, the total shipments of TOP3 makers accounted for about 51.0% market share, a Y-o-Y decrease of about 7.6 %. Facing the persistently sluggish end demand, the competition among panel makers has intensified, which brings pressure on the operation of small-generation lines.

BOE's smartphone panel shipments in Q3 were about 100 Mil.. BOE continues to lead the world with a 23.4% shipment share. However, in the environment of continuous decline in end demand and intensified competition. As the leader in the a-Si smartphone panel market, its shipments are still greatly affected, with about 64 Mil. shipments showing a downward trend Y-o-Y. In terms of OLED, with the delivery of iPhone 14 orders and the release of Huawei's Mate50 series models, its shipments of flexible OLED smartphone panels In Q3 were about 18 Mil., a Y-o-Y increase of about 15.1%, ranking No. 2 in the world with a market share of 13.1% and ranking No. 1 in mainland China.

SDC’s smartphone panel shipments in Q3 were about 86 Mil., ranking second in the world. Under the general environment of continuous sluggish end demand, facing fierce competition from FOLED panel makers in mainland China, the A2 production line is under great operating pressure, and the demand for ROLED has dropped sharply. However, its high-value-added FOLED still ensures its technological leadership. Driven by Apple’s new iPhone 14 series In Q3, shipments of FOLED smartphone panels were about 65 Mil., a Y-o-Y increase of about 12.1%, which contributed significantly to its revenue. Samsung recorded its highest single-quarter profit due to strong demand for Apple's iPhone panels. According to Samsung Electronics' 22Q3 financial report, Samsung Display's sales in Q3 were 9.39 trillion won (47.89 billion yuan), and its operating profit was 1.98 trillion won (10.1 billion yuan).

OLED chapter: In Q3, about 41.91 Mil. OLED panels were shipped in mainland China, with a market share of about 30.5%, a Y-o-Y increase of about 9.2%.

Affected by the continued downturn in the global smartphone end market, global AMOLED shipments in Q3 were about 140 Mil., a Y-o-Y decrease of about 17.6%. Among them, for ROLED panels, due to the continuous downward of end brand demand,ROLED shipments were only about 33.75 Mil., a Y-o-Y decrease of about 52.0%. As for FOLED panels, driven by Apple's iPhone 14 series and the new flagship models of top brands, the demand for panels has improved. In Q3, the penetration of mid-range models has resulted in global FOLED shipments of about 100 Mil., a Y-o-Y increase of about 7.5%.

Looking at OLED shipments by region. In Korea, SDC still ranked first with a 62.6% market share of OLED smartphone panels in Q3. However, LGD's OLED panel customers are single. Driven by the launch of Apple's new mobile phone, it shipped about 9.5 Mil. in Q3. In mainland China, with the release of the capacity of domestic OLED panel makers and the improvement of end brands' recognition of domestic OLED panel makers, the market share of domestic OLED panel makers has steadily increased. In 22Q3, panel makers in mainland China shipped about 41.91 million OLED panels, accounting for about 30.5% of the global market, a Y-o-Y increase of about 9.2 %.

In terms of OLED panel makers in mainland China, BOE shipped about 18 million FOLED smartphone panels, ranking second in the global OLED smartphone panel market with a market share of 13.1%, driving the growth of the overall domestic market share. Visionox continues to strengthen cooperation with brand customers and give full play to its technological innovation advantages. For example, it recently announced that its HLEMS high-performance light extraction technology had entered the mass production stage, further increasing product competitiveness. In Q3, Visionox shipped about 8.4 million OLED smartphone panels, a Y-o-Y increase of 32.7%, ranking fourth in the world and second in China, maintaining a steady growth momentum.

Outlook Chapter: Under the downward cycle, "cost reduction and efficiency increase" and "continuous innovation" are the keys.

Under the influence of unfavorable factors such as the constant Covid-19 pandemic, continued geopolitical tensions, and no reversed superinflation, the global smartphone market will continue to be depressed in 2022, and panel demand will continue to decline. Next year, the smartphone panel market will still lack apparent driving forces and will be difficult to warm up.

In the overall dynamic environment, global consumer electronics demand is downward. Firstly, low cost has become the core demand of the low-end smartphone market. With the intensification of supply chain competition, the acceleration of the introduction of localized materials, the strengthened price negotiation of upstream materials, and the improved efficiency of panel makers, the "cost reduction and efficiency increase" strategy of improving production costs has become the primary strategy for panel makers to maintain stable operations. Secondly, in the sluggish environment, it is both a challenge and an opportunity for end brands. Top brands are increasing the layout of high-end products and enhancing their brand image. Therefore, the new display technology products such as LTPO, folding, and ultra-narrow bezel are also accelerating their penetration into the mainstream market. The innovation of these new technologies is also the key for panel makers to maintain their core competitiveness.
