China's display parts and components industry remains in an upturn. Suppliers expect sales and exports to swell at least 30 percent by year-end.

Buoyed by the projection, makers are raising production levels, especially of categories growing in popularity because of the trend for energy conservation and environmental protection. These include LEDs, LED panels and modules, TFT-LCD modules and LCD panels, which represent the replacement technologies in the lighting, display and backlighting sectors.

This report covers the major products of China's display parts and components industry, namely LCD panels, modules and backlights, LEDs, LED chips, strips, panels and modules, and EL displays.

For each category, details about the different types offered, their common features and price determinants are provided. The Industry Overview elaborates on issues affecting production and exports. It also identifies the common strategies manufacturers are employing to boost sales and enhance overall competitiveness.

To reflect the industry structure, the majority of the suppliers featured in this report are local and privately owned enterprises. Publicly listed/SOE, Hong Kong- and Taiwan-invested businesses are also covered.

Key Findings of the Report

1. Prices are expected to increase with rising material and labor costs. The adjustment, however, will be limited to 10 percent due to intensifying competition. For the same reason, a number of makers are lowering their quotes.

2. The majority of respondents are confident of robust export sales despite rising outlay. They are counting on the “green” trend to continue fueling demand, especially from North America and Europe. These will remain key overseas destinations.

3. Enterprises are also exploring opportunities in the local sector, particularly government-sponsored solid-state lighting projects.

4. LEDs’ spreading adoption will push China’s output to 25.7 billion units and sales value to $3 billion this year.

5. Diode-based panels and modules, and TFT-LCD types of the second will post a 30 percent increase in production. The first two are projected to total 3 billion units and
the last 110 million.

6. LCD panels are catching up at the same rate based on the projected yield of 26.5 million square meters by end-2011. This is amid the scheduled opening of 8 and 8.5G TFT lines,
which will complement existing 4.5, 5 and 6G operations.

7. Concurrent to R&D pursuits, makers are collectively addressing IPR issues through short- and long-term solutions. The goal is to improve core technological competence
at company and industry levels, reduce dependence on imported components, and establish a comprehensive supply chain.
