According to the recently published “2025 OLED Component and Materials Report” by UBI Research, the market for cover windows used in foldable and rollable OLED devices is projected to exceed USD 700 million by 2029.

The report forecasts that the overall OLED components and materials market will grow from USD 17.2 billion in 2025 to USD 20.2 billion by 2029, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4%. Within this, the mobile device segment is expected to expand from USD 16.2 billion to USD 18.7 billion, continuing to drive the overall market. Meanwhile, the OLED TV components and materials market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.5%, reaching USD 1.5 billion by 2029.

Among these segments, the growth of the cover window market for foldable and rollable devices is particularly notable. In terms of volume, demand is expected to rise from 30.3 million units in 2025 to 70.7 million units by 2029. In revenue terms, the market is forecast to expand from USD 320 million to USD 726 million over the same period. For these devices, UTG (Ultra Thin Glass) and CPI (Color-less PI) are the primary cover window materials, with UTG adoption steadily increasing while CPI demand continues to decline.

Changho Noh, Senior Analyst at UBI Research, stated: “With Apple’s foldable smartphone launch now on the horizon, the foldable market is rapidly expanding. At the same time, new form factors such as Slidable, Rollable, and Tri-Fold devices are emerging, which will further accelerate the growth of components and materials markets for foldable and rollable devices.”

UBI Research emphasized that this report provides crucial insights into the OLED components and materials industry, which is evolving around the key themes of high functionality, slim form factor, diversification, internalization, and new manufacturing processes—all of which are critical for shaping the future strategies of the global display industry.
