This report analyzes the global e-paper display market in terms of product types, technology, and geography. On the basis of product types, the market is segmented into e-book readers, mobile phones and PC, poster and signage, smart packaging and smart cards, and others (navigation screens, avionic displays, etc.). Similarly, on the basis of technology, the market for e-paper displays is further classified into electrophoretic, electrowetting, cholesteric, and others (electrochromic, etc.). The geographical distribution of the global e-paper display market considered in this study encompasses regional markets such as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa, and Latin America.
Overview:
Superior features offered in terms of thickness, power consumption, flexibility, and visibility in daylight make e-paper displays a potential futuristic display technology for both consumer and non-consumer (industrial and commercial) applications. In addition, the introduction of large format flexible displays is expected to offer a sound opportunity for market growth during the forecast period 2020 – 2028. Even though the market for e-readers is on a decline, the regulated demand from the segment (which currently accounts for major chunk of the total market revenue) is expected to drive the e-paper display market, at least during the first two-three years of the forecast period 2020 – 2028. These factors are expected to contribute towards a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2% during the forecast period 2020 – 2028. The e-paper display market is expected to reach US$ 5.9Bn by 2028, expanding at a CAGR of 8.2% during the forecast period 2020 to 2028.

Based on product type, the e-paper display market is categorized into the following segments:
In 2019, e-book readers were the largest product segment in terms of both revenue and unit shipments. It accounted for over half of the global e-paper display market revenue in 2019. This dominance can be attributed to the widespread use of electrophoretic displays in e-reader devices by the leading vendors including Amazon and Sony (Kindle and Sony Digital Paper DPTS1). Others including bookstore giant Barnes & Noble and Kobo are focusing on pushing their e-reader devices through bookstores. However, recent trends suggest that the sales of e-book readers are on a decline and thus, we expect the market for e-book readers to slow down in the coming years. On the contrary, the signage and poster segment is poised to witness maximum growth during the forecast period 2020 – 2028. The anticipated growth is expected to be driven by the increasing use of e-paper displays in a wide range of indoor and outdoor displays such as digital signage and electronic shelf tags. Other product segments including mobile devices & PC and smart cards & smart packaging are also expected to witness steady growth, offering potential growth opportunities in the years to come.
Based on different technologies employed, the global e-paper display market is segmented into the following categories
A wide range of e-paper display technologies have been introduced which have led to the emergence of new display-based products. Some of these technologies (some non-emissive and some bistable) include electrophoretic, electrowetting, electrochromic, cholesteric, electrofluidic display, zenithal bistable display, and interferometric modulator display among others. In the base year of 2019, electrophoretic was the major technology employed in electronic paper displays, accounting for over three-fourth of the global market revenue. The technology segment is expected to remain the largest revenue contributing segment in the e-paper display market throughout the forecast period 2020 - 2028. The dominance can be majorly attributed to the regulated demand from the e-readers segment. Since the technology offers a wide viewing angle, better contrast, and can retain an image without consuming power, it is increasingly preferred in e-reader devices. Although the segment is poised to remain the largest technology segment over the forecast period, the emergence of other potential technologies like electrowetting and cholesteric is expected to slow down the adoption of electrophoretic technology. The electrowetting technology is poised to witness the fastest growth owing to superior benefits offered in terms of reflectivity and contrast over other display technologies. These benefits make them an ideal option for posters and signage applications.
North America comprising Canada and the U.S. is currently the largest e-paper display market in terms of both revenue and shipments. In 2019, the region accounted for over 30% of the global market revenue. The U.S. is the front runner in display related research, and thus represents the largest individual e-paper display market worldwide. A multitude of research initiatives in the field of display technologies is the prime characteristics of the market that demand the use of advanced e-paper products. Over the forecast period 2020 – 2028, North America is expected to remain the largest e-paper display market. However, Asia Pacific is expected to witness maximum growth, outpacing North America, and Europe during the forecast period 2020 - 2028. Evolving digital habits of consumers coupled with the proportionate latent demand for e-reader devices is expected to spur market growth in the region.
