Touch Screen Mobile Phones Cheap

China dominates the global touch screen display market. In 2024, global touch screen shipments reached 2.032 billion pieces, of which Chinese-made screens accounted for 70% of the market share. China has become the world's largest touch screen producer with its complete industrial chain layout, scale effect and technological innovation capabilities. China's touch screen industry has formed a complete industrial chain, covering raw material supply, touch screen manufacturing, module assembly, terminal application and other links.

1. Reasons for price advantage

(I) Complete industrial chain layout
China has a complete electronic information industry chain, from upstream raw material supply to downstream terminal product manufacturing, which provides strong support for the development of the touch screen industry. This complete industrial chain layout enables enterprises to better control costs, improve production efficiency, and thus reduce product prices.
(II) Scale effect
The scale effect of China's touch screen industry is significant, and large-scale production reduces the cost of unit products. For example, global smartphone shipments in the first quarter of 2024 were about 290 million units, an increase of 8.9% year-on-year, continuing the high single-digit growth after the rebound from the bottom in the fourth quarter of 2023. With the increasing demand for mobile phone displays, the resolution of mobile phone LCD screens is also constantly improving, and high-resolution LCD screens have become mainstream. Large-scale production not only reduces the cost of raw material procurement, but also improves production efficiency, making product prices more competitive.
(III) Technological innovation
Chinese companies continue to invest in research and development in touch screen technology, promoting the progress of multi-touch technology, capacitive touch technology, etc. For example, the supplier of touch screen components of Huawei Mate 60 Pro has shifted from Synaptics in the United States to Chinese manufacturers. This technological innovation not only improves product quality, but also reduces production costs, making product prices more competitive.
(IV) Policy support
The government's support and encouragement for the electronic information industry has provided a good development environment for the touch screen industry. For example, the government's relevant subsidies and tax incentives have reduced the operating costs of enterprises and promoted the development of the industry.

II. Market trends

(I) High-end and intelligent
As consumers' requirements for quality increase, the market for high-end mobile phone LCD screens will gradually expand. Intelligent products such as smart wearable devices and wireless chargers will become market hotspots.
(II) Customization and personalization
Consumers are increasingly inclined to customize mobile phone LCD screens to meet their unique needs. In the future, more innovative and differentiated products will appear in the mobile phone LCD screen market.
(III) Environmental protection and sustainable development
Environmental protection policies force the green transformation of the industry and promote enterprises to develop environmentally friendly battery technology. For example, the EU's "New Battery Law" requires that the recycling rate of accessory batteries reach 70% by 2027, which promotes BYD and other companies to develop lithium iron phosphate detachable battery technology.

III. Industry Opportunities

(I) Growth in emerging markets
China's industrial touch screen market has shown strong growth momentum and has become an important driving force for global industrial development. In 2023, the scale of China's industrial touch screen market reached US$486 million, and it is expected that the market scale will further expand to US$521 million by 2025. This growth is mainly due to the demand for high-quality touch screens in fields such as industrial automation control systems, medical equipment, smart transportation and smart homes.
(II) Technology innovation drive
In the future, touch screen display technology will develop in the direction of flexibility, three-dimensionalization and intelligence. Flexible touch screens use bendable substrate materials and can adapt to various special-shaped surfaces; 3D touch screens can sense operation force and depth information; smart touch screens integrate AI algorithms, which can learn user operation habits and provide predictive interactive experience.

IV. Industry Challenges

(I) Intensified market competition
Although China occupies a dominant position in the global touch screen display market, market competition is still fierce. South Korea, Japan and Taiwan are highly competitive in the field of high-end touch screen technology. Domestic enterprises need to continuously improve their technology level to cope with international competition.

(II) Rapid technological upgrading
The rapid upgrading of touch screen display technology requires enterprises to continuously invest in research and development to maintain their technological leadership. This increases the R&D costs and market risks of enterprises and puts higher demands on their innovation capabilities.

V. Conclusion

Touch screen displays made in China occupy an important position in the global market, and with the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous growth of market demand, the future development prospects are broad. Enterprises need to seize opportunities in emerging markets, strengthen technological innovation, and improve product quality and service levels to cope with the challenges of market competition and technological upgrading. China's touch screen display industry is expected to continue to maintain its leading position in the global market and provide high-quality products and services to global consumers.
