Touch Screen Monitor Made In China

China dominates the global touch screen display market. In 2024, global touch screen shipments reached 2.032 billion pieces, of which screens made in China accounted for 70% of the market share. With a complete industrial chain layout, economies of scale and technological innovation capabilities, China has become the world's largest touch screen producer.

China's touch screen industry has formed a complete industrial chain, covering raw material supply, touch screen manufacturing, module assembly, terminal applications and other links.

I. Technology Trends

(I) Mainstream Technology
At present, capacitive touch screens have become the mainstream of the market, and replacing resistive touch screens has become a development trend. Capacitive touch screens can be further divided into surface type and projection type, among which projection type has gradually become the mainstream technology due to its performance advantages.
(II) Development of New Technologies
With the maturity of new technologies, single-piece glass technology (such as OGS technology) and On-Cell technology (for OLED devices) will be the first to achieve mass production. These technologies have the advantages of simple manufacturing process and high technical maturity, which will further enhance the performance and market competitiveness of touch screen displays.
(III) Product structure innovation
Embedded touch screens have gradually become the mainstream choice for industrial applications. They install the touch detection device directly in the display device housing, with the advantages of compact structure, good protection, and precise touch. Compared with external products, embedded design is more adaptable to the stringent requirements of industrial environments for equipment reliability.

II. 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.

III. Industry Challenges

(I) Intensified market competition
Although China has 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.

IV. 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 consumers around the world.
