The global touch and display industry is at a turning point, fuelled by AI advancements, technological breakthroughs, and shifting markets. How can businesses rise above the competition and secure future opportunities? C-Touch & Display Shenzhen returns, taking place October 28-30, 2025, at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Centre (Bao’an New Venue). 

This year’s event spotlights next-gen touch and display solutions alongside advanced semiconductor packaging, uniting pioneers to spark high-quality growth and redefine industry potential.

China pioneers as a global display hub

The touch and display sectors are increasingly centering on China, with investments pivoting from traditional LCD to OLED, Mini/Micro LED, and silicon-based OLED technologies. In 2024, global display output topped $200 billion, up over 15% year-on-year, while China’s emerging display market hit $100 billion, growing 14% and claiming nearly half the global share.

Innovations like OLED, Mini/Micro LED, quantum dots, and printed OLED are maturing fast, unlocking potential in fields like extended reality (XR: AR/VR/MR), smart cockpits, smart homes, and industrial/medical applications—setting the stage for explosive growth.

AI revolutionises displays, igniting a new era

In automotive, AI-enhanced displays are redefining smart cockpits, boosting safety and interactivity

AI is transforming consumer electronics—smartphones, laptops, TVs, and XR devices now boast richer designs and smarter features, driving a surge in upgrades. Analysts predict generative AI (Gen AI) will reshape the smartphone market, with shipments soaring past 730 million units by 2028—triple 2024’s forecast. By then, 9 in 10 smartphones over $250 will feature Gen AI.

In automotive, AI-enhanced displays are redefining smart cockpits, boosting safety and interactivity. From central screens to heads-up displays (HUD) and emotion-monitoring systems, AI makes in-vehicle experiences smarter, more personalised, and seamless—paving the way for digital, connected, and entertainment-focused cabins.

As displays become ubiquitous in the digital economy, AI paired with technologies like QLED, OLED, and Mini/Micro LED will push the industry toward a smarter, more tailored future. In 2025, AI will remain a cornerstone of consumer electronics innovation.

PLP and TGV tech: The next leap in semiconductor displays

Glass substrates are stealing the spotlight in advanced packaging, critical for both displays (LCD, OLED, Mini/Micro LED) and next-gen chip solutions. Through-Glass Via (TGV) technology outperforms traditional silicon with faster signal transmission and superior performance.

With 5G, AI, and IoT driving demand, giants like Samsung, Apple, Intel, BOE, LG, and Tongfu Microelectronics are racing to dominate this space, investing heavily in R&D between 2023 and 2025. The future of glass substrates looks bright.
