Omdia Forecasts Large-Area Display Shipments to Grow 2.9% YoY in 2025 Despite Economic Uncertainty
While growth in 2025 is expected to be smaller than that of 2024, this increase comes in the face of global economic uncertainty and US tariff concerns. Notably, TV and monitor applications are projected to experience negative growth in 2025.
Chinese panel makers, who are expected to take 67.9% of total TV display shipments in 2025 are adopting a conservative approach to increasing LCD TV display shipments to manage panel prices. Similarly, panel makers outside of China are cautious about expanding their monitor display businesses due to poor finance performance.

Large-area LCD unit shipments are expected to increase by 2.4% YoY, reaching 875.5 million in 2025. Pulled-forward demand in 1Q25 has helped to boost the shipment forecast for the year. However, panel makers have little incentive to expand their monitor LCD businesses in 2025 due to financial losses, particularly among non-Chinese manufacturers.
Chinese panel makers are projected to increase monitor LCD shipments by 4.8% YoY while panel makers from other regions will decrease shipments by 12.6% YoY in 2025. Chinese panel makers are also maintaining their production-to-order policy to prevent LCD TV display price erosion starting in 2Q25.
"Interestingly, while LCD TV display unit shipments are expected to decline by 2.1% YoY, shipment area is forecast to grow by 4.9% YoY in 2025 driven by ongoing size migration trends," said Peter Su, Principal Analyst of Omdia.
Su added, "Large-area OLED unit shipments and shipment area are forecast to grow by 15.5% YoY and 10.4% YoY, respectively, in 2025. However, these figures are lower than the previous forecast (unit shipments up by 20.3% YoY and shipment area up by 12.9% YoY) from our 1Q25 report. This indicates that large-area OLED demand is slowing more than expected due to global economic uncertainty and concerns about potential impacts from the new US tariff policy."
Regional Market Share
LCD shipments: China is forecast to account for 66.7% of total large-area LCD shipments in 2025, followed by Taiwan with 21.9% and Korea with 8.0%.
Key players: BOE is expected to lead with 36.3% of total large-area LCD shipments, followed by China Star with 16.5% and Innolux with 11.6%.
OLED shipments: Korea is projected to dominate with 85.2% of total large-area OLED shipments, followed by China with 14.8%.
Key players: Samsung Display is expected to lead with 55.1%, followed by LG Display with 30.1% and EDO with 12.0%.
"Tablet PC OLED shipments are forecast to decline by 0.4% YoY in 2025 – an improvement from the previous forecast of -1.9% YoY - but still reflecting negative growth due to slower demand from Chinese PC brands and OEMs," explained Su.
"TV and monitor display shipments are expected to decline in 2025 as panel makers work to protect panel prices and avoid further losses. However, panel makers — particularly those in China — have set aggressive shipment targets for mobile PC displays, where panel makers from other regions still hold a 42.8% market share (as of 2024). This push is aimed at capturing greater market share and is expected to contribute to an overall increase in large-area display shipments during the same period," concluded Su.

Amazon faces UK lawsuits worth up to $5.4 billion from retailers, consumers
LONDON (Reuters) -Amazon faces two mass lawsuits from retailers and consumers worth up to 4 billion pounds ($5.4 billion) for allegedly abusing its dominant position, after a London tribunal on Thursday certified the cases could proceed. Andreas Stephan, a competition law academic, is bringing one of the cases on behalf of over 200,000 third-party retailers, worth up to 2.7 billion pounds. His lawyers allege that Amazon manipulates the "Buy Box" feature on its website to its own advantage and favours products that use Amazon's own logistics centres and delivery network. Consumer advocate Robert Hammond is separately bringing a case valued at up to 1.3 billion pounds on behalf of millions of Amazon customers for similar alleged abuses of dominance. Amazon argued that the Competition Appeal Tribunal should certify the cases to proceed, an early step in the proceedings, including because the economic methodology for proving the cases was flawed. But the tribunal certified both cases on an opt-out basis, meaning members of the claimant class will be part of the case unless they decide otherwise. An Amazon spokesperson said: "These claims are without merit and we're confident that will become clear through the legal process. "Amazon has always focused on supporting the 100,000 businesses that sell their products on our UK store, and more than half of all physical product sales on our UK store are from independent selling partners."

AM Best Upgrades Credit Ratings of Lincoln Heritage Life Insurance Company
OLDWICK, N.J., July 24, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AM Best has upgraded the Financial Strength Rating to A (Excellent) from A- (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Rating to "a" (Excellent) from "a-" (Excellent) of Lincoln Heritage Life Insurance Company (Lincoln Heritage) (Springfield, IL). The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) has been revised to stable from positive. The ratings reflect Lincoln Heritage's balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses as very strong, as well as its strong operating performance, limited business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management. The upgrading of the ratings for Lincoln Heritage reflects a trend of strong and consistent operating performance, with three consecutive years of record operating, underwriting, and investment earnings. The company's strong operating performance is further evidenced in the return on equity ratios, which exceed 20% on a one-, three- and five-year basis. This trend of improved operating performance began in 2022, when the company reported strong underwriting gains mainly driven by a significant decline in death claims. This trend of underwriting income continued through 2024, and continues through first-quarter 2025, as claims trends have moderated over time post the COVID-19 pandemic. Investment income has also increased significantly in recent years, largely driven by growth in invested assets and an improvement in investment yield from the investment portfolio. Lincoln Heritage's strong operating results have been accretive to the balance sheet, with risk-adjusted capital and liquidity metrics improving as its capital has accumulated over the long term. This press release relates to Credit Ratings that have been published on AM Best's website.

UK vehicle production declines in H1 2025
New vehicle manufacturing in the UK saw a decrease of 11.9% in the first half of 2025, with total production reaching 417,232 units, according to the latest figures published by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). A slight recovery was noted in June, where car production increased by 6.6%, although this was compared to a period last year that faced challenges such as model changeovers and supply chain disruptions. Switch Auto Insurance and Save Today! The Insurance Savings You Expect Affordable Auto Insurance, Customized for You Great Rates and Award-Winning Service Overall, car output for the year to date has fallen by 7.3%, with 385,810 cars produced. The commercial vehicle sector experienced a more severe decline, with production dropping by 45.4% to 31,422 units due to restructuring efforts at manufacturing plants. In contrast, the production of electrified vehicles saw a modest rise of 1.8%, resulting in 160,107 units produced, which accounted for 41.5% of total output in the first half of the year. The UK automotive industry remains focused on exports, with 76.9% of production intended for international markets, the report said. The European Union is the largest destination for UK car exports, making up 54.4% of the total, followed by the US at 15.9%, China at 7.5%, Turkey at 4.1%, and Japan at 2.7%. These five markets together represent over 80% of the UK's overseas sales. Despite a decline in export volumes over the past three months, culminating in an 18.7% drop in June, the US continues to be the largest single export market for UK vehicles, highlighting the significance of the recent UK-US trade agreement, which provides reduced tariffs for UK automotive exports. Looking forward, the global economic environment remains uncertain, with projections indicating a 15% decrease in total vehicle output to 755,000 units for 2025. However, a potential recovery is anticipated in 2026, with a forecasted increase of 6.4% bringing production to 803,000 units. The report suggests that the swift implementation of the new industrial strategy could enhance the UK's competitiveness in the automotive sector, potentially restoring its position among the top 15 global auto manufacturing locations and contributing an estimated £50bn to the economy. Additionally, the government's automotive sector strategy, DRIVE35, outlines initiatives aimed at supporting the industry's economic and environmental objectives. The introduction of the Electric Car Grant, which allocates £650m for electric vehicle incentives, may also stimulate the domestic market and improve the UK's attractiveness for industrial investment. SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes said: 'Global economic uncertainty and trade protectionism have taken their toll on automotive production across the globe, with the UK no exception. The figures are not, therefore, unexpected but remain very disappointing. 'However, there are foundations for a return to growth. The industry is moving to the technologies that will be the future of mobility. Our engineering excellence, highly-skilled workforce and global reputation are strengths, and we have an Industrial Strategy with advanced manufacturing and automotive at its core. "With rapid delivery and the right conditions, UK Automotive can reverse the current decline and deliver the jobs, economic growth and decarbonisation that Britain needs.'
