This report analyzes the current market trends of TAB/COF, summarizing market trends and the business development status of each manufacturer.
The COF market in 2019 maintained high growth until September, with production levels at their highest in history. However, as Chinese LCD manufacturers continued to increase production, this led to oversupply and a decline in panel prices. Korean and Taiwanese manufacturers had been reducing production early on, but finally, in the fourth quarter, Chinese manufacturers also began to cut back, causing a sudden halt in COF production. As a result, while the single-sided COF market in 2019 surpassed the previous year's performance due to growth in OLED and smartphones, the growth rate fell below expectations. On the other hand, the two-metal COF showed a decline. Demand for iPhones has shrunk, and starting with the 2020 model, the adoption of COP will finally become widespread. The adoption of two-metal COF is expected to further decrease. Currently, the two-metal COF market is dependent on Apple alone. This risk has been consistently highlighted, and it is finally becoming a reality.
