DSCC sees fast growth (43% CAGR) in the OLED lighting market, but material usage will remain small and reach $69 million in 2022 (up from $11 million in 2017).
The company with the largest market share of all OLED material makers is Universal Display, which is expected to increase its market share and grow at a CAGR of 30%.

It is interesting to see that DSCC does not expect TADF makers Cynora and Kyulux to achieve significant shares, these two companies are not even included in DSCC's report.
