One can then observe that, Vendors are increasingly promoting the display
concept (touch display) with cover glass in smartphones. Many smartphone and
display vendors are developing additional features for cover glass, such as
rigidity and flexibility, to enhance attributes like weight, display
resolution, and pixel density.
According to Technavio, as the smartphone segment drives the majority
of revenue for the global cover glass market, and countries including South Korea,
China, U.S., and Taiwan are generating most revenue in the global smartphone
market.
The firm also reveals that,
the tablet segment is the
second-largest contributor to this market. Recent advances in touchscreen
technology like an improved visual experience, a thinner and lightweight body,
superior performance, and high sensitivity have led to the increased adoption
of cover glass touch panels in the global market.
However, the demand for PCs integrated with cover glass
has been low, as customers prefer portable communication devices. New devices
like smartwatches and hybrid PCs are likely to integrate cover glass in a near
future.
