Industry Shipped Record-High Volume of Display Glass in 2021: DSCC

Glassmakers shipped a record 687 million square meters (821.6 million square yards) of display glass in 2021, up 13% from 2020, reported Display Supply Chain Consultants Monday. Strong demand for large-screen LCD panels generated the increase, though shipments in Q4 of 174.5 million square meters (208.7 million square yards) were down 2% sequentially from Q3, said DSCC. Shipments are expected to increase 1% sequentially in Q1, as “higher capacity offsets slower panel maker utilizations,” it said.
