CTOnews.com, April 28 (Xinhua) according to the latest research from Omdia's "tablet and laptop display panels and OEM Market tracking report", total shipments of portable computer panels (CTOnews.com note: the report includes laptops and tablets) reached 479 million in 2022. This is not only the first time annual shipments have fallen below 500m since 2020, but also the first year-on-year decline of 16 per cent since 2019.

After three years of rapid growth, demand for portable computers continued to cool in 2022.

With the exception of Apple, panel purchases by most laptop brands fell by double digits in 2022 compared with the same period last year. Apple purchased 99 million portable computer panels in 2022, but it was still down 4% from a year earlier. Apple has been the largest purchaser of portable computer panels since 2017. Thanks to strong growth in iPad and MacBook products, Apple's share of laptop panel purchases rose from an average of 17 per cent the previous year to 21 per cent in 2022, surpassing 20 per cent for the first time. In terms of applications, Apple purchased 2700 million laptop display panels and 7200 million tablet display panels in 2022. Apple's suppliers of portable computer panels are BOE, LG display and Sharp.

Lenovo, the world's second-largest purchaser of portable computer panels, purchased 55 million tablets in 2022, down 29 per cent to 11 per cent from a year earlier, after slow growth in the tablet business. Lenovo purchased 4500 million laptop display panels and 1000 million tablet display panels in 2022. In order to reduce the risk of monopoly by display panel suppliers, Lenovo has worked with all portable computer display panel manufacturers for many years. Recently, Lenovo has continued to deepen its cooperation with Chinese display panel suppliers.

In terms of laptop display panels, Lenovo became the largest buyer in 2022 with 45 million tablets, followed by Dell with 3500 million and Hewlett-Packard with 3300 million. Hewlett-Packard has been the largest purchaser of laptop display panels for years. Hewlett-Packard fell to third place as the world's largest purchaser of laptop panels in 2022 under strict inventory controls and reduced procurement plans. Looking forward to 2023, the overall performance of the global portable computer market is still poor, the procurement strategies of notebook display panels of various brands tend to be conservative, and forecasts are reduced to the lowest. Ensuring that the number of laptops displayed with strategic partners will be a top priority for 2023.

In terms of tablet display panels, Apple's iPad became the largest buyer in 2022 with 7200 million tablets, followed by Samsung of 29 million, Amazon of 1400 million and Lenovo of 1000 million. The top four tablet panel buyers all saw year-on-year declines in 2022. After Apple adopted the inventory digestion strategy, the purchasing power of iPad panels in the first half of 2023 will continue to be weak.
