LEDinside 2026 New Year's message: Prancing horse and whip, heading towards a new LED journey

2025 is about to come to an end.

Looking back on this year, the LED industry has accelerated in the wave of technological innovation and market reshaping.

During this year, panel giants have strongly entered the MLED display field, promoting the transformation of the LED industry into integrated competition across the entire industry chain.

This year, LED technology and applications ushered in new breakthroughs. Micro LED AR glasses have ushered in the first year of development, and the launch of Garmin Micro LED watches has verified the commercial potential of small-sized wearable devices. At the same time, the development of MIP packaging technology has accelerated the mass production process of Micro LED large-size displays. RGB-Mini LED TV sets a new benchmark in the high-end picture quality market. In addition, the number of LED movie screens has reached a new high, becoming an important indicator of audio-visual upgrades in theaters.

During this year, LED companies continued to expand their businesses and markets. Manufacturers are rushing into the optical communications market to seize new opportunities brought by the AI era; domestic automotive LED companies are accelerating development in the wave of intelligence through mergers and acquisitions and vertical integration. Faced with the complex and ever-changing global situation, many manufacturers have chosen to set up production bases overseas, while at the same time connecting with the international capital market and broadening financing channels through listing in Hong Kong.

In 2025, TrendForce will continue to focus on the forefront of the LED industry. Its optoelectronics research center has released gold-level and member reports, and launched multi-dimensional research reports focusing on Mini/Micro LED, LED display, LED lighting, automotive LED, UV/IR LED, near-eye display and panel.

Throughout the year, the LEDinside website and WeChat platform output more than 2,100 pieces of content, including analysis and reviews, industry information, exhibition visits, corporate interviews and panel price trends, providing professional information for the LED industry.

In addition, TrendForce successfully held a new display industry seminar and a self-luminous display industry seminar in 2025. Senior analysts and industry experts conducted in-depth discussions on new optoelectronic opportunities empowered by AI, provided comprehensive and professional interpretations of industry trends, and worked with industry colleagues to promote the sustainable development of the entire LED industry.

On the occasion of the New Year, TrendForce sincerely wishes everyone success, career success, and family happiness! I wish the LED industry to leap forward in 2026 and embark on a new development journey!
