The industry will see a growing market share for the new technologies of high-brightness/sunlight readable and UHD/4k. As prices have been eroding by up to 20 % year-on-year, the comparably high margins in these product categories will have a positive impact for hardware vendors and suppliers. However, due to a high cost (CAPEX & OPEX) growth will be limited and the overall market share will remain hedged to a maximum of 15 % with High-Brightness and 10 % with UHD. Particularly the energy costs for the former and the content costs for the latter of interest here.
