Global Polarizer Film Market Growth 2025-2031
Description
The global Polarizer Film market size is predicted to grow from US$ 10030 million in 2025 to US$ 12620 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.9% from 2025 to 2031.
The impact of the latest U.S. tariff measures and the corresponding policy responses from countries worldwide on market competitiveness, regional economic performance, and supply chain configurations will be comprehensively evaluated in this report.
Polarizer Film or Polarizing film is made by dyeing film (mainly polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)) or by iodine being adsorbed onto its surface, then stretching and orientating it. This gives the film polarization characteristics that allow only light with a certain oscillation direction to pass through it. Furthermore, in order to secure mechanical strength of the film, backing materials such as a TAC film or a protective film is laminated to it. Polarizing film is given various kinds of treatment. The film itself is also required to have functions to control reflection, stain and light leakage. Some types of LCDs, touch panels, or organic EL displays also require a product made by laminating a retardation film to the polarizing film.
Polarizers were first invented in the 1930s by American scientist Edwin Land. With the invention of liquid crystal displays (LCDs) in the 1970s, their applications expanded significantly. By the late 20th century, as LCD technology matured and fully replaced CRT displays, the polarizer industry entered a period of rapid development.
Currently, polarizers are categorized by panel type into TN/STN, OLED, and TFT types. TN/STN and OLED polarizers for LCD panels have limited applications and smaller market sizes due to inferior display performance. OLED panels, particularly large-sized ones, face challenges such as low production yields and short lifespans, resulting in constrained global demand and production capacity. Presently, TFT-LCD polarizers dominate the global polarizer market.
As a critical raw material for display panels, polarizer supply/demand dynamics and growth prospects remain closely tied to the TFT-LCD panel market. Expanding end markets including smartphones, computers, and LCD TVs, along with emerging applications like wearable devices and smart home products, continue to drive demand for polarizers.
Accounting for approximately 10% of LCD panel costs, polarizers play a vital role in display performance. The growing demand for display panels has fueled rapid growth in polarizer production.
This high-barrier market has long been dominated by manufacturers like LG Chem, Sumitomo Chemical, and Nitto Denko. However, emerging markets' technological advancements have gradually reduced the market concentration of Japanese and Korean.
