The global LCD glass substrates market size was valued at USD 8555.28 million in 2022 and is anticipated to reach USD 12389.21 million by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 4.2% during the forecast period, 2023–2031. Growth of the market is attributed to extensive use of LCDs in PCs, TVs, tablets, and smartphones.
LCD glass substrate is a particular glass used for thin-film transistors (TFTs), which is used to produce LCD screens. These screens are mainly used in the displays of personal computers, televisions, and mobiles. An LCD panel is created by several LCD glass substrate layers and color filters.

The Covid-19 pandemic affected the demand and supply of the LCD glass substrates market. Lockdown across the globe, supply chain disorders, and oscillating supply of raw materials forced manufacturers to shut down production, leading to unfortunate decline in market growth. Launch of vaccines to combat the Covid-19 pandemic is expected to contribute to the market growth over the forecast period.
