Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5m9r36/global_and) has announced the addition of the "Global and Chinese Touch Screen (Panel) Industry Report, 2014-2015" report to their offering.

The core of the touch screen market is reflected in smartphones and Tablet PCs, both of which will be in trouble in the next three years. The smartphone market has obviously been saturated and slowed down. China exceeds the United States to see the highest smartphone penetration rate. However, the Chinese smartphone market, where a person often holds two smartphones, is the first one that suffers recession in the world. From January to October of 2014, China's smartphone shipments dropped 10.4% year on year to 312 million. China's sluggish economy is also a reason for the decline.

The Tablet PC market witnesses saturation as well. Impacted by bigger and bigger mobile phone screens, the market of Tablet PCs featured with simple functions stopped growth to descend in 2014. In terms of willingness-to-buy, adults would like to buy Tablet PCs for children, marking low replacement frequency. In the next few years, the Tablet PC market will be in a mild recession, which even can not be reversed by Apple's upcoming 12.9-inch Tablet PCs.

For Out-Cell touch screen vendors, In-Cell and On-Cell threaten their market, the downstream market halted, and the Out-Cell touch screen capacity is excessive dramatically. In 2014, the Out-Cell touch screen market witnessed a fierce price war, and the market size shrunk by 16.2%, especially South Korean and Taiwanese vendors which suffered the hugest losses and some of them losing revenue by 50%, let alone bankrupt small vendors.
