Asia-Pacific Region to Dominate the Market* The Asia-Pacific region is expected to account for the largest market for optical film over the forecast period. Owing to the increasing capacity of expansions and large manufacturing capacities of electronic products, the Asia-Pacific region is expected to hold the highest market share in the electronics industry.

• China dominates the electronics production in the global market. The country's electronics production, which was steadily increasing through the years has recently suffered from deceleration owing to the ongoing trade war between China and the United States, forcing various electronics producers to shift their base from China to other countries in Asia-Pacific region.
• India has the world's third-largest TV market and is one of the largest growing markets for electronic products. According to India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF), the LED market and television industry are expected to expand to reach a total of USD 35 billion and USD 16.8 billion, respectively, by the end of 2020.
• The Japanese electrical and electronics industry is one of the world's leading industries. The country is a world leader in the production of computers, cell phones, and various other gadgets. Consumer electronics account for a third of Japan's economic output. There has been a constant increase in the demand for Japanese consumer electronics due to their durability and quality.
• Electronics is one of the major industries in South Korea. It is among the top producers and exporters of electronic products in the world. Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics are the leading players in consumer electronics since they provide a wide range of products across various categories.
• Hence, with such trends, the demand for optical films in the Asia-Pacific region is expected to grow during the forecast period.
