Korean display manufacturers, particularly in the OLED sector, are maintaining a significant cost advantage over Chinese rivals, despite China’s aggressive, subsidy-backed expansion. While Korean companies like Samsung Display and LG Display show strong profitability with low cost-of-sales ratios, Chinese firms struggle with profitability due to high costs and low unit prices, leading to financial losses despite increased market share. Korean companies are continuing preemptive investments in next-generation OLED technology, such as 8.6-generation production, to solidify their competitive edge and prevent a repeat of past losses in the LCD market.
