In recent years, with the technology progress and rapid development of OLED
lighting/display, organic photovoltaic and flexible printed circuit board industry. The
upstream industry is also active. In high-performance polymer optical thin film, the
inorganic and transparent polyimide (CPI) film and its analogs, including polyamide imide
(PAI), poly (ether imide) (PEI) occupied the leading position.
At present, the global transparent polyimide film technology is monopolized by the United
States, Japan and South Korea; the main producers are MGC, I.S.T Corporation, NeXolve,
DuPont, CEN Electronic Material and Hipolyking. Japan is now the world's leading producer
and consumer of transparent polyimide films, accounting for 95% of the world's output. MGC
is Japan's leading producer and the first commercial producer of transparent polyimide film,
which accounts for 93% of the world's transparent polyimide film market. SKC and KOLON are
also actively developing transparent polyimide film. SKC plans to mass production in the
second quarter of 2017, KOLON plans to begin mass production in the first quarter of 2018.

When SKC and Kolon's CPI project is mass produced, South Korea will also become the main
producer. Toyobo claims that it has commercialized a transparent PI film, but no mass
production related news.
The "2017 global transparent polyimide film market development status" released by
QYResearch shows that the world's transparent polyimide film production is about 928,000
square meters in 2016, and the output value of about 154 million US dollars. It is expected
that the annual growth rate will reach 10% in the next few years. From the downstream
point of view, flexible display technology and thin-film solar cells will be the main driving
force for the transparent polyimide film market, and the transparent polyimide film sales in
OLED lighting / display and organic photovoltaic accounted for 73% of the global market in
2016.
