The global 8K technology market size is expected to reach USD 117.55 billion in 2028 and register a high CAGR of 53.1% during the forecast period. The global 8K technology market is projected to develop significantly throughout the forecast period owing to rising demand for high-resolution TVs for great visual experience and availability of a variety of 8K products to empower 8K delivery and content creation.
8K technology refers to resolution of an image with a size of 8000 pixels. The display resolution is commonly used in the development of high-resolution color applications. It helps in visualizing images from a better angle and with greater clarity. Increasing demand for consumer gadgets and electronic devices such as monitors, notebooks, cameras, and television is projected to boost global 8K technology market during the forecast period. Additionally, rising government initiatives for boosting 8K technology application and increasing funding in research and development for developments in display technology is expected to drive the global market in the coming years.
However, expensive 8K technology devices and application of 8K technology difficulties in smartphones and tablets are some significant factors expected to hamper growth of the global 8K technology market over the forecast period.
Some key highlights:
- The television segment revenue is expected to dominate other product segments throughout the forecast period due to global rise for high-resolution TVs and technological advancements in televisions to enhance overall visual experience to the user. For instance, in January 2019, Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. launched a 7680H x 4320 resolution, 98-inches QLED 8K television at Consumer Technology Association, Las Vegas.
