Smartphone Screen Protector Market Dynamics

Driver: Increasing smartphone sales

The market for smartphone screen protectors is projected to experience significant growth, driven by a marked increase in smartphone sales and shipments over the past five years. The surge in consumer adoption of technologically advanced smartphones is anticipated to be a key factor propelling market expansion. The smartphone market offers a variety of choices to consumers in terms of pricing, designs, and features. Moreover, substantial technological advancements by smartphone manufacturers have resulted in the creation of smartphones with superior features. Between 2010 and 2012, there was a considerable increase in smartphone shipments, primarily due to Samsung's introduction of a wide range of smartphones and the growing consumer adoption of Apple Inc.'s high-priced smartphones. Samsung's introduction of a plethora of sub-USD 300 smartphones served as a significant catalyst for the smartphone market. From 2013 to 2015, smartphone sales saw a substantial increase, driven by consumers' enhanced spending capabilities. Furthermore, during this period, the market was fueled by a significant surge in smartphone demand in emerging economies such as India, China, and South Korea.

Driver: Rising penetration of tempered glass screen protectors

Smartphone screen protectors can be categorized based on the material into thermoplastic polyurethane, polyethylene terephthalate, and tempered glass. During the early stages of the smartphone market, plastic screen protectors held a significant market share. However, the advent of tempered glass screen protectors has led to a considerable decrease in the market for plastic protectors. High-end smartphones such as iPhones and Samsung Galaxy S and Note series have seen a surge in demand for glass screen protectors due to their superior damage prevention features. The demand for tempered glass screen protectors has grown due to their enhanced shock absorption properties. There is a growing demand for screen protectors that offer increased protection for the smartphone by absorbing the impact when the smartphone is dropped. Moreover, the superior characteristics of tempered glass screen protectors, such as scratch resistance and oil repulsion, are anticipated to fuel the demand for glass screen protectors in the forecast period. Additionally, the widespread availability of tempered glass screen protectors for a broad spectrum of smartphones, regardless of their price point, is expected to stimulate market growth.

Restraint: Introduction of impact-resistant cover glass

The escalating demand for screen protectors, attributed to their superior resistance to impact, is projected to fuel the product's demand over the forecast period. Screen protectors serve to safeguard against scratches and cracks. Tempered glass has become the material of choice for smartphone screen protectors. The introduction of advanced cover glass materials in smartphones is expected to influence the demand for screen protectors. These advanced screen protectors provide enhanced protection against scratch and high-impact drop damages. The emergence of such glasses is anticipated to lessen consumer reliance on screen protectors. Moreover, concerns among consumers about reduced touch response due to the use of screen protectors are likely to stimulate the demand for high-strength cover glass for smartphones. Moreover, the advanced cover glasses could eliminate the extra cost associated with smartphone procurements, which is anticipated to boost the demand for such smartphones, consequently leading to a decline in the demand for screen guards.
