Smartwatch display shipments to reach 34 millio in 2015, says IHS

Smartwatch display shipments to reach 34 millio in 2015, says IHS: Smartwatch display unit shipments are expected to grow 250% on year, reaching a record 34 million units in 2015, led by demand for the new Apple Watch, according to IHS. The display market is still assessing the staying power of smartwatch demand, so as not to overshoot display supply needs in the coming year, particularly for the year-end shopping season. Smartwatch display shipments are therefore forecast to decline to about 6.5 million units in the fourth quarter of 2015, after reaching a high point of 10.5 million units in the third quarter.
