Table 3: 2020 Large Panel Shipment Growth vs. Averages
The tables show that other than TV panels, each category grew substantially, however a portion of that growth would have to be attributed to what would be ‘normal’ yearly growth for each category, however if we compare shipments in 2015 to shipments in 2019 we can see the inherent growth rates are not always positive.

Based on the table data above, in 2020, Notebooks and Monitor panels grew against negative 5-year shipment growth rates, so we included a column for 3 year growth rates to give some perspective and smooth yearly variations. Against the 3 year averages Notebook panel shipments grew almost 4x times the averages while Monitor panel shipments grew over 6.5x the 3 year averages. TV panel shipments were the opposite, falling against both 5 year and 3 year averages, while tablets grew an astounding 8.8x against the 5 year averages and 8.6x against the 3 year averages. Total panel shipments grew 3.2x and 2.3x against the 5 year and 3 year averages respectfully.
