The transparent display market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $5.55 billion in 2025 to $8.11 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 46.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing adoption in retail displays, early use in automotive hud systems, expansion of digital signage applications, reliance on lcd-based transparent panels, initial integration in consumer appliances.
The transparent display market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $36.38 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 45.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for oled transparent technologies, expansion of smart appliance displays, growth in immersive retail experiences, development of high-resolution transparent signage, increasing deployment in transportation and aviation. Major trends in the forecast period include development of ar/vr-based transparent interfaces, expansion of IoT-integrated smart display systems, advancement of industrial transparent visualization panels, adoption of AI-enhanced display optimization, growth of cloud-connected transparent media solutions.
The rising demand from end-use industries is driving the growth of the transparent display market. A transparent display refers to a type of display where the emissive layer receives light from electrical impulses that travel through the conductive layer. According to LG Display, a South Korea-based manufacturer and supplier of thin-film transistor liquid crystal display panels, OLEDs, and flexible displays, there is growing demand for their transparent OLED technology across various markets, including smart buildings, smart homes, and transportation. In the second quarter of 2024, revenues increased by 28% to KRW 6.7 trillion ($4.98 billion), up from KRW 5.25 trillion ($3.9 billion) in the first quarter of the same year, and represented a 42% increase compared to KRW 4.73 trillion ($3.52 billion) in the second quarter of 2023. Thus, the increasing demand from end-use industries is fueling the growth of the transparent display market.
Major companies in the transparent display market are also focusing on the development of curved transparent OLEDs to enhance their competitive position. Curved transparent OLEDs find applications in innovative displays and architectural designs, offering a combination of aesthetics and functionality. In June 2023, LG Business Solutions USA unveiled transparent digital displays, including a high-pixel-pitch LED film product and 55-inch transparent OLED displays. These displays transform static signage areas into dynamic and interactive spaces, providing creative possibilities for businesses, interior designers, and content creators.
In November 2024, Smartkem, a US-based display technology company, collaborated with AUO to develop a new generation of rollable, transparent MicroLED displays. This partnership aims to advance transparent and flexible display technologies, accelerate the adoption of innovative MicroLED solutions, and promote next-generation display applications in global markets. AUO is a Taiwan-based manufacturing company specializing in advanced display production solutions.
