On Camera Monitor Global Market Report 2025

The on camera monitor market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.7 billion in 2024 to $1.79 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to rising demand for professional video production, growth in the content creation industry, increase in live-streaming and broadcasting, growing demand for multi-camera setups, and rising popularity of drones for video capture.

The on camera monitor market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.35 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rise in demand for high-definition video in streaming platforms, increasing use of on-camera monitors in corporate and educational video production, growing popularity of vlogging and personal video content creation, increasing demand for on-location filming with mobile setups, growth of educational and training video content production. Major trends in the forecast period include demand for high-resolution displays, integration of touchscreen interfaces for better user experience, integration with external cameras for enhanced monitoring, development of compact and lightweight on-camera monitors, and enhanced battery life in modern monitors.

The forecast of 7% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.5% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US through higher costs for production monitoring equipment, mainly manufactured in South Korea and Germany, increasing expenses for film studios and broadcast facilities. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The growing number of film production projects is expected to drive the growth of the on-camera monitor market in the coming years. Film production projects involve a series of stages, including development, pre-production, shooting, post-production, and distribution, to create visual storytelling content. The rise in film production is largely driven by the increasing demand for original content on streaming platforms, creating more opportunities for filmmakers to produce diverse and innovative films. These projects boost the demand for on-camera monitors, as they are essential for ensuring visual accuracy in framing, focus, and exposure during shoots. For example, in February 2025, a report from the British Film Institute (BFI) indicated that UK spending on film and high-end TV production reached $7.4 billion (£5.6 billion) in 2024, marking a 31% increase from the previous year. As a result, the growing number of film production projects is expected to significantly fuel the growth of the on-camera monitor market.

Major companies in the on-camera monitor market are focusing on developing advanced products, such as backlit IPS displays, to provide uniform backlighting. Backlit IPS displays are favored for their excellent color reproduction, wide viewing angles, and consistent brightness, making them ideal for applications that require precise and vibrant visuals. For example, in January 2025, BenQ Corporation, a Taiwan-based consumer electronics company, launched the PVS7 on-camera monitor. This 7-inch backlit IPS display offers a resolution of 1920 x 1200 and an impressive 2000-nit peak brightness, ensuring visibility even in direct sunlight. It features an advanced anti-reflective coating that reduces reflectance to just 5%, improving clarity in bright conditions. The display also incorporates BenQ's AQCOLOR technology, which ensures consistent color accuracy across the entire screen, and supports the Rec.709 color gamut with pre-calibrated precision, delivering exceptional color performance for professional use.

In April 2024, Nikon Corporation, a Japan-based imaging products manufacturer, acquired RED.com LLC for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition is expected to expand the potential for innovative imaging solutions by combining the strengths of both companies, resulting in the creation of unique new products. The partnership aims to enhance the appeal of both brands, attracting a wider audience and reinforcing their positions as leaders in imaging technology. RED.com LLC is a US-based company, known for manufacturing camera monitors.

An on-camera monitor is an external screen connected to a camera, commonly used by videographers and filmmakers to view footage more clearly and on a larger display during recording. These monitors provide higher resolution, improved color accuracy, and advanced features including focus peaking, waveform monitors, and exposure tools, allowing for more precise control over image composition, focus, and lighting.

The primary types of on-camera monitors are liquid crystal display (LCD) monitors, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) monitors, and light-emitting diode (LED) monitors. LCD on-camera monitors are external display devices mounted on cameras that use liquid crystal technology to deliver real-time visual feedback. They enable videographers and photographers to view footage with enhanced clarity, accurate color representation, and better framing compared to built-in camera screens. These monitors come in various sizes, such as up to 5 inches, 5 to 7 inches, 7 to 10 inches, and over 10 inches, and are available in different resolutions, including high definition, full high definition, 4K ultra high definition, and beyond. They can be distributed through both online and offline channels and are used across various industries, including broadcasting, film and video production, photography, and sports and event coverage.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp escalation of U.S. tariffs and resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly affecting the electrical and electronics sector. Key components such as semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals crucial for batteries and motors are now facing heavy duties. Consumer electronics companies are seeing profit margins shrink, as fierce competition makes it difficult to pass on rising costs to consumers. At the same time, industrial electronics firms are experiencing project delays due to shortages of tariff-impacted parts like printed circuit boards. In response, businesses are shifting assembly operations to tariff-exempt nations, building up inventory reserves, and redesigning products to reduce reliance on restricted materials.
