Secure-Boot Display Microcontroller Global Market Report 2025

The secure-boot display microcontroller market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.92 billion in 2024 to $2.19 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.9%. The growth during the historic period can be credited to the increasing deployment of secure-boot controllers in smart home devices, rising demand for secure transactions in banking and payment terminals, growing reliance on microcontrollers with hardware security in defense systems, expanding integration of secure display units in aerospace applications, and the wider adoption of security-enabled chips in wearable electronics.

The secure-boot display microcontroller market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.64 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be credited to the increasing demand for secure microcontrollers in electric and autonomous vehicles, rising adoption of IoT devices requiring built-in security, growing need for trusted displays in medical diagnostics and monitoring, expanding integration of blockchain-enabled secure hardware solutions, and the wider deployment of secure-boot technologies in industrial automation systems. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in ultra-low-power secure-boot microcontrollers, innovations in display security features for fraud prevention, integration of AI-based threat detection within secure controllers, development of multi-factor hardware authentication systems, and the integration of cloud-connected secure microcontrollers for remote management.

The rising proliferation of connected devices is expected to drive the growth of the secure-boot display microcontroller market. Connected devices are physical objects equipped with sensors, software, or communication technologies that connect to networks such as the internet to collect, exchange, and act on data. Demand for these devices is increasing as improvements in internet infrastructure make it easier and faster for users to access multiple devices online. Secure-boot display microcontrollers support this growth by ensuring each device starts with trusted software, enhancing security and reliability for broader adoption. For example, Ericsson reported in November 2022 that the number of IoT-connected devices is projected to reach 34.7 billion by 2028, up from 13.2 billion in 2022. This rising proliferation of connected devices is therefore fueling the secure-boot display microcontroller market.

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 rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are significantly impacting the information technology sector, particularly in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Higher duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have raised production and operational costs for tech firms, cloud service providers, and data centers. Companies relying on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are facing longer lead times and increased pricing pressures. In parallel, tariffs on specialized software tools and retaliatory measures from key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and reduced overseas demand for U.S.-developed technologies. To navigate these challenges, the sector is accelerating investments in domestic chip fabrication, diversifying supplier bases, and adopting AI-driven automation to enhance operational resilience and cost efficiency.
