The growth in the forecast period can be credited to the increasing adoption of PUF displays in high-risk sectors such as banking and finance, government, and healthcare, rising demand for secure access control and anti-counterfeiting measures in official documents, growing integration of PUF technology in automotive systems for secure communication and vehicle access control, increasing focus on secure data transmission and storage in connected and autonomous vehicles, and wider implementation of PUF-enabled cards and devices for secure transactions and digital identity verification. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in optical PUF technologies for higher security levels, innovations in nanoscale fabrication techniques enhancing PUF uniqueness, integration of PUF displays in high-security applications such as government documents, development of hyperspectral imaging for PUF authentication, and incorporation of PUF technology in automotive systems for secure communication.

The increasing cybersecurity threats are expected to drive the growth of the physical unclonable-function (PUF) display market. Cybersecurity threats are potential malicious activities or vulnerabilities that can compromise the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of digital systems, networks, or data. These threats are rising due to growing digitization and interconnected devices, which expand the attack surface for cybercriminals. PUF displays enhance security by providing a hardware-based unique identity for devices, preventing counterfeiting and unauthorized access. For example, Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., a US-based cybersecurity provider, reported in February 2023 that cyberattacks increased by 38% in 2022 compared to the previous year, with organizations experiencing an average of 1,168 attacks weekly. The rise in cybersecurity threats is therefore driving the PUF display market.

The growing adoption of smartphones is expected to support the growth of the physical unclonable-function (PUF) display market. Smartphones are mobile devices that combine telecommunication functions with advanced computing capabilities, internet access, and a variety of applications. Their adoption is increasing due to rising affordability and availability, allowing broader access to mobile connectivity and digital services. In smartphones, PUF displays secure device authentication and protect sensitive data by providing a unique, tamper-resistant hardware identity. According to the GSM Association (GSMA), smartphone penetration in sub-Saharan Africa is projected to reach 87% by 2030, up from 51% in 2022. The growing adoption of smartphones is therefore driving the PUF display market.

The expansion of e-commerce is expected to propel the physical unclonable-function (PUF) display market. E-commerce, or electronic commerce, involves the buying and selling of goods and services over the internet. Its growth is driven by increasing internet penetration and consumer preference for convenient, contactless shopping. PUF displays enhance transaction security in e-commerce by verifying device authenticity and preventing fraud during online payments. According to the United States Census Bureau, U.S. e-commerce sales in the first quarter of 2025 grew by 6.1% year-over-year, surpassing the 4.5% growth in total retail sales during the same period. The expansion of e-commerce is thus driving the PUF display 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.
