Illuminated Automotive Trim Display Global Market Report 2025

The illuminated automotive trim display market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.88 billion in 2024 to $2.15 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.5%. The growth during the historic period resulted from increasing focus on in-cabin user experience, rising disposable incomes, growing popularity of electric and hybrid vehicles, higher demand for premium vehicles, and greater emphasis on vehicle personalization.

The illuminated automotive trim display market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.65 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.1%. Growth in the forecast period is driven by rising demand for vehicle customization and retrofitting, increasing adoption of digital dashboards, growing monetization potential of AR-HUDs, higher demand for advanced functionalities, and increasing levels of driving automation. Key trends in the forecast period include advancements in material technology, progress in self-driving technologies, improvements in production processes, integration of smart surface technology, and development of highly customizable interiors.

The increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is expected to drive the growth of the illuminated automotive trim display market. EVs, which are powered by electric motors using battery-stored energy, are gradually replacing or supplementing traditional internal combustion engines. The rise in EV adoption is primarily driven by environmental concerns, as these vehicles produce little to no tailpipe emissions, helping reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Illuminated automotive trim displays support EVs by offering clear, customizable visual indicators for charging status, range, and system alerts, thus improving driver awareness and safety. For example, in March 2024, the International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that sales of electric cars in 2023 were 3.5 million units higher than in 2022, marking a 35% year-on-year increase. As a result, the growing adoption of electric vehicles is fueling the expansion of the illuminated automotive trim display market.

Companies in the illuminated automotive trim display market are focusing on innovative solutions, such as e-ink prism-based and LED-integrated surfaces, to enhance interior customization, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal in modern vehicles. E-ink prism display technology is a low-power, high-contrast system that uses charged pigment microcapsules to create customizable color and pattern effects on interior trim surfaces, offering design flexibility with minimal energy consumption. For example, in July 2023, Continental AG, a Germany-based automotive technology company, introduced advanced cockpit and interior display innovations aimed at transforming vehicle cabins into highly personalized and sustainable environments. These solutions enable vivid, power-efficient visuals and support extensive personalization, enhancing user experience and brand differentiation while maintaining driver focus through intelligent display integration. The objective is to create next-generation automotive interiors that combine style, efficiency, and intuitive interaction to meet the evolving demands of consumers and sustainability.

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 transport sector, particularly in fleet maintenance and logistics operations. Higher duties on imported commercial vehicles, tires, and engine components have increased operational costs for trucking and freight companies, forcing them to raise shipping rates or reduce margins. Airlines and maritime shippers face similar pressures, with tariffs on aircraft parts and shipbuilding materials driving up capital expenditures. Additionally, retaliatory tariffs in key export markets have reduced demand for U.S.-made transportation equipment, further straining revenue streams. The sector must now prioritize fuel efficiency, alternative sourcing, and automation to offset rising expenses while maintaining service reliability.
