The headrest display market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.91 billion in 2024 to $2.18 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to rising demand for in-car entertainment systems, increasing sales of luxury vehicles, growth in air travel and premium seating upgrades, higher consumer spending on comfort and convenience, and expanding partnerships between automakers and display technology providers.

The headrest display market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.63 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing adoption of connected vehicles, greater integration of streaming services, growth in electric and autonomous vehicles, and rising preference for personalized infotainment. Major trends in the forecast period include a shift toward smart and touch-enabled displays, integration of wireless connectivity, emphasis on lightweight and slim designs, expansion of rear-seat infotainment ecosystems, and adoption of augmented reality (AR) and AI-driven personalization.

The increasing prevalence of luxury and premium vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the headrest display market. Luxury and premium vehicles are high-end cars that offer superior comfort, advanced technology, premium materials, and enhanced performance compared to standard or mass-market vehicles. This trend is being fueled by rising consumer disposable income, allowing more buyers to afford vehicles equipped with advanced comfort, technology, and entertainment features. Headrest displays enhance luxury and premium vehicles by providing advanced comfort and entertainment options, offering passengers a high-end in-car experience. These displays improve passenger engagement by offering high-resolution screens, connectivity options, and personalized multimedia content. For example, in January 2025, BMW Group India reported that sales of BMW luxury models (BMW 7 Series, BMW i7, BMW X7, and BMW XM) reached 2,507 units in 2024, an 8% increase from the previous year. As a result, the growing demand for connected car ecosystems is driving the expansion of the headrest display market.

The rising adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is expected to contribute to the growth of the headrest display market. EVs are automobiles powered by electric motors fueled by rechargeable batteries or fuel cells, offering lower emissions, greater energy efficiency, and reduced reliance on fossil fuels. The adoption of electric vehicles is driven by growing environmental concerns, as EVs produce fewer emissions and help reduce air pollution and climate change. The shift to electric vehicles promotes the integration of advanced in-car entertainment and connectivity features, making the passenger experience more engaging. These vehicles support high-tech infotainment systems, including larger, higher-resolution screens, which improve overall comfort and entertainment. For example, the International Energy Agency reported that electric car sales reached 3.5 million in 2023, a 35% year-on-year increase from 2022. This rising adoption of EVs is driving the demand for headrest displays.

In April 2023, Hyundai Mobis Co. Ltd., a South Korea-based advanced mobility solutions company, partnered with LG Display Co.

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.
