The digital side-window display market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.69 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to integration of ai-based driver assistance visuals, expansion of autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles, adoption of smart glass and transparent displays, rising electric vehicle production, increasing investments in smart mobility ecosystems. Major trends in the forecast period include AI-driven contextual side-window interfaces, ar-based navigation and safety overlays, connected vehicle-to-window data integration, immersive passenger infotainment experiences, ev-optimized low-power window display systems.

The increasing consumer demand for autonomous vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the digital side-window display market. Autonomous vehicles, which operate without human intervention using sensors, AI, and control systems, are gaining popularity due to their ability to improve traffic efficiency. These vehicles can communicate with each other and traffic systems to optimize routes, reduce congestion, and lower travel times. Digital side-window displays support autonomous vehicles by enhancing passenger information and safety, providing real-time data such as blind-spot alerts, navigation cues, traffic updates, and sensor-based surroundings. This allows passengers to monitor the vehicle’s environment and system decisions, improving situational awareness. For instance, in December 2024, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, a U.S.-based non-profit organization, projected that by 2025, there would be 3.5 million self-driving vehicles on U.S. roads, increasing to 4.5 million by 2030. As a result, the growing consumer demand for autonomous vehicles is driving the digital side-window display market.

Leading companies in the digital side-window display market are focusing on developing innovative technologies, such as advanced laser phosphor displays, to enhance visual clarity, energy efficiency, and overall in-vehicle experiences. A laser phosphor display uses laser light sources to excite phosphor material, producing bright, high-resolution images with superior color accuracy and durability. For example, in January 2023, Appotronics Corp., a China-based technology company, introduced the world’s first multi-window immersive display technology at CES, which featured laser-powered displays on all four side windows of a vehicle. This technology provides an enhanced user experience by delivering personalized information and entertainment without distracting the driver. It also improves safety through intuitive heads-up displays and is designed to integrate seamlessly into next-generation smart and electric vehicles, offering flexible, high-brightness visuals throughout the car's cabin.

In February 2024, Gauzy Ltd., an Israel-based technology company, partnered with LG Electronics Inc. to develop and commercialize advanced smart glass and display solutions for automotive and consumer applications. The collaboration focuses on bringing to market T-OLED transparent display technology with dynamic light control, offering high-contrast, interactive transparent displays. This partnership aims to enhance user experiences across industries such as transportation and consumer goods. LG Electronics Inc., a South Korea-based electronics company, is contributing to this advancement in digital side-window display technology.

Ltd., LUMINEQ Oy, Appotronics Corporation Ltd., Pro Display Limited, Pranos AI Technologies, Tianma Microelectronics.

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.

Tariffs have influenced the digital side-window display market by increasing costs for imported display panels, semiconductors, and electronic components used in advanced automotive glazing systems. These tariffs have impacted automotive OEMs and tier-1 suppliers, particularly in regions such as asia-pacific and europe where display manufacturing and vehicle assembly are concentrated. Higher production costs have slowed adoption in mass-market vehicles, while premium and electric vehicle segments remain more resilient. On the positive side, tariffs are encouraging localized manufacturing, supply chain diversification, and increased investment in regional display production capabilities.
