The increasing adoption of autonomous vehicles is expected to drive the growth of the automotive optical bonding line market. Autonomous vehicles, which use sensors, AI, and control systems to navigate without human intervention, are gaining traction due to their ability to improve traffic efficiency. These vehicles can communicate with each other and traffic systems to optimize routes, reduce congestion, and decrease travel times. Optical bonding enhances the display performance in autonomous vehicles by improving visibility, minimizing reflections, and increasing durability, ensuring reliable operation under various driving conditions. For example, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, a US-based non-profit organization, projected that the number of self-driving vehicles would increase from 3.5 million in 2025 to 4.5 million by 2030. As a result, the rising penetration of autonomous vehicles is fueling the growth of the automotive optical bonding line market.

Leading companies in the automotive optical bonding line market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as precision optical bonding, to improve display performance and durability across various industries. Optical bonding is a process that eliminates internal reflections, prevents condensation, enhances ruggedness, and protects against foreign particle intrusion. For example, in May 2024, Kyocera, a Japan-based technology manufacturer, showcased its advanced optical bonding capabilities at Display Week 2024. One of its standout features is the ability to reduce internal reflection from 13.5% to just 0.2%, offering superior clarity and readability. This technology is supported by expanded ISO 6 clean room facilities, allowing for the precise assembly of sensitive electronic components used in applications such as medical devices, automotive displays, industrial equipment, and consumer wearables.

In March 2025, Ubiqconn Technology, a Taiwan-based industrial computer manufacturer, acquired E3 Displays for $7 million. This strategic acquisition strengthens Ubiqconn's presence in North America and enhances its capabilities in advanced optical bonding and display technologies. The acquisition positions both companies for growth in key industries, including defense, medical, industrial, and transportation. E3 Displays, a US-based company, specializes in high-performance display solutions.
