The display market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $210.55 billion by 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for next generation micro LED displays, rising adoption of AR and VR near eye display technologies, growing investment in smart connected display ecosystems, expansion of automotive digital cockpit and infotainment displays, increasing development of energy efficient and sustainable display solutions. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing adoption of ultra high resolution display panels, rising demand for flexible and foldable display technologies, growing integration of transparent display solutions in commercial applications, expansion of energy efficient display backlighting systems, increasing use of high brightness displays for outdoor digital signage.

The increasing adoption of consumer electronics is expected to propel the growth of the display market going forward. Consumer electronics refer to electronic devices intended for personal or household use, such as smartphones, televisions, laptops, and wearable gadgets. The demand for consumer electronics is rising due to increasing internet penetration, which drives the need for connected devices for communication, entertainment, and smart home applications. Displays support and contribute to consumer electronics by providing visual interfaces that enable users to interact with devices, ensuring clear presentation of information, media content, and touch-based controls in products such as smartphones, TVs, laptops, and smartwatches. For instance, in May 2023, according to the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association, a Japan-based trade association, the total consumer electronic equipment production in Japan reached $209.16 million (¥32,099 million), compared to $164.65 million (¥25,268 million) in May 2022. Therefore, the increasing adoption of consumer electronics is propelling the growth of the display market.

Leading companies operating in the display market are focusing on adopting AR and VR technologies in display solutions, such as on-set virtual production (OSVP) displays, to enhance immersive experiences and streamline production workflows. On-set virtual production (OSVP) displays refer to advanced display technologies in filmmaking and live production environments used to create immersive and realistic virtual backgrounds and environments directly on set. For example, in April 2024, ROE Visual, a China-based digital display technology provider, launched an Obsidian LED display solution, a professional-grade LED display tailored for the film industry. Obsidian offers superb black levels, making it ideal for extended reality (XR) filming. Its mask design expands the panel surface without affecting output quality, and the reinforced frame allows for creating access holes up to 2 meters wide and 2 meters high for equipment like lighting fixtures. Obsidian uses 50% less energy than traditional LED panels at the same brightness (220-watt max/110-watt average), reducing studio costs and extending product life. The indoor panel's IP63 rating ensures surface waterproofing, making it versatile for on-set requirements.
