The global 3D display market was valued at USD 104.69 billion in 2022 and is expected to register a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.0% from 2023 to 2030. Increasing demand for 3D technology designed for gaming industries and home entertainment is among the major factors driving the growth of the 3D display market. The 3D display market is expected to increase significantly during the forecast period owing to the declining prices of electronic devices and the increasing disposable income of individuals globally. The gaming industry has seen significant shifts in the gaming experience, technology, and graphics during the past few years. The industry is moving toward improving the full gaming experience with 3D technology, accelerating 3D display market growth. In addition, rising interest in LED and OLED technologies that offer superior performance and picture quality compared to traditional display technologies is expected to help the overall market.
Companies in the 3D display market are coming up with new technologies for attracting customers enabling them to gain better traction in the market. For instance, in May 2022, Sony Corporation teamed up with Theta Labs, Inc. (U.S. based Software Company) to launch 3D NFTs, with its design will be compatible with the Spatial Reality Device (SRD) technology of Sony Corporation.
The major highlight of the product is its ability to sync an image to be compatible with the user's eye movement for creating 3D effects. The growing incorporation of these displays in various devices such as smartphones, monitors, notebook PC, TVs, and digital photo frames is also in a position to play a vital role in the growth of the 3D display market.
During the initial phase of COVID-19, demand for smartphones, televisions, and similar non-essential consumer electronics witnessed a decline, attributed to consumers' delayed spending on products, which had affected the 3D display market. However, with post lifting of the restrictions, demand for consumer electronic products had increased owing to the online classes and working from home.
Emerging economies involving India and China are expected to experience remarkable growth in the forecast period due to the extended base of the middle-class population and increasing standards of living. Projectors and monitors, amongst the key applications of 3D displays, are anticipated to register a sudden increase in sales shortly due to shifting consumer preferences and rising demand for the high-definition graphics. High cost, combined with a lack of 3D content and health-related issues, including nausea, motion, eye disorders, and headaches, is expected to hinder the 3D display market growth.
However, growing consumer choices and awareness about HD technology resulted in the 3D display market growth. Additionally, the adoption of digital cinema screens can offer a 3D viewing experience and increasing consumer preference toward 3D movies will also drive the development of the 3D display market. Although high price is a factor derailing the wider adoption of the 3D display, as time passes, prices are expected to come down owing to technological advancements and increased purchasing power.
Moreover, major companies in the 3D display market are offering products with additional features, helping the companies to gain traction in the market. The 3D display companies are getting into partnerships/collaborations to share technology for developing new products to gain the upper hand in the 3D display market. Such factors gain lucrative opportunities in the growth of the market.
For instance, in April 2022, Apple Inc. announced its plan to HMD display MR devices mounted with Micro OLED and OLED displays. Such R&D happening in the HMD segment will fuel the growth of the HMD segment of the 3D display market during the forecast period.
The HMD segment of the 3D display market by product is expected to have significant growth in the North American region and other areas. The development of the HMD segment can be attributed to the increase in the use of HMDs in various aspects of life, including military, aviation, engineering, and research. Moreover, companies in the 3D display are coming up with displays with additional features for HMD driving the growth of the HMD segment.
The stereoscopic displays segment of the 3D display market by product is estimated to occupy the largest market share during the forecast period 2023-2030. The growth of the stereoscopic segment can be attributed to high adoption in the gaming and entertainment industries for applications, including academics, movies, animations, and video games, among others. Furthermore, improvements in autostereoscopic technology and lower costs of the stereoscopic products have also contributed to the growth.
The HMD segment is expected to register the highest CAGR exceeding 22.0% during the forecast period 2023-2030, owing to its growing popularity in science, engineering, and medicine. The growth of the HMD segment can also be attributed to quick technological advancements and reduced prices of 3D displays. Moreover, the viewing experience offered by HMD also heavily contributed to the growth of the stereoscopic display segment in the 3D display market.
Based on technology, the market is segmented into DLP, PDP, OLED, and LED. The LED segment accounted for the largest market share accounting for more than 70.0% of the 3D display market in 2022. LED panels are commonly used as backlighting solutions for enhancing image quality and getting a faster response. Several companies in the 3D display market are focused on developing LED-based displays for various applications such as TVs, monitors, smartphones, and HMDs.
The OLED technology segment is expected to record the highest CAGR exceeding 25.0% during the forecast period 2023 to 2030. The growth of OLED can be attributed to rising adoption across several devices and enhanced picture quality and performance as compared to traditional displays. Additionally, increased penetration of OLED in smartphones is another factor that fueled the OLED segment's growth in the 3D display market by technology.
By application, the TV segment of the 3D display market is expected to have the largest revenue in 2022. A large chunk of the growth of the TV segment can be attributed to a shift in consumer preference from going to theatres to being entertained in the comfort of home on TVs or computers, post the COVID-19 pandemic. This change encouraged TV manufacturers to add 3D displays to their product portfolios. These TVs offer a better visualization impact, offering enhanced picture quality. Consumer Electronics Manufacturers (CEMs) are promoting 3D display TVs as high-end devices with premium features driving the growth of the TV segment.
The smartphone sub-segment is also expected to have significant growth exceeding 21.0% in the 3D display market during the forecast period. The change can be attributed to high competition among smartphone vendors to offer better features to gain the smartphone market's upper hand. Moreover, the mobile gaming industry has been coming up with games that require enhanced visual graphics, which has also facilitated the growth of the smartphone segment during the forecast period.
The HMD sub-segment is expected to expand with the highest CAGR from 2023-2030.
