Head-up Display Market to Approach $8 Billion by 2022

October 23, 2017

WELLESLEY, Mass., October 23, 2017 – Augmented reality and its applications are prompting a paradigm shift in the market for head-up displays, where the market is expected to grow by 24.4% annually through 2022. Led by sales in projection units as well as computers, the worldwide market could approach $8 billion by 2022, according to an industry report by BCC Research.

Head-up displays have been widely used in the military and aerospace industries since the post-World War II era, and in the defense and avionics industries, head-up displays reached saturation levels. However, the use of head-up displays in luxury cars and airplanes has prompted a resurgence of the industry, and growth is being helped by a shift in aircraft head-up displays from LED-based projection to laser-based projection.

Growth of head-up displays in the aviation industry is projected to average 23.4% annually through 2022, when its value will top $4 billion. For the automobile industry, growth is forecast to exceed 26% annually through 2022, according to the report Head-up Displays: Technologies and Global Markets.

Leaders in the field include Alphabet, Audi, BAE, BMW, Bosch, Daimler, General Motors, Harman International Industries, Honeywell Aerospace, Panasonic, Saab Group, Toshiba and Toyota.
