What Are the Future Growth Projections for the Screenless Display Market?
The screenless display market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• The market size for screenless displays is forecasted to witness a rapid surge in the coming years, reaching $17.15 billion by 2029 with a 28.4% compound annual growth rate (CAGR). This projected growth can be credited to several factors including an increased liking for portable and wearable devices among consumers, a growing demand for compact solutions, a rise in consumer predilection for luxury and high-end cars, an escalating need for engaging user experiences, and a developing focus on eco-friendly technology. The forecast period is marked by significant trends such as advancements in holography, progress in direct retinal projection technology, improvements in AI-driven gesture recognition, the rise of BCI technologies, and the onset of augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR) projections.
What Are The Core Factors Supporting Growth In The Screenless Display Market?
The surge in the utilization of smartphones and consumer electronics is anticipated to fuel the expansion of the screenless display market in the future. Smartphones and consumer electronics, which include portable and domestic devices facilitating communication, amusement, and daily comfort, are on the rise, thanks to factors including the boost in internet connectivity, the surge in digitalization, the expansion of remote working options, and the increase in e-learning. The continual adoption of smartphones and consumer electronics, enabled by the inclusion of voice assistants and artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled interfaces, is pacing the growth of the screenless product line. As users transition to hands-free interactivity, the need for screenless technology is on the upswing. For example, in February 2024, Uswitch Limited, a financial conduct authority located in the UK, reported that at the start of 2022, the UK had 71.8 million mobile links, surpassing their total populace by 4.2 million. This demonstrates a 3.8% growth from 2021. Fast forward to 2025, the UK's populace is expected to hit 68.3 million, with roughly 95% (or about 65 million people) predicted to own smartphones. Ergo, the surge in the adoption of smartphones and consumer electronics is accelerating the expansion of the screenless display marketplace.

Which Emerging Market Trends Are Altering The Screenless Display Industry?
Major companies operating in the screenless display market are focusing on developing advanced technology, such as miniaturized light-emitting diode (LED) light engines, to enhance display efficiency. A miniaturized LED light engine is a compact optical module that generates high-quality light for displays, enabling lightweight and small-form-factor devices such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) headsets. For instance, in May 2023, Dispelix Oy, a Finland-based developer of see-through waveguides for extended reality (XR), partnered with Avegant Corporation, a US-based company specializing in miniaturized LED light engines, to launch an augmented reality (AR) reference display module. This module features the Dispelix Selvä, a thin, lightweight, and bright LED waveguide combiner that delivers high visual quality while resembling the form factor of regular glasses. It is paired with the Avegant AG-30L2 light engine, a compact LED light engine that is significantly smaller than previous models. Together, these components enable the creation of true glasses-like AR products. The combination of a compact design and high-performance features sets a new standard for visual excellence and user comfort in everyday wearable augmented reality glasses.
