Microdisplay Companies

The global microdisplay market size is expected to grow from USD 1.65 billion in 2025 to USD  5.33 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 26.4% during the forecast period from 2025 to 2030. Growth is primarily driven by the rising adoption of near-to-eye devices such as augmented reality (AR) & virtual reality (VR) headsets, smart glasses, and helmet-mounted displays, where compact size, high resolution, low power consumption, and enhanced brightness are critical. Continuous advancements in OLED, LCoS, and microLED technologies are improving pixel density, efficiency, and visual performance, enabling more immersive and reliable near-to-eye experiences. The increasing use of AR/VR for gaming, training, enterprise solutions, and defense applications, coupled with growing investment in miniaturization and cost-efficient manufacturing processes, is expected to accelerate the adoption of NTE-focused microdisplays and drive market expansion over the coming years.

The microdisplay market features major players, such as Sony Group Corporation (Japan), Seiko Epson Corporation (Japan), Kopin Corporation (US), SeeYA Technology (China), and eMagin (US). These players have incorporated various organic and inorganic growth strategies, including product launches, collaborations, partnerships, contracts, and acquisitions, to strengthen their international footprint and capture a greater share of the microdisplay market.
