Automotive displays are increasing in volume and in size. IHS forecasts global shipments for automobile display components overall to grow at a CAGR of more than 6 percent to 170.6 million units by the end of 2021. According to the Automotive Display Market Tracker H2 2015 from IHS, at least two TFT-LCD or AMOLED displays will be in all new cars produced in 2021.
By 2021 automotive displays 7.0-inches and larger are forecasted to reach 33.5 million units, growing at a CAGR of nearly 10 percent, largely driven by the 8.0-inch size class. “Automotive display sizes are growing quickly to help support multiple infotainment, safety and vehicle system functions that require more screen real estate to inform drivers and passengers,” said Hiroshi Hayase, director for small medium display at IHS Technology. “Vehicles are designed with displays in mind, combining digital clusters, HUDs and center stack displays for a truly immersive experience for the driver.”
Increasing demand for infotainment functions, safety systems and vehicle electrification have persuaded OEMs to consider larger, more complex displays in the center stack, instrument cluster and other applications. Global shipments for instrument cluster displays are shifting from 3.0-inch and 4.0-inch to more than 5.0-inches, and center stack displays are shifting to 7.0-inches and larger. Center stack displays between 8.0-inches and 10.0-inches are already common among high-end vehicles and luxury brands, and they are even being introduced in high-volume vehicles, like D-segment sedans and crossovers.
Aftermarket applications for automotive displays also continue to grow, with high demand for aftermarket navigation systems and radios in China, Russia, and Brazil. These numbers also impact global automotive display shipments.
