Market Overview

The global mini LED display market size was valued at USD 4 million in 2021. It is expected to be valued at USD 1,244 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 88% during the forecast period (2022–2030). 

The light from mini light-emitting diode (LED) displays comes from tiny LEDs. The roots of the new mini LED technology can be found in the old backlit LCD technology. This technology uses thousands of tiny LED backlights instead of a single large or several smaller backlights that are dimmed locally. This makes the local dimming much better. There is no limit to the size or number of backlights in a mini LED panel, so it can be as small or as big as you want. But they are still limited by the size of the LCD matrix, which turns the white backlight into different colors.

One of the most important things driving the growth of the mini LED display market is the growing need for mini LED backlights in the electronics industry. The mini LED backlight for displays is getting a lot of attention in the consumer electronics market because big names like LG, Samsung, AUO, and others are planning to release products with this technology. AUO has released a line of displays with mini LED backlight technology. These displays include large monitors, desktop monitors, laptops, and even high-end applications like VR headsets and smart cars.


Market Dynamics

Drivers: Increased Demand for Mini LED Backlights in the Electronics Industry

Mini LED backlight for displays is getting a lot of attention in the electronics market, and big names in consumer electronics like LG, Samsung, AUO, and others are planning to release products with mini LED technology. AUO has released a line of displays with mini LED backlight technology. These include large monitors, desktop monitors, laptops, and high-end applications like VR headsets and smart vehicles. These projects help take advantage of new growth opportunities for mini LED display technology. Also, many players in the LED supply chain are now actively looking for ways to use mini and micro-LED technologies.

Drivers: Growing Adoption of Smartphones

The mini LED display market is expected to grow because more people are using smartphones, and its many features are becoming part of their daily lives. For example, Xiaomi and other top phone makers plan to put mini LED technology in their next phones. The most important benefits of mini LED displays are that they use less energy, have more color-reduction power, are brighter, have a higher contrast ratio, use less power, are less likely to burn in than OLED displays, and have the same thickness as OLED displays. The mini LED display market is growing with such developments in the mobile display market.

Drivers: Widescale Adoption of Mini LED Displays in the Automotive Industry

In the next few years, mini LED displays are expected to become more widespread in automotive applications. Mini LED technology has been used as the backlight for automotive displays like HUDs, dashboards, in-car infotainment systems, and rear-view mirror displays. Some LED makers also showed ideas for how mini LED technology could be used to light the outside of cars. Several top automotive manufacturers also use HDR and local dimming technologies in their vehicle displays to make them brighter and have better contrast ratios.

Restraint: High Cost Associated with the Mini LED Displays

The cost of mini LED parts like LED chips, PCB backplanes, and driver ICs is a big part of how much it costs to make the whole device. The price of mini LED displays goes up because of the costs of these parts and the technologies needed to make them, such as testing, sorting, and SMT. Also, the cost of making mini LED backlight displays is currently higher than that of traditional LCD and OLED displays. This is likely to slow the growth of the mini LED display market.

What Are Future Growth Opportunities in Global Mini LED Display Market 

  • Increased Investments in Mini LED Display Technologies in Asia-Pacific

Some of the biggest companies have put money into display technologies to make room for new ones like mini LED display technology. For example, Dicolor invested an extra USD 146.28 million to build a mini LED display production center in Chuzhou. Focus Lightings planned to invest USD 511.99 million to increase the number of mini LED chips it could make.

Epistar, a company that makes LED chips in Taiwan, has also raised its capital spending to more than USD 200.6 million. About 90% of the money spent on capital is used to increase the number of mini LEDs that can be made. Most of the money is spent on buying new facilities. During the forecast period, the mini LED display market is expected to have a lot of growth opportunities due to high investments from the top players and rising demand for mini LED technologies.

Regional Analysis

The global mini LED display market share is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and LAMEA.

Asia-Pacific Surpasses the Rest of the World

Asia-Pacific is expected to be the largest region in terms of revenue generation and manufacturing capability, growing at a CAGR of 91% during the forecast period. This is because it has a large population, many leading manufacturers, and a high demand for display technologies. As LED TVs become more popular, new market opportunities are opening up. Additionally, the strong semiconductor industry in Asia-Pacific will give the market more chances to grow.

The European region is anticipated to earn a whopping revenue of USD 1,742 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 86%. Due to the rising popularity of smart TVs in Europe, the mini LED display market is expected to grow swiftly. The European market has immense possibilities for growth because more people are using new technologies. The display industry is getting huge investments. Germany has the biggest market share of all the European countries. This is because the government has taken action in the form of subsidiaries, acquisitions of smaller companies, and a rise in the use of mini LED.

North America gets a big chunk of the market's income through major economies like the US and Canada. The mini LED display market is also expected to grow because more TVs and video games are using mini LED displays. North America is a leader in the mini LED display market because consumer electronics companies buy many new, innovative products. The mini LED display market is also expected to grow because there are wealthy customers, corporate offices, retail chains, and strict rules about energy efficiency in the North American region.

Mini LED displays are expected to be more widely used in LAMEA due to the rising demand for cutting-edge technology. LAMEA is made up of developing nations, which have lots of room to acquire cutting-edge technologies. Numerous industries have lately been established in the area. Nonetheless, a hurdle for the market is the shortage of competent workers.

  • Impact of covid-19

    Covid-19 had some profound adverse impacts on the global advanced ceramics market.

    COVID-19 spread across the world from China, making the whole world stand still and to a complete lockdown situation. Covid-19 is an infectious disease that was caused by a newly discovered coronavirus. During the time, the fatality rate among the population above 40 was also high globally. The disease causes severe illness for people suffering from medical conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory disease, etc.

    Considering the situation during that time, it was declared a pandemic which led to numerous countries, including the major economies like China, the United States, India, and others, implementing lockdowns which adversely affected the global economy.

    In the first two quarters of 2020, the economic and industrial operations temporarily halted. Almost every manufacturing unit where advanced ceramics is used, such as electrical and electronics, transportation, industrial, chemical, and other End-user Industries (except medical), reduced their manufacturing capacities due to the lack of workers. The lockdown implemented put a halt to global supply chains. This resulted in repercussions in terms of both production and demand for advanced ceramics.

    Market Recovery Timeline and Challenges

    With time the lockdowns were uplifted, and relaxation was made to the public. Gradually, the economy picked up the pace and started its operations, bringing the demand in the global advanced ceramics market and increasing among various industries. As the situation improved during the initial months of 2021, the economies also strengthened their fiscal policies and initiated their development process; the end-user industries began their activities, bringing the overall ceramics market back on track.
