Analyst Perspective:
The Micro-LED market has witnessed significant growth in recent years, driven by technological advancements and the huge adoption of displays among various end users such as consumer electronics, aerospace & defense, entertainment and sports, automotive and others, driving the Micro-LED market growth. Growing adoption of Micro-LED displays in smartphones and an increasing need for brighter and power-efficient display panels are anticipated to drive the Micro-LED market growth over the forecast period. Moreover, the rapid adoption of wearable devices amongst consumers is influencing Micro-LEDs adoption in a big way. In addition, the Micro-LED market witnessed a sharp increase in demand for brighter and more energy-efficient display panels for devices such as smartwatches, TVs, laptops, mobile phones, and AR and VR devices.
According to Enterprise Apps Today, in 2016, half of the world’s population had smartphones, which has increased to nearly 85% of the population owning smartphones. Companies shipped 1.43 billion smartphones worldwide, reaching US$409 billion worldwide. In recent years, smartphone sales reached 1.5 billion smartphones yearly. Such an increase in the sale of smartphones increases the need for HD displays and hence contributes to the Micro-LED market growth.
However, the Micro-LED technology is at an early and developing stage. Key Micro-LED market players such as Sony Corporation, SAMSUNG, LG Electronics and others were engaged in offering ultra-large microLED TVs and other premium devices. Micro-LED market players were increasingly engaging themselves to produce Micro-LED microdisplays and are trying to gain a significant market share in the near future.
Micro-LED Market Overview:
Micro-LED is a display technology based on Micro-LED devices that directly generate color pixels. Micro-LEDs are also known as mLED or μLED. These LEDs utilize inorganic materials such as Gallium Nitrate and others, which do not need backlight for their operation and are self-emitting. Micro-LEDs are used for various applications such as smart watches, wearable handsets, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) products, smartphones, 8K UHD televisions, laptops and tablets, large video displays and many others. Micro-LED provides various benefits, such as superior image quality, energy efficiency, and greater durability. There are various benefits of using microLED displays, and Micro-LEDs offer superior image quality, microLED displays achieve brighter whites, deeper blacks, and more vibrant colors than traditional displays because each LED can be controlled independently. Also, microLED displays can be made much thinner than traditional displays because each LED is so small, making them ideal for smartphone devices and other applications where space is critical. Micro-LEDs provide a wide color gamut, low power consumption, high luminance, wide view angle, fast refresh rate, excellent stability and long lifetime, high dynamic range, high contrast, transparency, seamless connection, and sensor integration capability.
Micro-LED Market Driver:
Growing Adoption of Brighter and Power-Efficient Display Panels to Drive Growth of the Micro-LED Market
Brighter and power-efficient displays are becoming increasingly popular among consumers due to their widespread applications in tablets, desktops, televisions, projectors and other devices. Nowadays, micro-LEDs have emerged as an effective solution for consumers requiring brighter and power-efficient displays. Micro-LED displays utilize self-emissive red, blue, and green sub-pixels; hence, they do not require a color filter. This display technology offers OLED-level contrast and dynamic range using inorganic rather than organic LEDs. Micro-LED displays offer up to 10 times more brightness when compared to an OLED panel and are more power efficient, making it idle for smartphones, wearables and other devices. In recent years, most manufacturers are also leveraging the benefits of Micro-LED displays to achieve color conversion. For instance, in June 2023, Mojo Vision, the high-performance micro-LED company, announced the launch of the highest-density (14K ppi) red micro-LED microdisplay. Mojo Vision used their proprietary Quantum Dot (QD) process to display visually vibrant, red micro-LEDs, measuring 1.37um in diameter and set on a 1.87um pitch. In addition, with the adoption of quantum dot color conversion films, Micro-LED displays are expected to offer the best color accuracy and efficiency, making them a promising technology for displays in the near future. Micro-LEDs have the potential to become the next-generation technology and are revolutionizing the TV and display industry. Thus, the growing adoption of brighter and power-efficient display panels drives the Micro-LED market growth.

Aggregation of sales statistics (2020-2022) and macro-economic factor, and other secondary and primary research insights are utilized to arrive at base number and related market shares for 2022. The data gaps are identified in this step and relevant market data is analyzed, collected from paid primary interviews or databases. On finalizing the base year market size, forecasts are developed on the basis of macro-economic, industry and market growth factors and company level analysis.
- Data Triangulation and Final Review:
The market findings and base year market size calculations are validated from supply as well as demand side. Demand side validations are based on macro-economic factor analysis and benchmarks for respective regions and countries. In case of supply side validations, revenues of major companies are estimated (in case not available) based on industry benchmark, approximate number of employees, product portfolio, and primary interviews revenues are gathered. Further revenue from target product/service segment is assessed to avoid overshooting of market statistics. In case of heavy deviations between supply and demand side values, all thes steps are repeated to achieve synchronization.
We follow an iterative model, wherein we share our research findings with Subject Matter Experts (SME’s) and Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) until consensus view of the market is not formulated – this model negates any drastic deviation in the opinions of experts. Only validated and universally acceptable research findings are quoted in our reports.
We have important check points that we use to validate our research findings – which we call – data triangulation, where we validate the information, we generate from secondary sources with primary interviews and then we re-validate with our internal data bases and Subject matter experts. This comprehensive model enables us to deliver high quality, reliable data in shortest possible time.
