Head-Up Display Market
Dublin, Dec. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Head-up Display (HUD) Market by Combiner HUD, Windshield HUD, Wearable HUD, Augmented Reality (AR) HUD, Conventional HUD, Display Unit, Video Generator/Processing Unit, and Projector/ Projection Unit – Global Forecast to 2030” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The global head-up display (HUD) market is estimated to grow from USD 4.20 billion in 2025 to USD 7.34 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 11.8% during this period. This growth is driven by the increasing demand for advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) that enhance situational awareness. The integration of augmented reality (AR) technologies and connected solutions enrich navigation and bolster real-time hazard detection, further propelling market expansion.
Projectors/Projection Units Dominance in 2024
The projectors/projection units segment led the market in 2024, being the pivotal component for generating and projecting visual data onto windshields or combiners. Its crucial role in ensuring clarity, brightness, and resolution makes it indispensable across all HUD types. With the increase in demand for sophisticated driver-assistance features, projection units are being optimized with higher brightness, broader fields of view, and compact designs to accommodate various vehicle models. Advances like laser-based and microLED projections enhance efficiency and durability, cementing their preference for automakers. The indispensability of projection units across vehicle categories solidifies their top position in the market in 2024.
Automotive Sector Growth
The automotive segment is forecasted to experience the highest CAGR from 2025 to 2030, driven by the swift adoption of HUDs across various vehicle segments, including mid-range and electric models. Increasing consumer interest in advanced safety, real-time navigation, and immersive vehicular experiences encourages automakers to integrate HUDs into their offerings. The broadening use of AR HUDs and advancements in compact, cost-effective projection technologies make the systems more accessible beyond luxury vehicles. The global momentum toward connected and autonomous vehicle ecosystems further underlines HUDs as key human-machine interfaces, boosting their growth in the automotive domain.
India as a Growth Engine
India is projected to record the highest CAGR in the Asia Pacific and global HUD markets from 2025 to 2030. The country’s thriving automotive industry, supported by rising passenger and commercial vehicle production, and a shift toward electric mobility, facilitates this growth. Increasing disposable income and consumer preference for premium vehicles drive the adoption of advanced in-vehicle technologies, including HUDs. Government initiatives promoting road safety and ADAS integration also play a vital role, enhancing HUD deployment across vehicle categories.
An expanding base of tech-savvy consumers keen on improved driving and navigation experiences further augments market growth. Combined demand-side and regulatory factors position India as a pivotal growth area within the Asia Pacific and global markets.
