The global multi-function display market size reached USD 19.3 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 38.1 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.43% during 2025-2033. Continual technological advancements in system efficiency and automation, an increase in the number of ground control stations, and the rising demand for aircrafts with superior features, represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Multi-function displays (MFDs) are small devices with screens that usually consist of a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) or a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and can display information to the user by means of various soft keys surrounding the display. Multi-function displays allow a driver to view several parameters on the dashboard at the same time, which helps in enhancing the overall handling of the vehicle. In addition to receiving video inputs directly from video sensors, such as forward looking infrared (FLIR) sensor, cameras, radar, and weapons, and they can also communicate with external systems via signals. Additionally, MFD also provides a high-resolution display and real-time computing solution for rugged military applications requiring high performance computing. MFDs use various technologies, such as LEDs, AMLCDs, and Synthetic Vision systems, with additional features like anti-reflectivity, and dual-mode backlight providing sunlight readability. These displays are commonly used in cars in the driver's direct line of sight as well as on multi-function map displays in glass cockpits on aircraft.

Multi-function Display Market Trends:

The rising number of heads-up display (HUD), electronic flight display, head mounted display (HMD), and portable multi-function display installations is a significant factor driving the market. This can be attributed to the continual technological advancements in system efficiency and automation in numerous end-use industries. In addition to this, considerable growth in the IT and ITES sector is also creating lucrative growth opportunities in the market. Moreover, an increase in the number of ground control stations on the global level is propelling the demand for MFDs. Besides this, the escalating demand for improved components of glass cockpit and advanced primary flight display (PFD) in aircraft is also acting as a significant growth-inducing factor for the market. The market is further fueled by the increasing adoption of micro display technology in the automotive industry. Apart from this, favorable initiatives undertaken by the government bodies of several countries for the development of smart cities facilitating LED-based lighting retrofit projects are fueling the market growth. Furthermore, numerous innovations in the advanced sensor systems and capacitive touch screen panels, along with an increased uptake of smart devices, are creating a positive outlook for the market. Some of the other factors contributing to the market include significant growth in the aviation industry, considerable rise in the demand for surveillance devices, rapid urbanization and industrialization, and extensive research and development (R&D) activities conducted by the key players.
