Automotive Display Premiumization Accelerates… Mini-LED and OLED Revenue Share Expected to Exceed 10% in 2026, Expanding Further by 2030

/in , /by

As the adoption of electric vehicles and the transition to software-defined vehicles (SDVs) gain momentum, automotive displays are rapidly being elevated from simple information panels to core components that shape user experience (UX) and enable brand differentiation. Amid this shift, the adoption of Mini-LED—capable of delivering both premium image quality and high readability—is expanding, with clear growth trends emerging across shipment volume and key market indicators.

According to UBI Research’s “2025–2026 Automotive Display Technology and Industry Trend Analysis Update Report,” shipments of automotive Mini-LED displays totaled approximately 4.5 million units in 2024 and are expected to increase to around 6.75 million units in 2025. The key drivers behind this demand are rising requirements for high brightness, enhanced readability, and high contrast, as applications expand to larger center information displays (CIDs), center displays, panoramic displays, and integrated screen configurations.

From a technology perspective, Mini-LED is considered an attractive option for automakers because it maintains an LCD-based structure while enabling premium image quality through local dimming, making it easier to secure both performance and supply stability. As a result, its influence within the market is expected to grow. The revenue share of Mini-LED displays is projected to increase from around 3.0% in 2024 to surpass 10% for the first time in 2026, and to exceed 20% from 2030 onward.

In addition to Mini-LED, OLED is also showing strong growth momentum. Automotive OLED display shipments are projected to reach approximately 4.5 million units in 2025, and in the mid- to long-term are expected to form an annual market of around 13 million units by 2030. As a self-emissive technology, OLED delivers deep blacks and high contrast, making it advantageous for enhancing premium UI readability and overall visual quality. In terms of design, adoption is expanding primarily in high-end vehicles. OLED’s revenue share is forecast to exceed 10% in 2026 and expand to approximately 17% by 2030.

Changwook Han, Executive Vice President at UBI Research, stated, “Recently, automakers have been redefining the vehicle interior as a ‘brand experience space,’ and as competition intensifies in premiumization, display specification upgrades are becoming the most direct means of differentiation.” He added, “As demand grows for premium image-quality elements such as high brightness, high contrast, and wide color reproduction, both Mini-LED and OLED are benefiting from expanding adoption. Mini-LED is increasingly adopted for readability and stable mass-production applicability in large-area screens, while OLED is expanding primarily for premium emotional appeal and design differentiation.”
