– Annual TV production capacity of 50,000 → 6 million units will accelerate game changing in the premium TV market

According to the “2025 Micro-LED Display Industry and Technology Trend Report” recently published by Ubi Research, Micro-LED, which is touted as a “game changer” in the next generation display market, is on a full-scale growth trajectory. Global Micro-LED TV production capacity is expected to expand from the 50,000 units per year level in 2023 to approximately 6 million units in 2030, and the Micro-LED market size is expected to reach approximately US$1.3 billion (US$1.342 billion).

 Micro-LED is a self-luminous flat panel display technology with higher brightness, longer life, and better durability than OLED, and has emerged as a next-generation candidate in the premium TV and next-generation wearable device markets. Especially it has a wide range of applications from large displays to ultra-compact AR-VR devices due to its superior color reproducibility and visibility with no burn-in concerns.

 UBI Research analyzes that full-scale commercialization will begin after 2027, coupled with improved production efficiency and reduced manufacturing costs, and that the market will continue to grow at a high average annual rate of more than 50% from 2028 onward.

 The main factors driving market expansion are as follows

  •  Increased demand for premium TVs: Growing consumer preference for ultra‑large, high-resolution products.
  • Expansion of production infrastructure: Large-scale investment in mass production lines and process improvements by major manufacturers.
  •  Diversification of application fields: In addition to TVs, enter new markets such as transparent displays, smart glasses, and wearable devices.
  •  Enhanced price competitiveness: Expansion of consumer accessibility through mass production stabilization and cost reduction.

 Joohan Kim, an analyst at UBi Research, pointed out that “the key to Micro-LED proliferation is a stable supply of epi wafers. He added, “Large-scale MOCVD orders are expected to continue after 2026, and wafer production volume is expected to expand to 10 times the current level by 2030,” and “Such stabilization of material supply will support the mass production system of Micro-LED, strengthen price competitiveness, and accelerate market expansion. He added.

 Analyst Kim, Joohan added, “By 2030, the Micro-LED TV market will not only change the competitive landscape of the premium TV market but also affect the profit structure of the forward industry in general,” and “in particular, it will create new growth opportunities in the overall value chain.”

 More specific market outlooks and industry-specific ripple effects will be presented at the “Display Strategy Seminar for 2026 Readiness” to be held on September 5.
