Near-Eye Display Market Demand, Leading Players, Analysis, Forecast 2025-2032

نشر بتاريخ 2025-07-25 12:47:30

Near-Eye Display Market size was valued at US $ 3.08 Billion in 2024 and the total Market revenue is expected to grow at 25 % through 2025 to 2032, reaching nearly US $ 18.40 Billion

Market Definition & Estimation

Near‑eye displays (NEDs) are visual technologies positioned in close proximity to the user’s eyes—used in devices such as smart glasses, augmented reality (AR) headsets, and virtual reality (VR) head-mounted displays (HMDs). These systems deliver digital information directly into the user’s field of view via optical combiners, waveguides, or microdisplays. NEDs enable immersive, hands-free visual experiences across entertainment, productivity, medical training, and industrial operations.

In 2025, the market is estimated at USD 2.17 billion, expanding to USD 6.65 billion by 2030, driven by convergence of display innovation, AI integration, and broader AR/VR adoption.
