Center stack display market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 11.8% during the forecast period (2023-2030). Globally, the demand for center stack displays (CSD) is growing, owing to factors including the growing consumer demand for enhanced connectivity and advanced infotainment features in vehicles. With such growing demand, automakers are increasingly integrating advanced CSDs into the center stack of dashboards to meet the demand for applications such as continuous navigation, entertainment, and vehicle control systems. Additionally, the growing popularity of electric and autonomous vehicles, along with the focus on smart mobility solutions, has further contributed to the adoption of CSDs, making them important to the evolving automotive industry's tech-centric landscape. 

Segmental Outlook 

The global center stack display market is segmented by vehicle, technology, and display technology. By vehicle, the market is sub-segmented into passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles. By technology, the market is sub-segmented into touchscreen display and non-touchscreen display. By display technology, the market is sub-segmented into Light-Emitting Diode (LED) and Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED). Among the vehicles, the demand for the central stack display market is expected to grow significantly in passenger vehicles owing to factors such as the growing production of passenger vehicles globally, growing demand for advanced infotainment systems, and technological advancements with a focus on safety enhancements among others. For instance, as per the draft proposal of the government of India in October 2023, the Road Transport Ministry submitted two mandates, to improve vehicle and passenger safety both in OEM-build and coach-build buses in the country. Under this mandate, the government proposed the installation of indirect vision devices in the vehicle to improve safety. This device will project clear and real-time video to the central stack display of the vehicle helping the driver to drive safely. 

Commercial Vehicle Contribute the Highest to the Global Center Stack Display Industry

The commercial vehicle market contributes the highest in the global center stack display market and is expected to grow significantly in the forecast period owing to factors such as growing commercial vehicle production, increasing demand for infotainment and connectivity, growing demand for smartphone integration, and increasing focus on safety regulations among others. According to the data from the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), the total production of cars has increased from 57 million units in 2021 to 61.6 million units in 2022. Also, growing demand for digitization in automobiles, automakers are increasingly collaborating with market players mainly for technological developments. For instance, in April 2023, Hyundai Mobis announced the development of a roll able display for vehicles. According to the company, the display disappears when the engine is turned off and rolls up and down depending on driving conditions. As the overall sales of commercial vehicles are growing, the demand for center stack displays is expected to grow in the forecast period.
