According to our latest market study on "Automotive HUD Market Forecast to 2028 - COVID-19 Impact and Global Analysis - by Type, Technology, and Vehicle Type," the market is projected to reach US$ 3,311.73 million by 2028 from US$ 1,116.69 million in 2021; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 17.7 % from 2022 to 2028.

With increasing concerns about automobile safety and the rising number of road accidents causing fatalities worldwide, regulatory authorities are prioritizing efforts to improve vehicle safety. According to the Global Status Report published in 2018, over 1.35 million people die in road accidents annually, and road traffic injuries are projected to become the world's fifth-largest cause of death by 2030. Driver distraction is a major contributing factor to these accidents. The National Center for Statistics and Analysis (NCSA) reports that in the US alone, approximately 9 people are killed and over 1,000 are injured daily in crashes. To address this issue, the use of head-up displays (HUDs) can help prevent accidents caused by driver distraction while driving by monitoring and alerting drivers of their behavior.

Traditional instrument clusters require drivers to redirect their gaze from the road to check important information, such as speed and navigation, leading to visual acclimation delays and potential eye strain. This process takes at least half a second and can be tiring to the eyes with frequent glances. In contrast, HUDs are positioned directly in front of the driver's eyes and display essential information in the driver's line of sight, eliminating the need to shift focus from the road. As a result, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are increasingly incorporating HUDs into their vehicles, driving the growth of the automotive head-up displays market. So, HUDs offer several advantages in improving road safety and addressing the issue of driver distraction while driving. Let me know if there is anything more you want to know about it.

The automotive HUD market is poised for significant growth with the advent of augmented reality head-up displays (AR HUD). Unlike traditional Windshield Reflection Type and Combiner Type HUDs, AR HUDs offer a wider field-of-view, longer display distance, enhanced display colors, and higher resolution. However, the most significant advancement is the incorporation of AR capabilities, which take the basic positioning of HUD information to a whole new level. AR HUDs provide intuitive and exclusive data such as lane turns, navigation routes, and distance from the front vehicle, making driving information more comprehensive and user-friendly for drivers. This breakthrough in HUD technology is expected to drive the automotive HUD market to unprecedented heights. So, AR HUDs are revolutionizing the way drivers receive information, providing an enhanced driving experience. The improved display range and augmented reality features make AR HUDs a game-changer in the field of automotive displays. With AR technology, HUDs now offer more intuitive and comprehensive information to drivers, enabling safer and more informed driving.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Automotive HUD Market

North America is known for its rapid adoption of advanced technologies, driven by favorable government policies to boost the automotive sector. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a detrimental impact on the region's economy, including the automotive industry. The US government imposed limitations on industrial, commercial, and public activities to contain the spread of the virus, resulting in a deep cyclic crisis for the automobile industry. The automotive HUD market in North America has also been severely impacted as manufacturers faced challenges in production and assembly, and consumers experienced reduced buying power.

Estimates show that vehicle demand in North America was significantly lower in 2020, with over 2.5 million units fewer compared to 2019. In April 2020, only around 4,300 automobiles were produced in the US. This decline in automotive manufacturing and demand has had a ripple effect on every segment of the automotive HUD market in North America, including production logistics, finished automobiles, and the aftermarket. Initially, automobile plants in the US Midwest and California continued to operate in the first quarter of 2020, but later faced shutdowns due to the severe spread of the coronavirus. Additionally, plants of major automakers such as FCA, Honda, Hyundai, and Toyota in Canada suspended their operations in early 2020 due to the pandemic.

Key Findings of Study

The global automotive HUD market is segmented based on type, technology, vehicle type, and geography. Based on type, the automotive HUD market is bifurcated as combiner HUD and windshield HUD. In 2021, the windshield HUD segment led the automotive HUD market with a larger market share. Based on the technology, the automotive HUD market is segmented into conventional HUD and augmented reality HUD. In 2021, the conventional HUD segment led the automotive HUD market and accounted for a larger of the automotive HUD market. Based on vehicle type, the market is segmented into passenger cars, light commercial vehicles (LCVs), and heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs). In 2021, the passenger cars segment led the Automotive HUD market and accounted for the largest market share. Geographically, the automotive HUD market is divided into five regions-North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East & Africa, and South America. Asia Pacific dominated the overall market in 2021. North America contributed to the second-largest share of the automotive HUD market in 2021, followed by Europe.
