The global market for LED displays continued to grow in Q1, according to Omdia. Growth is fueled by government initiatives and rising adoption in sectors like corporate, where LED is gaining over LCD.
In the first quarter of 2025, 408,000 square meters of LED video displays were shipped worldwide, marking a 6.2% increase compared to the same period last year.
According to market research firm Omdia’s latest LED Video Displays Market Tracker, sales reached $1.3 billion, up 4.3%. This growth was mainly driven by the rising use of LED displays in cinemas, education, and corporate settings.
“The first quarter of 2025 confirmed that the LED video display market is evolving beyond traditional applications,” said Cindy Liu , Senior Analyst at Omdia. “With advances in pixel pitch technology and micro-LED, adoption is widening across multiple industries.”
Displays with a fine pixel pitch (FPP) – defined by Omdia as 1.99 millimeters or less – led the market in Q1 2025. This segment saw an 8.1% increase in sales year-over-year and accounted for 55.4% of the total market. Displays with a pixel pitch between 1.50 and 1.99 millimeters grew even more, up 11.1%, driven by strong demand for all-in-one screens used in corporate settings, conference rooms, and digital-out-of-home.
Governments Drive Growth
During the review period, Asia and Oceania had the highest share of sales in the FPP segment at 15.6%, behind only China and North America. In the 1.50 to 1.99 millimeter pixel pitch range, the region led globally with a 20.2% market share. Government-led smart city and infrastructure programs in countries like India, Indonesia, and Singapore are contributing to this growth.
In the Middle East and Africa, similar trends are emerging. Governments are investing in smart city initiatives such as Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the UAE’s Smart Dubai, boosting demand for LED displays in public spaces.
In Latin America, the outlook remains positive due to growing demand for DooH, upgrades to sports venues, and expansion in the retail and banking sectors. Preparations for events like the Copa América and the 2030 FIFA World Cup are also driving the use of LED video displays in stadiums, transportation hubs, and public areas.
