Cockpit Display Market Analysis

Based on display size, the market is divided into less than 5 inches, 5 inches to 10 inches, and greater than 10 inches. The less than 5 inches display size segment is expected to register a CAGR of over 6.9% during the forecast period.

• In aircraft, this display size is usually utilized for auxiliary purposes. These compact displays are necessary to communicate additional data including backup instrumentation, secondary navigation data, or system monitoring. Despite their small size, they are crucial for providing pilots with vital data clearly, assisting decision-making during flight.
  
• In this segment, MFDs combine multiple flight information onto a single screen, while control panels act as interfaces for individual aircraft systems. Their compact size makes these displays suited for smaller aircraft, helicopters, or as a secondary display in bigger cockpits. They maximize space use while guaranteeing that pilots can easily access critical information.
  

Based on display type, the market is divided into driver-assist display and mission display. The driver-assist display segment dominated the global market with a share of over 58% in 2023.

• Driver-assist displays are essential for improving aircraft control and the pilot’s situational awareness. These displays offer real-time data, alarms, and visual cues to enhance decision-making during aircraft or vehicle operations. Terrain awareness and warning systems (TAWS) are crucial in displaying terrain features and providing alerts to prevent controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) accidents.
  
• Similarly, traffic collision avoidance systems (TCAS) ensure safe navigation, particularly in crowded airspace, by displaying neighboring aircraft and vehicles, further alerting pilots and drivers to potential collision risks.
  

North America dominated the global cockpit display market in 2023, accounting for a share of over 33%. As North America is leading the global automobile and aviation industries, the regional market for cockpit displays is also strong. The region is witnessing constant investments in automotive and aerospace R&D and manufacturing owing to its high concentration of commercial vehicle manufacturers, aircraft manufacturers, airlines, and technological innovators. This market benefits from a mature aerospace ecosystem, advanced infrastructure, and a strong regulatory framework that promotes innovation and safety. Furthermore, the fleet mix of North America’s aviation industry is diverse, encompassing both military and commercial aircraft, which fuels the demand for a broad range of cockpit display options.
