Description

The outdoor LED display market size was valued at USD 7,426.9 million in 2020 and is projected to reach USD 11,863.5 million by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2020 to 2027. Outdoor LED displays are large billboards that show live ads, photos, promotional films, and other content. It's typically seen in open-air and central locations like avenues, malls, parks, and parking lots. A light-emitting diode (LED), a semiconductor chip that generates light of various colors with wavelengths in the visible range, is also used in the displays.

These displays use high brightness LEDs and are extensively used in outdoor applications such as live advertisements, billboards, videos walls, etc. Additionally, outdoor LED displays are designed using dual in-line package (DIP) technology, making them suitable for any weather. The content on the displays is visible from a far-off distance, even during day and night.

Increased preference of LED display advertising over paper or poster-based advertising due to rapid use by sponsors in sports events, entertainment shows, and exhibitions. A rise in sports events & exhibitions, seminars, ceremonies, and other such events using outdoor LED displays drives the market growth. Also, a surge in energy consumption concerns prompts the use of these displays, as it ensures high cost & power saving, making it highly energy efficient.

This fuels market growth. Though, high initial investments and unstable demand are the major factors limiting the market growth. Conversely, alternative advertisement designs and increases in events such as event management, transport, sports, and others are some factors that provide growth opportunities for the market in the upcoming years.

COVID-19 Impact on the Global Outdoor LED Display Market

COVID-19 pandemic has adversely impacted the outdoor LED display market as a huge workforce of enterprises across the globe are working from home. This has led to a decline in advertising expenditure, which, in turn, reduced demand for outdoor LED displays. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has forced fieldwork of several major projects to pause temporarily, the market is expected to remain robust, with a cumulative number of shipments being marginally unaffected in the next three-year period from 2020.

The COVID-19 outbreak has impacted the global outdoor LED display market. New projects have been halted throughout the world, affecting demand in various industries, including manufacturing, industrial, and retail. Although market participants had no difficulty obtaining raw materials, time and transportation costs remained a key problem.

Global Outdoor LED Display Market Dynamics

Drivers: Increased digital advertisements

Companies are switching toward various outdoor media advertising platforms such as billboards, video walls, and other various combinations of unique display designs in the market as outdoor LED display provides unique display designs & customized solutions such as enhancing customer engagement with advanced pixel displays, mobile integration by using QR codes and others. This is a major growth factor for digital advertisers to adopt and implement outdoor LED displays. Moreover, outdoor LED displays offer impact resistance, energy efficiency, and durability in digital advertising due to the rise in interactive media, which is environmentally friendly. This, in turn, fuels the market growth.

Restraints: High installation & initial cost

High cost for manufacturing & procurement of raw materials, which is the initial prerequisite for outdoor LED display, results in an expensive rate for installation & initial cost in the market. In addition, the initial capital cost basis is higher than conventional lighting technologies, thereby limiting the outdoor LED display market growth. Furthermore, even though their operational costs are low, surpassing conventional displays counterparts with a huge difference, the initial high cost of manufacturing and installing outdoor LED displays restrain the market growth.

Opportunities: Alternate LED advertisement designs

The advertising sector requires alternative designs for display, which are effective in terms of both energy and cost. In addition, advertisers can display more than one interactive advertisement, consumer information, and an event’s statistics at a time even with fluctuating data, thus providing enormous opportunities in the fields of sports, event management, transport, and others. As a result, these factors are expected to provide an opportunity to develop and expand the outdoor LED displays market in the upcoming years.

The individually mounted segment is projected to account for the largest market share by type

The outdoor LED display market is bifurcated into surface mounted and individually mounted by type. In 2020, the individually mounted segment accounted for the largest market share of 55.6% in the global outdoor LED display market. Surface-mounted is a type of LED module, which uses surface mounting technology (SMT) to mount LED chips on printed circuit boards (PCB).

An increase in demand for commercial displays and features such as high denser packaging & high production rate with improved brightness are some of the major trends in the market. In addition, the surface-mounted components can be attached on both sides of the PCB, thus favoring the market growth. Furthermore, with lower power consumption, surface-mounted LEDs are widely used in domestic & industrial lighting systems, in personal electronic devices such as LED screens, televisions, projectors, vehicles, and others.
