Notably, in February 2023, the UK's Office of Communications reported a significant rise in mobile connections to 71.8 million at the beginning of 2022, marking a 3.8% increase from the previous year. The projection that 65 million out of the UK's 68.3 million population will own smartphones by 2025 further underscores the escalating demand, thereby propelling the growth of the display driver market.

The anticipated growth in automotive production is expected to drive the expansion of the display driver market in the coming years. Automotive production encompasses the process of assembling components to create automobiles, trucks, and other motor vehicles, involving various stages such as designing, engineering, prototyping, testing, and manufacturing. In the context of automotive displays, the display driver serves as an interface between the microcontroller or microprocessor and the display itself, delivering the necessary signals to activate and control the individual pixels or segments of the display. These drivers are essential for ensuring that the information shown on the display is accurate, clear, and easily readable, thereby enhancing the overall user experience and safety within the vehicle. For example, in May 2023, the European Automobile Manufacturers Association, a Belgium-based lobbying and standards organization for the automobile industry, reported that global motor vehicle production reached 85.4 million units in 2022, representing a 5.7% increase compared to 2021. Consequently, the rise in automotive production is fueling the growth of the display driver market.

Technological advancements stand out as a prominent trend in the display driver market, with major companies striving to introduce innovative solutions to maintain their market position.
