The global transparent display market is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period (2018-2023). The technological advancements in display technology are leading the adoption of transparent displays in various applications. Transparent display technology has integrated it into consumer industry such as handheld devices, televisions, and other technology as well as building materials such as glass. LG introduced its prototype of the 55-inch transparent display at Consumer Technology Association (CES) 2017. The transparent displays are increasingly become popular in virtual reality and augmented reality for enhancing digital images and other application includes shopping displays and more sophisticated computer screens. The smart glasses such as augmented reality and Google Glass applications have focused attention on displays that can simultaneously display information and function as windows in the real world. In 2016, Apple has been granted a patent for transparent augmented reality phone.

The factors that are contributing to the growth of the market are the rising demand for virtual reality, ongoing developments in transparent displays, and technological advancements in digital signage and display technologies. Growing demand for the transparent display such as organic light-emitting diode (OLED), Passive-Matrix OLED (PMOLED), augmented transparent displays, roll-able transparent displays are furthermore augmenting the market growth. Transparent OLED screens are made up of millions of pixels, each emits their own individual light. The demand for transparent displays for a gaming console and virtual reality is further propelling the growth of the market. According to Digi-Capital, around $3 billion has raised in venture funding by the technology companies working with augmented and virtual reality in 2017. For instance, companies such as the Magic Leap and Improbable raised funding of $500 million, Unity and Niantic received funding of $400 million and $200 million respectively, is expected to increase the demand for transparent displays in the gaming industry.

However, the development issues related to the transparent display is hindering the market growth. Display firms have started responding to these major trends with new types of transparent displays. They had to invent technologies in order to overcome the issues associated with the development of transparent displays. Furthermore, rising expenditure on technology as a result of increasing disposable income which increases the probability of consumer spending. Hence, the increasing adoption in various industries such as automotive, smartphones, industrial application, and consumer electronics, is expected to create enormous opportunities for the market.
