LED all-in-one displays have emerged and are being applied in the domestic market . According to TrendForce's "2025 Global LED Display Market Outlook and Price & Cost Analysis Report," unlike traditional LED splicing screens, LED all-in-one displays are standardized products integrated with a controller. These products combine wireless transmission, video conferencing, and interactive writing functions, and are thinner and lighter (generally 3-5 cm thick). They can be quickly and modularly installed on-site, with installation and debugging completed in 1-2 hours.
Currently, the main display aspect ratio is 16:9, with sizes ranging from 110 to 220 inches, and primarily featuring a pixel pitch of P1.2 to P2.5 and FHD resolution. The products are available in mobile, wall-mounted, and floor-standing models, and are mainly used in corporate meeting and education spaces, business events, retail displays, lecture halls, and other similar applications.
In 2020, due to the outbreak of the pandemic, the global conference market grew, and the active activities of smart offices, remote meetings, working from home, hybrid offices, and international economic activities drove the demand for LED all-in-one machines to rise first in the conference scenario.
Especially in the Chinese market, the main customers for LED all-in-one displays are government agencies and large state-owned enterprises. In recent years, however, all-in-one displays have also been penetrating the commercial display market, with large private enterprises becoming users as well.
According to relevant data, there are approximately 100 million conference rooms worldwide, of which China is estimated to have more than 20 million. This means that China will be the world's largest consumer market for LED all-in-one conference systems.
Beyond conference room settings, LED all-in-one machines are increasingly used in education, particularly in lecture halls, tiered classrooms, and training rooms at higher education institutions and training centers. Furthermore, the Chinese Ministry of Education's "Interactive Whiteboard" standard explicitly stipulates that classrooms larger than 70 square meters (accommodating 50 or more people) must be equipped with display devices with a screen size of at least 100 inches, further expanding the application opportunities for LED all-in-one machines in education.
According to TrendForce's analysis, in 2023, LED all-in-one PCs accounted for 68% of the sales market in China. This share is projected to decrease to 63% in 2024, but China will remain the world's largest consumer market for LED all-in-one PCs.
Multiple companies are expanding their LED all-in-one machine offerings overseas . The increasing demand for LED all-in-one machines in scenarios such as conferences and education is driving more companies to join the ranks of those developing such products. Currently, well-known domestic LED display companies such as CVTE, Leyard, Absen, Kolent, Unilumin, Hikvision, Lehman Optoelectronics, Lianjian Optoelectronics, and Aoto Electronics have all entered the LED all-in-one machine market, while overseas companies include Samsung and LG.
With the increasing number of companies in the industry, companies are no longer only focusing on the Chinese market for LED all-in-one machines, but are also gradually pushing all-in-one machines to a larger international market.
Since 2022, LED all-in-one machines have been gradually promoted in the international market, with international manufacturers such as Samsung and LG launching corresponding products that year. Domestic manufacturers such as Leyard and Absen have also increased their promotion in the international market, mainly in North America, followed by Southeast Asian countries and Europe.
In 2023, manufacturers continued to increase their efforts to promote all-in-one PCs in overseas markets. According to TrendForce's analysis, the sales share of all-in-one PCs in overseas markets (North America, Europe, Asia, and other regions) was 32% in 2023, and it is expected that the sales share of all-in-one PCs in overseas markets will increase to 37% in 2024.
Price reductions and functional upgrades drive demand growth for LED all-in-one PCs . Despite the return to normalcy from the pandemic, the LED all-in-one PC market has not been significantly affected in recent years. On the contrary, since 2022, both the market value and shipment volume of LED all-in-one PCs have been increasing year by year.
TrendForce predicts that global shipments of LED all-in-one PCs will reach 6,400 units in 2024, representing a year-on-year increase of 11%. From 2020 to 2024, the compound annual growth rate of LED all-in-one PC shipments will reach 31%. The market value of LED all-in-one PCs is expected to reach US$148 million in 2024, representing a year-on-year increase of 7%.
In addition to the market recognition of the advantages and features of LED display technology, the continued rise in demand from the conference and education markets, and the entry of many manufacturers to drive the development of all-in-one products, the continuous decline in product prices is also a key factor in the growth of the LED all-in-one market.
With the maturation of LED technology and the decline in the cost of upstream raw materials such as COB packaging, the price of LED all-in-one PCs continued its downward trend in 2024. According to TrendForce's survey, the price range for 135-163 inch LED all-in-one PCs is US$18,000-72,000. Among them, 135-inch (2K P1.5), 146-inch (2K P1.68 / 4K P0.84), and 163-inch (2K P1.9) are the mainstream in the market.
It is understood that the price per square meter of some sizes of LED all-in-one machines has gradually approached that of LCDs, and the price of LED all-in-one machines is expected to decrease further in the future, with their price competitiveness expected to gradually increase.
While prices are decreasing, manufacturers are also further enriching the hardware and software capabilities of LED all-in-one machines, which may be one of the reasons for the continuous growth in demand. Today's LED all-in-one machines have become more intelligent, not only meeting users' diverse needs for convenience and security, but also providing users with a variety of functions during meetings, including real-time captions, real-time translation, intelligent generation of meeting minutes, and automatic generation of to-do summaries.
Judging from the new products released this year, the development of LED all-in-one machines is mainly focused on upgrading towards intelligence, thinness, high performance, high integration, and low power consumption, becoming a standardized product like a television.
The trend towards larger display sizes has become mainstream, and the aforementioned advantages provide greater potential for expanding the application scenarios of LED all-in-one PCs. However, it's important to note that the display market is highly competitive. For example, LCD displays are also trending towards larger sizes, with 115-inch models already available. Furthermore, LCD TVs offer a more significant price advantage compared to LED all-in-one PCs. This may pose a challenge to the future development of LED all-in-one PCs.
On the other hand, the trend towards larger screen sizes also brings more opportunities to LED all-in-one PCs. Currently, the size of LED all-in-one PCs continues to grow towards 135 inches and above. In these ultra-large size areas, the advantages of technologies such as LCD displays are not obvious. On the contrary, LED all-in-one PCs have more prominent advantages in display effect, ease of installation, and cost, making them a better product in the ultra-large size field, and their future development potential is promising.
Summary <br /> Currently, the LED all-in-one machine market is still relatively small. However, with the increasing number of players entering the market, continuous cost reduction, and ongoing improvement in product performance, LED all-in-one machines, as standardized products, have shown the industry the potential for LED technology to enter more markets. It is believed that in the near future, as LED all-in-one machine products continue to optimize cost and performance, the market size will gradually expand, becoming a key track for the development of LED technology.
