According to a report by Omdia, global desktop monitor shipments reached 133.4 million units in 2025, marking a recovery driven largely by the gaming monitor segment. The data, released in early 2026, indicates a year-over-year increase from 2024 levels, though specific 2024 figures were not disclosed in the available summary.
Gaming monitors, defined as those with refresh rates of 144Hz or higher, were a key growth driver, accounting for a significant portion of shipments. Omdia noted that demand for high-performance displays, particularly in Asia-Pacific and North America, contributed to the overall uptick.
The report also highlighted a shift toward larger screen sizes and higher resolutions, with 27-inch and 32-inch models gaining popularity. However, the overall market remains below the peak levels seen during the pandemic-era work-from-home boom.
