Signage and Professional Display Shipments to Rise Six-Fold by 2011
While revenue growth will be moderate, expect more than 22 million units to ship in 2011
BY Sanju Khatri
iSuppli

Although manufacturers of digital signage and professional displays are facing the challenge of tepid revenue growth for their products, fast-rising unit shipments are presenting significant opportunities for these companies, iSuppli Corp. believes.

The digital signage and professional displays market is set to grow to $14.6 billion by 2011 managing a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.8 percent up from $9.1 billion in 2006, according to iSuppli. However, it is the unit growth that is the impressive part of the market. Unit growth in the digital signage market will hit 22.7 million units by 2011, rising at a CAGR of 42.2 percent from 3.9 million units in 2006, a nearly sixfold increase.

The main reason for the weak revenue growth is the substantial price declines occurring in display technology enabled by improvements in manufacturing processes and the maturation of technology. This steep decline in prices is enabling the adoption of displays in signage applications. Price competition is less intense and margins are much healthier in the digital signage market than other display areas, so companies are anxious to enter the segment. <More>
