Market Trends of 5k Display Resolution Industry
Television Segment is Expected to Drive the Market
- The television industry is witnessing a growth in growth due to various technological advancements and the growing adoption of smart home technologies worldwide. Vendors across the globe are making effective innovations to their products to cater to customer needs and market requirements.
- Digitalization has become predominant in various regions as it improves the quality of cable networks. Digitalization is being adopted in cable networks due to the benefits of value-added services, like HD channels, channel pack subscriptions, and interactive videos. Such developments are expected to drive the demand for the 5K display resolutions.
- TVs with screen sizes less than or equal to 32 inches witness a reduced demand as consumers are inclined toward bigger-screen TV sets. Another major factor for the decreasing demand is the emergence of 5K technology. This is partly due to demand and partly to do with the limitations of the small screen. There are no 32-inch TVs with 5K technology, as their small screens cannot project the high resolutions of 5K. Manufacturers have focused on 5K sets for most of the past decade. Thus, it was inevitable that TVs incapable of showing it would fall by the wayside.
- TVs falling in this segment are also significantly cheaper due to their small size and limited functionalities. The lower price of these TVs makes them a suitable option for lower-income people who want to switch from conventional TVs to newer and smarter TV sets. Companies mostly target regions with a high number of lower-income people for launching TVs in this size range. For instance, in August 2022, Xiaomi India announced the launch of the Xiaomi Smart TV 5A PRO 32, with a screen size of 32-inch. This TV features a bezel-less screen with a resolution of 1336768 pixels. Also, the tv audio setup supports Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual: X.
- Such high TV consumption would drive the demand for the studied market over the forecasted period. The deployment of OS-based devices drives the market growth. The government regulations mandating the installation of set-top boxes, deployment of open OS-based devices by STB vendors, and analog switch-off transition in emerging countries are further driving the demand of the STB market, which would enhance the demand for the market studied.
North America is Expected to Hold Significant Share of the Market
- The 5K market in the United States is expected to witness high growth during the projected timeline. The increasing usage of high-resolution devices by sports & entertainment, medical, and consumer industries will fuel the market growth. The continuous technological advancement in the United States is boosting the demand for 5K technology. The 5K UHD is superior to the 4K UHD in vertical and horizontal pixels. The technology provides image visualization with improved angles and high quality.
- Canada is one of the most significant markets for 5K technology. High investments, technological advancements, and innovative applications are key factors driving the market. One of the main advantages of 5K resolution is that it provides much greater detail and clarity than lower resolution formats, making it a model for large screen displays or for use in applications where high image quality is a priority. Increasing adoption of OTT services leading to the preference of smart TVs as typical streaming entertainment products will create lucrative opportunities for the studied market.
- Additionally, the increasing prevalence of ultra-fast internet and highly efficient network infrastructure is expected to impact 5K resolution positively. For instance, in October 2022, the government of Canada announced a new project from Nokia, a global telecommunications company, to help the country transition to the next generation of wireless technology. This transformative USD 340 million project will expand Nokia's Ottawa facility and revitalize its laboratories further to advance wireless technology research and development in Canada. Through this investment, the government aims to grow Canada's wireless infrastructure and strengthen its position in digital innovations.
- Further, according to 10 Times, a business event platform firm with over 33 thousand events published on an event platform from May 2022 to April 2023, the United States has the most conferences, business meetings, and trade exhibitions scheduled. The United Kingdom was the second-place finisher, which hosted 6.4 thousand events across all sectors. This may create an opportunity for the market studied to grow. Such a rise in the number of events would create an opportunity for the commissioning of 5k full domes.
- According to screenfluence statistics, 76% of American consumers enter stores they had never visited because of the signage. 68% of Americans have paid for a service or product because its signage drew their attention. Such instances are creating more demand for advanced technologies in the commercial industry. Digital content is more likely to be noticed and remembered by customers than static print-based signs. There are several reasons at work here, but the primary one is that people are drawn to movement, color, and freshness. For example, digital billboards are prevalent in many metropolitan areas, marketing everything from real estate and grocery stores to pediatricians, car dealerships, and burger eateries.
