Retail Industry is Expected to Hold Significant Market Share
- In order to leverage advanced signage technologies, the retail players are integrating the digital tools at their disposal to share relevant and profitable content at their premises and integrate digital ads into their retail stores to create a different in-store user experience.
- They are fusing the digital and physical shopping mode to create a cohesive multichannel experience, thereby reshaping different parameters, such as prices, contents, features, method of advertisement, etc. For instance, NEC Corp. developed a new series of large-format UHD displays that support short and long-distance viewing through a high level of detail and huge screen sizes.
- Moreover, retailers are striving to update the user-interactive screens in real-time to reflect the current trends in in-store age or gender demographics to promote specific items or remove sold-out products from the screen.
- According to Scala Digital Signage, 74% of the US retailers consider that developing a more engaging in-store customer experience is critical, and out of that, 42% of the sales are expected to come from online, mobile, and social commerce sites, in the next five years.
- Further, retail players, such as Tommy Hilfiger, IKEA, Argos, Last Call Studio, and many more, are adopting innovative shopping experience using digital signage in multiple ways, such as interactive displays and more innovative screen content, through various handheld devices, which can draw the shopper experience, thereby, leaving a long-lasting impression.
- For instance, the digital signs are getting more interactive and convenient to create a more robust and engaging window displays platform in boosting customer engagement. The integration of intelligent technologies is helping them to attract a greater audience based on their buyer persona. The majority of the retailers maintain more than 1,000 stores, adding to the demand for POP displays.

- To improve visitor, student, and faculty communication, educational institutes of all levels adopt digital signage. Used for emergency notifications, way-finding, and other applications, digital signage offers the educational sector an effective medium to increase communication.
- By replacing traditional message boards and posters, digital signage solutions enable immediate, up-to-date, and highly engaging rich-media content shared throughout educational facilities. For instance, the University of Southern California has deployed digital signage software from Enplug to inform and engage faculty and students of the happenings across the campus.
- In the United States, the Navy has awarded over 15 contracts to Aerva Inc., to launch a base-wide network of digital displays for internal communications at several Naval facilities, including Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC), Naval Surface Warfare Centers (NSWC), Naval Shipyards (NSY), as well as other maintenance facilities for employee communications.
- Furthermore, movie theaters are already using digital kiosks across various cinemas in the country. These devices help get a better view of the seating arrangement, and they assist in reducing the long queues at the ticket counters. Increasing adoption of these devices in theaters is expected to carry the market forward.

- Moreover, ScreenBeam Inc., one of the key players in the United States in wireless display and collaboration solutions, has released an update featuring a digital signage capability that will empower their 1,100 clients to better leverage their meeting room displays in communicating essential employees and guests messaging, company branding, and beyond.
