The Industry

The analog printing sign industry is going through a paradigm shift similar to when the industry transitioned from printing signs to digital imaging.

Sales of hardware, software, installation and integration services, and support for all commercial display applications totaled nearly 2.7 billion in 2008.
• For networked display systems in retail and public spaces, networked operation/management services and advertising revenues generated an additional $413 million.
• "This industry is expected to demonstrate a CAGR in excess of 25% over the next five years."
• Cost-effective LCD's are becoming the most popular technology for digital signage applications because of their longevity, reliability, low power consumption, and attractive price point.
