Abstract
Digital Signage used for the purpose of displaying advertisements, information and entertainment by means of a networked system of screens, is an application leading the digital revolution in out-of-home media. Essentially a convergence of display technology, connectivity and content management, Digital Signage has drawn the attention of telecom providers, display manufacturers and arguably advertisers as the "medium of the future" to reach targeted audiences.
The current issues the industry faces are twofold; on one hand, an unproven return on investment model often leaves even first movers in the dark at some stage; and secondly, the convergence of multiple technologies makes system integration and technology selection a key to a sustainable business model.
This report provides an in-depth analysis of Digital Signage operators in all regions throughout the world. A survey of the operators, consisting of a structured questionnaire and personal interviews, identified key drivers for the industry, its current state and the lessons it has learned from various false starts in the past. In addition to the traditional Internet-based delivery model, the niche for delivering this medium via satellite is also identified.
Primary Questions Addressed in this Report Include:
- What are the critical success factors for an advertising-driven business model for Digital Signage?
- What are the challenges being faced by Digital Signage operators in each region under study?
- What have been the mistakes the Digital Signage operators have made in the past?
- What factors influence the Return on Investment (RoI) model for a Digital Signage network?
- What factors influence Return on Investment (RoI) for an advertiser selecting a Digital Signage network as a part of their marketing mix?
- What is the expected site growth in the Retail, Hospitality, Healthcare and Transportation verticals?
- What is the expected growth in revenues from CPE and software sales?
- What is the expected growth in revenues from advertising sales for network operators?
