Futuresource Consulting has continued its decade long study and released the fifth edition of the global videowall report which explores the adoption rates of technologies in the tiled display market. This report continues to build on its heritage tracking the established technologies of rear projection cube (RPC) and super narrow bezel (SNB) but focuses more keenly on the narrow pixel pitch LED (NPP LED) category which is gaining real traction and moving in to be a serious contender in this space.
From a macro perspective the report found that the videowall market reached 536,000 units in 2014, 19% growth on 2013 (RPC & SNB). This growth was driven by SNB, which grew at 22%. Futuresource Consulting also found that NPP LED stood out, with a rapidly changing competitive landscape and increasing momentum in verticals such as retail, public display and broadcast. Activity in the control room space, an important value niche, has largely been limited to China where State/Government projects have given it a strong foothold.
