The digital signage market has rapidly evolved from simple electronic displays to highly interactive, data-driven communication systems. In 2025, the industry continues to gain momentum as businesses across sectors recognize the value of dynamic content delivery, real-time messaging, and connectivity with broader digital ecosystems.
What’s driving this growth—and how is the competitive landscape shaping up as we move deeper into 2025? Here’s a closer look.
The Competitive Battleground: Tech Giants Lead the Charge
The digital signage market is highly competitive and moderately fragmented, led by companies such as Samsung Electronics, LG Electronics, Sony Corporation, NEC Corporation, and Panasonic Holdings, which together command a significant share of global revenues. These players maintain strong market positions through broad product portfolios, well-established brands, and extensive global distribution across retail, corporate, transportation, and public-sector applications.
Display hardware manufacturers continue to dominate the competitive landscape, while media players and content management system (CMS) providers are increasingly integrating their platforms with hardware to deliver end-to-end signage solutions. Samsung Electronics remains a market leader with its comprehensive range of commercial-grade displays and a strong ecosystem of technology partnerships.
In May 2025, Samsung further expanded its retail advertising presence through a strategic partnership with Cielo, combining VXT display technology with AI-powered platforms to enhance content automation and improve campaign performance.

Technological Innovation Enhances Engagement
Advances in display technology—from high-brightness LED and ultra-high-resolution video walls to interactive touchscreen panels—are expanding the usefulness of digital signage solutions. Smart displays powered by AI algorithms and cloud connectivity deliver tailored content based on viewer behavior, time of day, and other contextual cues. These innovations make signage more impactful and measurable, spurring broader adoption.
On December 11, 2025, PPDS (Philips Professional Display Solutions) introduced Philips Stretch 3150—a wide-aspect signage solution that expands creative visuals and engagement with a 32:9 form factor and flexible deployment options. Remote and cloud content scheduling enhances usability in retail, transportation, hospitality, and education.

Integration with Smart Infrastructure and IoT
Digital signage is increasingly incorporated into smart infrastructure initiatives—from city-wide information boards to interactive public kiosks in shopping malls and transportation networks. Integration with Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensors enables signage that responds to environmental data (like weather or crowd density) and user interactions, making screens more relevant and responsive.
Industries such as retail and hospitality are also adopting signage as part of unified customer engagement platforms that tie into mobile apps, loyalty systems, and in-store analytics. This level of integration makes signage a critical touchpoint in seamless customer journeys, encouraging further investment.
Regional Dynamics and Market Leadership
North America remains the leading region in the digital signage market, supported by a highly advanced retail ecosystem and strong advertising expenditure. In 2024, the region accounted for over 34.60% of global revenue, driven by widespread adoption across retail, transportation, corporate, and public-sector environments. Rising investment in research and development has further improved product quality and strengthened digital and governmental infrastructure across the region.
In contrast, the Asia Pacific (APAC) region is the fastest-growing market globally. Growth is fueled by rapid urbanization, expanding commercial infrastructure, and large-scale smart city development programs across China, India, and Southeast Asia. Increasing investments in digital public infrastructure, transportation modernization, and retail expansion continue to accelerate the adoption of digital signage across the region.
Competitive Strategies and Market Consolidation
Digital signage companies are increasingly expanding through strategic partnerships and acquisitions to strengthen their market positions and broaden solution portfolios. In May 2025, Blue and Red BV, a specialist in digital signage and workspace management technology, announced the successful completion of its strategic merger with ScreenCom BV, a leading provider of enterprise digital signage solutions.
At the same time, subscription-based business models are gaining traction across the industry. Leading players such as Samsung and LG Electronics are offering end-to-end signage bundles that combine hardware, software, content management, and services under recurring pricing models. This shift reflects the growing adoption of AV-as-a-Service, enabling customers to reduce upfront costs while benefiting from scalable, managed digital signage solutions.

Future Outlook
Looking ahead, the digital signage market is set to move deeper into an intelligent, service-driven phase. Continued advances in AI, cloud platforms, and IoT integration will make signage networks more autonomous, data-rich, and context-aware, enabling brands to deliver highly personalized, real-time experiences at scale. Hardware innovation—particularly in energy-efficient displays, immersive form factors, and flexible screen formats—will further expand use cases across retail, transportation, corporate, and public environments.
At the same time, competitive dynamics are expected to intensify. Market leaders are likely to pursue additional partnerships, mergers, and AV-as-a-Service offerings to secure long-term customer relationships and recurring revenue streams. According to insights from Coherent Market Insights’ Digital Signage Market report, this shift toward connected, cloud-managed, and analytics-driven signage platforms is becoming a defining characteristic of the industry’s next growth phase.
