Don’t Worry, You’re Not the Only One Spending Money

The corporate market is growing faster than the overall global pro AV market, with 13 percent CAGR forecast from 2014 to 2016. It’s also the largest integration market.

This market is the largest in every part of the world, but in some areas it’s less dominant. For instance, in the Middle East corporate represents only 19 percent market share, compared to 30 percent globally. In China, corporate represents 23 percent.

The flip-side is in India where corporate represents 41 percent and Europe with 32 percent.

Recovering economies are leading to more dynamic corporate projects and larger projects “from boardrooms to entire buildings to campuses.”

The counter trend is toward smaller huddle rooms, which are lower cost to implement and operate versus executive boardrooms. This is especially prevalent in SMBs.

The combination of thee trends is encouraging because both large and small clients are spending money on AV technology.

Large corporate customers are spending money on technology. According to InfoComm and Acclaro Partners’ 2014 Av Market Definition & Strategy Study, large companies are most often investing in large boardrooms, entire buildings, and campuses. Meanwhile, the same study says small-and medium-sized corporate clients are funneling budget toward smaller, less expensive and easier-to-operate huddle rooms.

The corporate market is growing faster than the overall global pro AV market, with 13 percent CAGR forecast from 2014 to 2016, according to InfoComm/Acclaro.

 

Office construction isn’t exactly booming, but demand for office space is improving, according to NSCA.

 

Only about 5.5% of office construction budget is dedicated to technology, but that seems poised to grow as technology plays a bigger role in how offices function.

So when you’re superiors ask why you need the budget to pay for that new AV project, let him know that you’re not the only one that needs the budget. As corporations continue to install new AV equipment, business practices across the board will adapt to how these types of equipment are used. Don’t allow yourself to get left behind.

Come on, everyone’s doing it.
