The market expects even more favourable conditions for their business within the next six month. 73% of the survey participants have this view. The year 2014 saw a clear increase in customer demand for Digital Signage solutions. With declining CAPEX and a rising professionalization in the industry more and more customers started investing in Digital Signage. Together with a further development of DooH networks this drove revenues up for the Digital out of Home and Digital Signage market participants.

In 2014 between 69,8% percent of all companies in the Digital Signage market have hired new staff and an estimate of between 200-250 new jobs were created. The high customer demand in 2014 has led to more projects being realised and thus the companies had to invest in human capital to stem all new obligations.

In 2014 the Digital Signage market was enthusiastic about strong growth in revenues and customer demand, but legal restrictions, bureaucracy and low content quality dampen the mood. Entry level signage, POS and Small/Large Signage will be the major trends in 2015.
