85 % of all digital signage projects in 2014 were small and medium installations with up to 50 displays. Smaller projects have a higher margin and can be carried out successfully by most players in the market. Only 8 % digital signage networks rolled out in 2014 were larger than 100 displays because large projects generate high revenues, but discounts increase with the number of hardware used and tear into the margin.

Retail remains top, strong demand for corporate communications

Retail is with approximately one fifth of all digital signage revenues still the biggest vertical market. The corporate communication vertical market has seen a positive trend over the last few years and could secure its second place. While banking is the third biggest vertical market in Benelux.
