In the United States, for example, the retail industry’s significant growth, with total sales estimated at US$ 1,477 billion for the fourth quarter of 2020, has driven the need for more comprehensive product information, fueling the demand for short-term promotional signage, especially during seasonal product launches.

In the UK, digital signages have replaced conventional ones, serving as a cost-effective and engaging media tool for multiple sectors like education, healthcare, hospitality, transportation, and retail.

India’s road network expansion has been substantial, and the demand for directional and wayfinding signages has risen in response to increased infrastructure development and automobile sales. Japanese electronics manufacturers are capitalizing on the growing demand for digital signages, providing an alternative revenue stream, and shifting their focus from the declining television market. The high demand for LCD panels and the user-friendly features of digital signages are influencing brand decisions, enabling the display of various pre-programmed content formats such as audio, video, and images.
