Research and Markets: Global Installed Audio Conferencing Endpoints Market
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Dublin - Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/60d8a5/global_installed_a) has announced the addition of Frost & Sullivan's new report "Global Installed Audio Conferencing Endpoints Market" to their offering.
The installed audio conferencing endpoints market experienced high revenue growth in 2010 as companies are beginning to increase their capital expenditures after over 2 years of holding on to cash reserves. For vendors in the market, the challenge to keep growing is closely tied to their ability to integrate their systems with high-end videoconferencing equipment to build out multi-functional conference rooms and auditoriums. This will be particularly difficult for those vendors that do not have their own videoconferencing equipment portfolio because price pressure in both the video and audio equipment markets restricts potential revenue without having the larger spend per sale that a video/audio combination would bring.
Summary
- In 2010, the installed audio conferencing endpoints market rebounded from the market declines seen in 2008 to 2009 as forecasted in the previous Frost & Sullivan study. It is expected that growth in 2011 and 2012 will continue to be higher than the historical market curve (2003-2008) would indicate. Market growth will be driven by pent-up demand due to customers having held off capital spending for over 24 months during the economic uncertainty of the global recession.
- However, the market is forecasted to return to historic growth in 2013 with the major driver being penetration into developing markets and attachment of installed video solutions with enterprise-grade video build-outs. This will be offset by some price pressure in the market. Growth will also be hampered by a decreasing emphasis on greenfield conference room deployments in developed markets due to flat-rate (seat licensed) audio conferencing services and increased penetration of web conferencing. Additionally, deployment of unified communications will drive communications away from room-based solutions and to the desktop.
- Polycom continues to gain market share from ClearOne. One of the major factors for this ongoing shift is Polycom's ability to record unit sales from audio components attached to their own videoconferencing systems. With group video and telepresence having a higher growth rate than audio conferencing endpoints, the result is higher growth for Polycom than ClearOne.
Market Definition
- Frost & Sullivan defines an installed audio conferencing system as a nonportable unit designed specifically for use in larger spacessuch as larger meeting rooms, conference rooms, and auditoriums, and which requires installation and configuration by a trained person.
- The system comprises a control unit or console with embedded controlling processor and software, multi-channel microphone mixer, amplifier and echo cancellation facility, multiple microphones and multiple loudspeakers.
- As these systems are designed to allow large groups of people to participate in high-quality conferencing they command a significantly higher price point than the tabletop audio conferencing products.
