Digital Signage Solutions 2025: Frost Radar Report

A Benchmarking System to Spark Companies to Action - Innovation that Fuels New Deal Flow and Growth Pipelines

The digital signage industry faces a fundamental challenge: transforming from passive displays into intelligent systems that deliver measurable business value while overcoming implementation barriers. This also presents a significant opportunity as organizations demand solutions that combine advanced functionality with operational simplicity.

Successful providers distinguish themselves through vertical specialization rather than generic solutions. They develop deep understanding of specific operational environments, recognizing that a hospital's patient communication needs differ from a retailer's promotional requirements or a corporate campus's internal messaging.

The path forward will be defined by adaptive architectures that balance current needs with future flexibility. Solutions must accommodate unanticipated use cases through modular design while maintaining intuitive interfaces for non-technical users. Cloud-based management and hardware-agnostic platforms ensure that organizations can start small and expand capabilities as needs grow. Ultimately, the most successful providers will be those that view digital signage solutions not as an end product but as a platform for continuous innovation.
