Market analysys Futuresource has published a report looking at the future of classroom display technology. Over the last 10 years interactive whiteboards have become the dominant classroom display system, and in 2009 became a $1 billion industry, but these products are no under threat from interactive projectors and interactive flat panel displays.
The report considers the entire education market from funding models and key usage/technology considerations through to pricing and roll-out scenarios.
Key areas include:
- Overview of the current market situation – existing technology, market size, key players, class penetration, route to market and opportunities.
- Hardware landscape and future considerations – cost structures, usage issues, impact of alternative display technologies.
- Content and software – the impact of new entrants (hardware and software) on incumbent business models and software licensing structures.
- Installation issues – impact of IFPD on areas such as transportation, insurance, resource, speed, classroom architecture, etc.
- Roll out scenarios – scenarios and volume forecasts developed with particular focus on cost matrix and software licensing models.
