According to the industry reports, more and more companies recognize the benefits of digital signage solutions. In 2022, around 60% of enterprises without digital signage already plan to invest in the technology within the next few years to leverage visual storytelling and customer engagement.
These positive trends bring a number of opportunities and challenges for digital signage companies to continuously deliver value and cater for the growing demand.
So, what should your business
stay on the lookout for in 2024?
3 Main Challenges for Digital Signage in 2024
In 2024, the digital signage companies face several challenges, including:
1. Demand for Non-commercial Content
Despite offering a robust Customer Management System (CMS), digital signage companies find their clients lacking non-commercial content, like elegant artworks or nature photography. As a result, the clients don’t use digital signage to its full potential, leaving the screens turned off. With the spiked interest in neutral, off-brand content, clients will be expecting more versatile content options to provide for special occasions and visitor needs.
2. Keeping Digital Signage Solution Up-to-data
The new technologies are actively shaping the audiovisual industry, adding complexity to the audiovisual industry. This, in turn, creates additional pressure for the signage companies to look for modern, cost-effective and reliable enhancements for their solutions in 2024 and beyond.
3. Need for Relevant Content
Generic content is not going to cut it in 2024. A rich choice of fresh, relevant, and engaging image options is bound to be one of the key decision points for potential clients. Digital signage companies are expected to supply more personalized content to help clients create immersive visual experiences in their business spaces.

Key Takeaways
Greater market competition coupled with client demand for more personalized content options are keeping the digital signage industry on its feet this year.
In 2024, the content will be king. But not just any ordinary content options. Digital signages will have to supply personalized and multi-purpose (commercial and non-commercial) content options tailored to their clients’ needs.
When trying to cut through the intensified competition, the digital signage companies can utilize additional integrations to cater for different content needs of their clients and thrive in the ever-evolving market.
