Samsung Electronics Ranks No. 1 in Global Digital Signage Unit Sales for Seventh Consecutive Year

For the seventh consecutive year, Samsung Electronics maintained its position as the worldwide leader in digital signage unit sales. Recently released sales figures from IHS, the leading source of insight, analytics, and expertise in display technology, validate Samsung’s leadership in the industry, its pole position dating back to 2009.

Samsung’s successful 2015 results indicate a continuation of the momentum the company has built in the digital signage space in recent years. As global clients seek more dynamic avenues to capture customer attention, Samsung has continued to innovate its technologies to capitalize on the growing need for versatile, high-performing displays in a range of environments.

According to the IHS Technology report “Public Display Market Tracker Q1 2016”, Samsung accounted for 28.8 percent of the global market share for digital signage unit sales.  This signifies an increase on the 26.9 percent market share which Samsung maintained at the close of 2014.
