From the humble beginnings of paper-based boards to the dazzling displays of today, the evolution of communication methods has been a journey of progress. As the global digital signage market reached a value of $23.5 billion in 2021 and is expected to grow exponentially to $63.3 billion by 2030, new trends are emerging, focusing on multi-level interactivity. These trends empower users to interact with and control what they see, transforming passive viewers into active participants and creating memorable experiences through personalized, on-demand content.
A look at the impact of interactive digital signage
Without a doubt, interactive digital signage is a game-changer. Captivating audiences and delivering content in an engaging way boosts information recall, extends attention spans, and drives conversions. Studies indicate that interactive displays can enhance information retention by up to 83% and increase dwell time by as much as 81%. In the competitive realms of retail and advertising, these interactive experiences can translate into impressive conversion rates, often reaching 32%.
