Global HDMI and DisplayPort Market 2016-2020

Overview of the global HDMI (high-definition multimedia interface) and DisplayPort market

Market research analysts at Technavio have predicted that the global HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) and DisplayPort market will grow steadily during the predicted period and will post a CAGR of almost 3% by 2020. Owing to technological advances in the media and communications industry, the recent years have witnessed a rapid increase in the demand for high-quality video content, which will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the market during the forecast period. The growth in broadband and mobile internet infrastructure, the growth in unit shipments of HD and 4K televisions, and the availability of high-end communication and entertainment devices will increase the consumption of HD and ultra-high definition (UHD) videos. This will subsequently increase the need for the compatibility of HD and UHD videos with devices such as televisions, laptops, and projectors, in turn, driving the demand for HDMI cables and DisplayPorts.

Digital signage uses LCD, LED, and projectors to display content such as digital images and video and can be found in public spaces, transportation systems, museums, and retail stores. Benefits such as elimination of paper waste, audience engagement, dynamic content control, cost-effectiveness, and targeted content display make digital signage a reliable alternative to other advertising media like posters and banners. Since, digital signage uses HDMI and DisplayPort to display information from the source device to display device, the growth of the digital signage market will consequently drive the growth of the HDMI cords and DisplayPort market.

Competitive landscape and key vendors

The market is characterized by the presence of a number of large and small-scale vendors and often witnesses price wars between the vendors intensifying the competitive environment in the market. The large-scale vendors focus mainly on the development of high-quality interfaces whereas the small-scale manufacturers provide effective solutions to small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The market is highly technology-intensive and vendors usually compete on the basis of technological advances and high-quality A/V input and output. The presence of large established players and the need for high capital investment make it tough for new players to enter the market. Moreover, focusing on obtaining new technologies and maintaining their share of the market, the large vendors will also start acquiring small-scale vendors.

The leading vendors in the market are -

• Lattice Semiconductor
• NXP Semiconductors
• STMicroelectronics
