This trend is expected to continue as technology becomes more accessible and affordable in India.

About the Indian signage industry segment, the IMARC group predicts that the sector will grow at a CAGR of 15.50% between 2024 and 2032. The increasing advancements in display technologies, such as high resolution, better colour accuracy and larger screen sizes, which enhance the overall viewing experience and attract more businesses to invest in digital signage solutions are driving the market.
