Supply/Demand Dynamics Support Sign Start-Up Success In 2021

Though the International Sign Association’s Q4 2020 industry quarterly economic report is still forthcoming, the digital signage market is projected to have reached US$21.92 billion by year’s end, with a CAGR of 8.04% from 2015 to 2020. The future looks just as bright, with a GlobeNewswire report estimating continued growth at a CAGR of 4.3% from 2020 to 2027. This surging growth is being driven by demand for emerging digital signage solutions and paper wastage reduction.
While digital signage is enjoying unprecedented demand, printed signage remains quite profitable. In 2019, the global market for printed signage reached a value of $43.4 billion, with a total of 10.88 billion meters square of signage and point-of-sale media printed. And while 2020 profits were impacted by COVID-19 and competition from electronic media, a new report by Smithers research firm predicted a strong surge in profitability by 2024.
The pandemic has wreaked havoc on the economy, but the sign industry is still going strong. Not only is the sign industry now protected under the CISA’s “Essential Critical Infrastructure” designation, but new demand for COVID-19 safety signs has helped sign shops recover most of the losses caused by the lockdowns.
