Digital Signage Market in Japan
Definition of a digital signage in general applies to the information distributing system using electronic displays at various locations such as outdoors, storefronts, public spaces and public transportation. However, in this research, digital signage refers to network-types only (including large-sized standalone devices); it does not include compact digital standalone signage (which displays certain videos or still images by inserting USB etc.,).
As a side note, a ‘large-sized’ here refers to displays larger than a smartphone or a tablet.
Size of the digital signage market is calculated based on the sum of advertising market (based on advertising placements spending at advertisers), contents creation market (based on sales at contents creators), and system sales/integration market (based on sales at system sales companies/system integrators including hardwares).
