Video conferencing hardware's worth approaches $4 billion, according to Futuresource's revelation.
Global Video Conferencing Market Set for Steady Growth Through 2029
The global video conferencing market is gearing up for steady growth, according to Futuresource Consulting's Global Video Conferencing Market Review for 2025. By the end of this year, video conferencing hardware shipments are expected to reach 4 million units, marking an 8% year-on-year increase. The total market value for video conferencing hardware is predicted to hit $4 billion in 2025, with optimistic growth continuing through to 2029.
Challenges and Opportunities
The market, however, faces several challenges. Navigating ongoing policy uncertainties and adapting to shifting enterprise demands require resilience and innovation from industry players. The changing nature of work and enterprise video usage also demands new solutions and flexibility in offerings.
Despite these challenges, there are several opportunities for growth. The sustained demand for video conferencing hardware driven by enterprise adoption fuels shipment growth. Emerging use cases such as professional video production for corporate environments open new segments for market expansion. Broad technology trends influencing the wider AV and communication sectors, including AI adoption and software-driven innovation, could enhance video conferencing capabilities. The steady market value growth suggests room for expansion via product enhancements and new business models tailored to evolving customer needs.
Market Realignment
The video conferencing market is undergoing a period of realignment. Vendors are being tested on various fronts, including geopolitics and platform realignments. The growing influence of Microsoft's Android-based MDEP is reshaping video bar development, but differentiating Android-based video bars is becoming challenging for manufacturers. All-in-one Android video bars are forecast to grow at a CAGR of 13% between 2025 and 2029.
Market Leaders
Logitech remains the largest global vendor by volume in the cloud conferencing peripherals market, holding an 18% market share at the end of 2024. The Logitech Sight solution is expected to benefit from CollabOS 1.15's new daisy-chain functionality, adding flexibility to multi-camera deployments.
External Factors
External factors such as US import tariffs initially caused concerns in Q1 of 2025, but a 90-day reciprocal tariff pause announced in April helped lift sentiment. Microsoft's scheduled end of support for Windows 10 in October 2025 may delay procurement cycles due to a complex and time-consuming upgrade path for many video conferencing systems and adjacent AV technologies.
