According to a recent news piece (IN DEPTH: The recession – who is hurting worst?) from SCREENS.tv, there is an updated article focusing on the screen media sector where IMS Research comments AOpen as the leading supplier of media player for digital signage.

According to IMS Research, the overall market for digital-signage technology continues to grow, albeit at a slower pace than before the recession. Top suppliers of displays – other than LED arrays – are Samsung, NEC and LG, while among software suppliers, Scala and Stratacache are significant names. The report adds, “The leading supplier of media players for digital signage was estimated to be AOpen”.

Meanwhile, the report indicates that the worldwide digital-signage technology market was worth $4bn in 2009; while media players and set-top boxes share were at 21.7 percent (868million USD). AOpen is certainly positioning itself as the leading digital signage media player provider and with such opportunity, will tale most of the 868mn USD market share.

With a complete line of products supporting digital signage from Digital Engine, warmTOUCH, Digital Signage Display (DSD), and Engine Core, to mounting solution Titan One series, AOpen is prepared and determined to be the primary digital signage hardware provider in the world.

IMS Research was founded in 1989 and is now one of the leading suppliers of detailed, quality market research to the global electronics industry. The company publishes close to 100 reports annually, and sells to more than 40 countries worldwide.
