The unveiling of the video conferencing hardware market value approaching $4 billion, as disclosed by Futuresource.
In a recent report, Futuresource Consulting's Global Video Conferencing Market Review, the company forecasts a steady growth in global video conferencing hardware shipments from 2025 through 2029. By the end of 2025, shipments are expected to reach four million units, marking an 8% year-on-year increase.
The growth is attributed to the industry's resilience amid policy uncertainty and changing enterprise demands, which help sustain market momentum despite global challenges. Additionally, the total category value for video conferencing hardware is anticipated to approach $4 billion in 2025, underpinning market strength and future expansion through 2029.
Seamless, scalable solutions are particularly notable in environments with multi-vendor setups and flexible workspaces. Vendors that can align with evolving workflows, changing software ecosystems, and new user expectations will lead the next wave of growth in the video conferencing market.
The all-in-one Android video bar segment is forecast to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 13% between 2025 and 2029. The growing influence of Microsoft's Android-based MDEP is reshaping video bar development. However, differentiating Android-based video bars is becoming increasingly challenging for manufacturers.
The report also highlights the Logitech Sight solution, which is expected to benefit from CollabOS 1.15's new daisy-chain functionality, adding flexibility to multi-camera deployments. 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 report also discusses the impact of geopolitical events on the industry. For instance, concerns around US import tariffs affected the video conferencing industry in Q1 of 2025, while President Trump's 90-day reciprocal tariff pause, announced in April, helped improve sentiment in the industry.
By 2029, video bars are expected to overtake meeting room cameras as the most common video conferencing form factor. Microsoft's scheduled end of support for Windows 10 in October 2025 may cause complex and time-consuming upgrades for video conferencing systems and adjacent AV technologies, potentially delaying procurement cycles.
Participant experience remains a core design priority in the video conferencing market, influencing product development. The report provides contact information for Johnny Woodman for inquiries about the Global Video Conferencing Market Review report or purchases.
In summary, Futuresource Consulting projects consistent shipment growth driven by enterprise demand adaptability and industry strategies responding to policy and market uncertainties, with hardware shipments and market value both increasing steadily up to 2029.
