As of the end of CY2025, there were 3.6 million IWBs and 10.7 million IFPDs installed in K-12 Education globally (Futuresource data). The Education sector provides a significant target market for IFPD/IWB vendors, with over 43 million classrooms and 1.5 billion enrolled students and teachers in K-12 across the world.
Whilst IWBs were primarily used in Education for many years, the Corporate meeting room market has become a secondary driver for IFPDs. The addressable market of Corporate meeting spaces (54 million globally, according to Futuresource’s latest TAM data) is larger than the number of K-12 classrooms, and IFPD penetration is low.
Whilst the meeting and breakout room space is also a landscape for TVs, Projectors, non-touch commercial Flat Panel LCD Displays (FPD), and, latterly, LED Displays, some diminishing opportunity also remains for IFPD in the coming years as a sole, or secondary display in meeting rooms.
