Futuresource Collaboration Bars Market

Hybrid work patterns have become deeply embedded within the working lives of millions, particularly in North America and Western Europe. This shift has forced organisations to consider how they can get the best from their widely dispersed employees. Remote collaboration has a clear return, and with video now commonplace in the workflows of many, there is a much-increased demand for ways to video-enable meeting spaces.

In this comprehensive collaboration bar report, Futuresource Consulting provides a market sizing analysis of the video collaboration bar market, exploring in detail how the market and its products fit into the wider video conferencing landscape. Suitably positioned between camera vendors and audio specialists, the popularity of collaboration bars has quickly drawn new entrants from across the AV landscape. This report examines the market size, key trends, collaboration bar teams, regional differences and the competitive landscape, supported by both historical and forward-looking data.

 

2023 was the year of the collaboration bar, with several traditional video hardware vendors - such as Cisco, Logitech, Lumens and Poly/HP - expanding their product portfolio with a video bar. This trend appears to be continuing into 2024, with Barco (ClickShare Core/Pro), DTEN (Bar), HP Poly (Studio V52) Logitech (MeetUp 2), Neat (Bar 2) and WolfVision
(Cynap) announcing new video bar models in H1 2024.

Given the challenging macroeconomic conditions that continue to hang over 2024, all-in-one video bars represent a relatively cost-effective way for AV decision makers to enable meeting room spaces with both audio and video functionality. Futuresource’s H1 2024 Channel Research found that enterprises are prioritising two types of space for video enablement: larger, multi-purpose meeting rooms (such as board rooms and training rooms) and ad hoc spaces.
