AbstractIn 2006, the UK market for videoconferencing equipment and services was worth £202m at current end-user prices. Market growth appears to have accelerated in 2006; Key Note estimates that the overall market grew by 12.2% on 2005.
The videoconferencing market includes: client equipment (both group systems and desktop/personal systems); infrastructure equipment; and services. Videoconferencing forms part of the wider teleconferencing market, which, in turn, includes audioconferencing and dataconferencing. Dataconferencing allows people to share displays of data and work on them together. One major trend in 2005 and 2006 was the convergence of these three markets.
The background to the videoconferencing market in the UK was generally favourable between 2002 and 2006. There was continuous economic growth and increased business investment from 2004 onwards, and gradual expansion of the size of the workforce. The important UK banking and finance customer sector has remained strong. Moreover, high oil prices have affected the cost of business travel, and organisations are under constant pressure from shareholders or the public to reduce excess expenditure. Increased security at airports can cause delays and cancellations. The effect of these delays is two-fold: first, it increases the amount of productive time lost through travel; second, it fatigues the business traveller. Furthermore, in 2005 and 2006, there was increasing publicity concerning the contribution of air travel to global warming. The European Telecommunications Network Operators' Association (ETNO) has advised that 22.4 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) could be saved by cutting 20.4% of business travel in EU-25 countries and replacing it with videoconferencing or other non-travel solutions.
The problem associated with videoconferencing over Internet protocol (IP) networks have largely been solved and there has been a major swing in the last 10 years away from the use of integrated services digital networks (ISDNs), which are expensive, to the use of IP networks. The next major trend in the market is expected to be the adoption of high-definition (HD) equipment; many new HD products came onto the market in 2005 and 2006, offering high video and audio quality. Further along the spectrum from HD is telepresence, which, manufacturers claim, delivers an experience that is almost the same as being physically present in the same room. The entry of new competitors into this sector will help to reduce prices.
By 2011, the market is expected to reach £294m at current end-user prices. 2007 will see a continuation of the strong growth in desktop systems seen in 2006. The market swing towards HD equipment is expected to commence imminently and continue through to 2011. Partnerships between the videoconferencing industry and IT companies such as Microsoft and IBM are making videoconferencing available through popular software packages. This is expected to help to spread the use of videoconferencing to a wider market.
