This report consolidates Futuresource Consulting’s expertise across a range of corporate technology categories to provide insights and analysis of the personal conferencing market.

In a world where hybrid working has changed employee workflows and locations, Futuresource explores how personal conferencing technologies are being used by individuals. From purchase decisions to preferences and pain points, this report delivers a comprehensive view of the technology ecosystem.

In addition to insights around remote working, this report explores the products and services suited to personal conferencing, including unified communication and collaboration (UC&C) platforms, private video conferencing software, webcams and office-based headsets.

For any enterprise with an interest in personal conferencing, this report provides a strategic framework that identifies the key opportunities and movements in this new and ascending market.

2022 was a challenging year for the whole AV industry, with macro-economic uncertainty and supply chain issues causing significant disruption. Difficult economic conditions put pressure on AV budgets, leading to postponement of major spending. Difficult conditions continued into H1 2023, with widespread redundancies across the tech sector.

The outlook for H2 2023 is, however, more optimistic. As enterprises, especially across West Europe and the US, implement return to office mandates, next-generation technology will be used to entice employees back to the office.
