The COVID-19 pandemic causes a myriad of component and supply chain issues that were compounded by Russia's invasion of Ukraine last year. When key components could be obtained their prices were exorbitant; when products could be manufactured, shipping was either unavailable or also priced exorbitantly. The result was significant back orders, reduced margins, long lead times, and suppliers being unable to meet demand. This was less of an issue for wired microphones and more of an issue for wireless and array microphones.

Installed Commercial has been the most stable and steady of the verticals. It was the largest of the verticals prior to the pandemic and was the most stable during the pandemic. There was a slight decline (-12%) in growth in 2020, followed by 17% growth in 2021. Over the forecast period, the vertical will experience a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.1%,
making it not only the most stable but also the fastest-growing of the 5 verticals.

AV conferencing is at the center of significant changes happening in the Installed Commercial vertical. AV conferencing has become an integral part of how enterprises, government organisations and educational institutions do business. On top of this, record levels of employees are working from home and/or working on completely separate sides of the world to their teams. This is increasing the pressure and demand for seamless audio and communication.
