San Juan Capistrano, California – December 29, 2022. PMA Research (PMA), the worldwide market information experts on large displays, have published their latest sell-through tracking report on large-format (32-inch and larger) flat panel displays being sold by leading North American Pro AV dealers and systems integrators who typically serve commercial markets.

Month-over-month, November sales of professional displays saw unit volume up by 7% and revenues increase by 17% compared to the previous month. Year-over-year, volume fell 2% however revenues were up 13% compared with November 2021.

Despite Y/Y unit volume being down, the Pro AV channel has seen eleven straight months of positive Y/Y revenue growth for Professional Displays. The revenue growth has slowed significantly in the second half of the year.  This has the Pro AV channel looking to grow revenues in 2023 by focusing on interactive FPDs and disruptive technology like direct-view LED.

Several product segments contributed to this revenue growth, including interactive displays, professional televisions, and traditional LCD displays.

iFPDs unit sales increased again in November, with growth in both the 75-inch and 85-inch size categories. In total, touch displays accounted for 40% of the total volume and revenues in November. These sales continued to be of brands and models largely aimed at K-12 education. This is notable, given that we are well past the traditional K-12 buying season.

Professional television unit sales grew slightly in November from the prior month. The most notable gains were in the non-interactive professional LCD display segment. This segment consists of commercial grade displays without a digital tuner.

PMA’s monthly Flat Panel Distributor Tracking report offers timely sell-through data and analysis on unit sales and market trends of large-format displays sold by leading U.S. AV and IT Distributors. These reports are ideal for tracking product and channel trends.
