Methodology

How the estimates were built: data sources, modelling approach and validation steps.

Research approach

A market size is a claim about the world, and a claim is only as good as the route to it. Every study is built upward from units and prices — what is actually produced, sold or performed, at what it actually changes hands for — rather than from a headline figure divided downwards. Disclosed company revenue is then used to check that build, not to produce it.

Market size estimation, this report

The market is built upward from installed digital panel counts by venue type and display format, multiplied by the average annual ad revenue realized per panel, a function of impressions sold and the prevailing cost-per-thousand rate for that format and location tier. Panel counts are estimated separately for billboards, transit, street furniture and point-of-sale placements, since realized rates differ sharply by venue. That bottom-up build is then checked against digital and out-of-home segment revenue disclosed by major operators in their public filings. Where the two diverge, the correction is made to the panel-count or realized-rate assumption feeding the bottom-up build, not by averaging in a separate top-down estimate.

The four stages

The same sequence runs behind every published study, whatever the industry. The order matters as much as the steps: the segment axes are fixed before any number is collected, so the model is never reshaped to fit whatever data happens to turn up.

What the build rests on, and what checks it

The two are not interchangeable. The left column produces the number; the right column tests it. When the check disagrees with the build, the answer is to find which bottom-up assumption is wrong — a unit count, a price, a take-up rate — not to split the difference between them.

The bottom-up build rests on
  • Volume actually transacted — units produced, installed, dispensed or procedures performed, counted at the level each is genuinely recorded
  • Realised pricing by tier and channel, rather than one blended average applied across the whole market
  • Take-up and frequency: how much of the addressable base buys, and how often it repeats
The build is checked against
  • Disclosed revenue of the companies serving the market, where filings separate it far enough to be usable
  • Buyer-side spending totals — capital budgets, procurement lines, or the output of the end market the product is bought against
  • Trade and customs flows, where the product crosses borders in a separately recorded form

Data sources

Published data establishes what happened. Only the people transacting in a market can say why, and what is about to change — so the two are collected separately and weighted differently.

Primary — who is interviewed
  • Commercial and product leadership at the companies that supply the market
  • Procurement and specification leads at the organisations that buy it
  • Distributors, integrators and channel partners, where the market is served indirectly
  • Regulatory and standards specialists, where approval governs what can be sold at all
Secondary — what is read
  • Company filings, annual reports and investor disclosure
  • Government statistics, customs records and regulatory registers
  • Trade association output and standards-body publications
  • Technical and peer-reviewed literature, where the market rests on a clinical or engineering claim
Primary research design, this report

Interviews target media buyers and planners at advertising agencies who allocate out-of-home budgets, commercial leads at programmatic ad-tech platforms who see realized rates across operator networks, sales and network leads at out-of-home operators who set panel-level pricing, and municipal permitting contacts in dense metros who approve new digital signage. This mix is chosen because pricing and panel-count growth are set at different points in the chain, and no single role sees the whole picture. Sampling emphasizes North America and Western Europe, where panel density and disclosure are both highest, with additional coverage in urban East and Southeast Asia given the pace of new digital panel installation there.

Secondary sources, this report

Desk research draws on the segment-level digital and out-of-home revenue disclosed in the public filings of Lamar Advertising, Outfront Media, JCDecaux and Clear Channel Outdoor, the panel count and spend benchmarks published by the Out of Home Advertising Association of America, municipal outdoor-advertising permit registers in major metro markets, and customs shipment records under the LED display panel tariff classification, used as a proxy for installed-base growth in the markets where operators do not disclose panel counts directly, particularly for point-of-sale and interactive kiosk inventory.

Desk research runs across proprietary research databases including Factiva, OneSource and Hoovers alongside the public sources above. Modelling and statistical validation are run in SAS and SPSS.

Forecasting

The forecast is not a growth rate applied to a base year. It is built from the drivers that are expected to change, each one stated so a reader can disagree with it.

Forecast approach, this report

The forecast is built from projected panel count growth by venue type, the pace at which operators connect existing inventory to programmatic bidding platforms, and the realized cost-per-thousand trend by format. It normalizes for the 2021-2022 recovery base effect, when out-of-home spend rebounded sharply off a depressed 2020, so that period is not extrapolated forward as a sustained growth rate. The forecast holds if retail media and transit-network digitization keep converting static inventory to digital at the pace observed through 2025, and if programmatic connection continues compressing the share of inventory still sold through manual, direct booking.

Triangulation and validation

No figure enters a report on the strength of one source. Where the two sizing routes disagree the difference is not averaged away — the assumption causing it is isolated, tested against a third independent measure, and either corrected or carried forward as a stated limitation. Historical years are back-tested against the growth actually recorded before any forecast is allowed to run forward from them.

Validation, this report

The build was back-tested against 2020-2024 digital and out-of-home segment growth publicly disclosed by the operators named above, and it reproduces that recorded growth within a narrow margin. Segment share shifts, billboards against transit against point-of-sale, were reviewed against the same view held by agency planning contacts interviewed for this study. Two sensitivities were tested: a slower-programmatic-adoption case, where the connection of inventory to bidding platforms lags the base assumption, and a faster-permitting-friction case, where more metro markets restrict new digital signage permits than assumed in the base forecast.

Confidence and limitations

Where an estimate is firm and where it is not is stated rather than left to be inferred from the precision of the number.

Confidence framing, this report

Billboard and transit sizing is the firmest part of this estimate, anchored to segment revenue and panel counts that major operators disclose directly. Point-of-sale and interactive kiosk sizing rests more on proxy indicators, panel shipment records and retailer network announcements, since fewer operators report that revenue as its own line. Confidence sits at medium overall on that basis. The clearest structural risk to the forecast is a wave of municipal restriction on new outdoor digital permits in dense metro markets, which would slow panel count growth faster than the base case assumes.
