Why the “Bible of the Industry” matters more than ever - the invidis Yearbook remains the industry’s most trusted source for market transparency, rankings, and global Digital Signage insights. With the new Americas Edition launching in 2026, it expands its international reach and relevance.
Market: The Beginner’s Guide to the invidis Yearbook
For more than a decade, the invidis Yearbook has been the authoritative reference for insights, benchmarks, and market transparency in Digital Signage and DooH. Often referred to as the “Bible of the industry,” the annual publication from invidis consulting condenses over 200 pages of market intelligence, trend analysis, expert commentary – and, most prominently, the leading rankings of the largest digital signage providers across all major market categories.
In a global market shaped by fragmentation and rapid transformation, transparency is essential. The invidis Yearbook exists precisely for this purpose: to bring clarity and orientation to end customers, integrators, solution providers, software vendors, and the wider business community.
Why market transparency matters
Digital Signage is evolving quickly – becoming more mature, more standardized, and more data‑driven. With this evolution comes the need for comparable metrics, verifiable market data, and transparent structures. The invidis Yearbook supports these requirements through a consistent methodology and strict quality standards.
To ensure trust and data integrity, invidis applies three guiding principles:
- Data Security Comes First – All company information submitted to invidis is handled confidentially. No individual data is shared, sold, or published.
- Rankings in Revenue Clusters – Instead of disclosing exact figures, rankings are published by revenue brackets such as 10–20 million EUR. This format ensures comparability while protecting sensitive business information.
- Software Rankings Based on Installed Active Licenses – The CMS market is highly competitive. To create a meaningful benchmark, invidis evaluates software vendors based on installed active license base, reflecting real‑world market scale and operational footprint.
Trusted. Independent. Widely Read.

New in 2026: Three Yearbooks – One Global Standard
Until now, invidis has published two editions annually: the Global Edition and the German Edition. Starting 2026, the portfolio expands significantly.
Introducing the Americas Edition
With the take-over of Sixteen‑Nine operations, invidis now offers editorial and analytical coverage across the US, Canada, and Latin America. The new Americas Edition closes a long‑standing gap and provides dedicated insights for one of the world’s most dynamic, diverse, and innovative Digital Signage regions.
The Americas Edition will include:
- Regional market sizes and dynamics
- Rankings of top integrators, CMS vendors, and DooH networks
- Regional trends, technologies, and use cases
- Country‑specific profiles across North and South America
At the same time, cooperation with DSF and DS LATAM will be further expanded to strengthen market data quality and better reflect regional trends and drivers.
How We Collect Data
To ensure consistency, accuracy, and fairness, invidis applies a structured and transparent data‑collection process:
- A questionnaire is sent to invited companies; previously unlisted companies may join by completing the public survey.
- A board of regional experts – including associations and respected industry leaders – helps identify additional relevant market players.
- Companies that do not participate in the survey are estimated by the panel of experts based on publicly available and industry‑specific information.
- invidis reserves the right to adjust implausible data. Affected companies will be consulted before publication.
A Must‑Read for the Digital Signage Community
Whether you are new to the industry, managing large‑scale deployments, developing software, running a network, or investing in the sector – the invidis Yearbook delivers the clarity needed to navigate an increasingly complex market.
With the expanded Americas Edition, deeper partnerships, and a broader data foundation than ever before, the 2026 Yearbooks mark the next evolution of the industry’s most trusted knowledge source.
