As the Pro AV industry prepares for InfoComm 2025 Orlando, anticipation builds around what the year’s biggest U.S. trade show will reveal.
Taking place in June at the Orange County Convention Center, InfoComm promises to spotlight the most important Pro AV trends of 2025, showcase the latest AV industry innovations, and build on momentum from a successful ISE earlier in the year.
With integrators, manufacturers, and end users coming together at a pivotal moment in the AV calendar, here are some key aspects and themes expected to shape discussions at the show, and in the months ahead.
Industry Trends
Global economic uncertainty continues to influence Pro AV business strategy, with factors like tariffs, inflation, and interest rates affecting everything from manufacturing costs to end-user spending. These macro-economic forces will be explored in-depth at AVIXA’s “Market Insights Lunch: State of the AV Industry” on Tuesday, June 10.
The session will feature exclusive findings from AVIXA’s 2025 Industry Outlook and Trends Analysis (IOTA) report, delivering forecasts on industry size and future growth. Attendees will also gain insights from recent end-user demand surveys, revealing current purchasing patterns and priorities. In an unpredictable market, staying informed is essential—and this research offers a valuable roadmap for navigating what’s next in Pro AV communications and technology planning.
Emerging Tech & Innovation
Trade shows remain a key destination for discovering cutting-edge AV technology in real-world settings. InfoComm 2025 serves as a mid-year checkpoint to assess which emerging trends are translating into commercial solutions—and which are set to disrupt the market.
Expect to see continued growth in LED technologies, along with the evolving role of AI, IoT, and AV-over-IP. Questions abound. What’s the next leap in display innovation? How will intelligent systems enhance control and collaboration? Can AV systems become even more flexible and adaptive for hybrid environments?
Big product announcements often remain under wraps until the show, but leading manufacturers are expected to unveil AV industry innovations that address the needs of today’s increasingly integrated, software-driven installations.
Enhancements
While major breakthroughs often steal the spotlight, incremental improvements in existing technologies are driving significant value for integrators and clients alike. Enhancements in processing power, brightness, resolution, and form factor can improve performance, reduce installation complexity, and increase ROI.
From sharper pixel pitches to improved user interfaces and automation, these refinements reflect a steady march of progress. The focus is often on practical, cost-effective upgrades, reminding us that in Pro AV, it’s not always about revolution, but consistent evolution.
Trends and Innovations
Sustainability
Sustainability continues to shape decision-making across the AV sector.
More organisations are seeking ways to reduce energy consumption, limit waste, and make environmentally conscious choices—without compromising performance.
AMETEK SurgeX is helping integrators meet these goals through innovations in power management. Their technology supports smarter energy use through scheduled shutdowns, phantom power reduction, and remote monitoring—not only minimising environmental impact but also lowering service costs.
IPTV and digital signage provider VITEC is also addressing sustainability challenges through its GreenPEG initiative, which explores energy efficiency in video encoding and decoding—two areas of increasing demand in today’s bandwidth-intensive applications.
Efforts like these are being recognised in industry awards schemes, where sustainable Pro AV innovations are receiving growing attention.
Looking Ahead
InfoComm 2025 Orlando represents a valuable opportunity to explore the trends, research, and technologies shaping the Pro AV sector this year. From macroeconomic insights to micro-level innovations, the event offers a comprehensive view of where the industry is headed—and how businesses can position themselves for growth.
At Wildwood Plus, we work with manufacturers, integrators, and AV solution providers to craft effective, insight-driven Pro AV public relations strategies. If you’re attending InfoComm and looking to strengthen your messaging or explore new communications partnerships, we’d love to connect.
