Joon's Ko, Executive Director of Infocom Asia Pte Ltd, the organizer of InfoComm Asia, stated that in today's world, where artificial intelligence (AI) technology is rapidly advancing and business networking and connectivity are priorities, the professional audiovisual (Pro AV) design, production, and installation industry is experiencing fast growth.
This rapid growth is evident from business trend reports by the global audiovisual association AVIXA, which forecasts that the Pro AV industry worldwide will expand from 332 billion USD in 2025 to 402 billion USD by 2030. The Asia-Pacific region is identified as the key and fastest-growing market, expected to reach 151.4 billion USD by 2030 with an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.13%.
Currently, Thailand is in a decade of mega projects, reflected in the expansion of data center businesses, smart city development, convention and entertainment hubs, and large-scale construction projects. These developments benefit the domestic Pro AV industry, providing opportunities for it to become a regional leader in the Asia-Pacific Pro AV market in the near future.
Infocom Asia Pte Ltd, as the organizer of InfoComm Asia 2026, is pleased to serve as a connector between global professional audiovisual (Pro AV) equipment manufacturers, technology providers, and solution suppliers with buyers in the market, including audiovisual (AV) integrators.

The highlights of InfoComm Asia 2026 focus on showcasing in-depth innovations aligned with global megatrends and Thailand's digital economy development in four key dimensions:
1. Artificial Intelligence and Immersive Technology are transforming industries (AI & Immersive). This involves leveraging AI power to enhance immersive audiovisual technologies that create lifelike experiences, fully integrated with Pro AV and IT networks, significantly reducing organizational costs.
2. The Experience Economy trend emphasizes consumer demand for experiences beyond traditional goods and services, notably in the digital signage business valued globally at over 41.4 billion USD. This sector is evolving with new technologies that offer novel consumer engagement.
By 2026, trends will focus on smart display systems blending sustainability and energy efficiency, helping retail, brand, hotel, and large event businesses communicate interactively with their audiences, thereby attracting target groups and adding business value.
3. Smart Workplace and Intelligent Collaboration involve integrating smart systems to enhance workspace capabilities. This market segment sees the highest procurement and spending to accommodate hybrid work models.
4. The role of professional audiovisual systems in future business transformation (Cyber Readiness of AV/IT convergence). Currently, Pro AV technologies integrate audiovisual systems to enhance organizational performance in various activities, including cybersecurity and compliance with data protection laws such as Thailand's PDPA.
Additionally, InfoComm Asia 2026 will feature numerous engaging activities from domestic and international organizations, including events by the global audiovisual and integrated experience association AVIXA Communities in Asia, delivering premium knowledge and networking through the InfoComm Asia Summit seminars focused on technology trends, AVIXA Xchange Live experiential tech tours, and the launch of a special Education Sector Summit Program Track.
