There are an estimated 100–110 million connected digital signage displays in active use worldwide — a small but premium slice of roughly 3.6 billion screens overall. public
Start with the denominator. The world runs on roughly 3.6 billion screens: about 2.5 billion of them televisions, another billion desktop monitors. The TV figure comes from two independent methods — households × TVs-per-household, and shipments × lifespan — which land within rounding distance of Omdia's count of ~1 billion UHD sets in use. Connected signage is the smallest slice by a wide margin: Berg Insight counted 91.5 million displays in 2023, which interpolates to roughly 100–110 million today.

| Category | Central estimate | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Televisions | ~2.5B | 2.3–3.0B |
| Computer monitors | ~1.0B | 0.8–1.2B |
| Connected digital signage | ~100–110M | 90–120M |
| Total screens | ~3.6B | 3.2–4.3B |
Small, yes. Also the only one of the three growing fast. The connected installed base is compounding at 10.3% per year — to 149.4 million by 2028 on Berg Insight's curve — and the software-and-services market at 8.1%: from $28.8 billion in 2024 to a projected $45.9 billion by 2030 (Grand View Research). Few screens, premium dollars.
One definitional note that explains most disagreements between sources: Berg Insight counts connected (networked) signage displays. Add unconnected screens playing from USB sticks and the true number of "screens used as signage" is higher — but unmeasurable, which is why this page sticks to the connected figure.
