Despite a conservative turn for the French economy, the country’s DOOH market recorded growth throughout the year. 90% of companies surveyed said that they were satisfied with their business, or rate the business climate as positive. 55% expect an even better situation to develop in the first half of 2015.
France’s most important vertical market for DOOH is retail, which generates 22% of all digital signage revenues. Corporate communications and banking follow.
