Market Overview:

The global interactive whiteboard (IWB) market size reached USD 5.6 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 9.4 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.72% during 2025-2033. The growing application in educational institutes, increasing need for interactive learning, and rising adoption of smart devices represent some of the key factors driving the market.

An interactive whiteboard (IWB), also known as a smartboard, refers to a digital device that comprises various technologies, such as infrared, resistive, capacitive, and electromagnetic. It relies on a computer, projector, and liquid crystal display (LCD) to run effectively. It is flexible, simple, easy to use, cost-effective, convenient, and has easy mobile connectivity compatibility. It is widely available in various sizes, designs, shapes, and additional features to attract a wide consumer base. It can be used by touching a screen with a special pen or with a hand rather than a mouse, while allowing students to draw, write text, make notations on images, and add math equations. It assists in digitizing tasks and operations and can be employed to project files and manipulate them on a board surface and share messages in real-time. Besides this, it aids in improving productivity, offering an enhanced experience to students, and encouraging engagement while making the learning process enjoyable. As a result, IWB finds applications in classrooms, educational institutes, and corporate offices across the globe.
