South Africa Pro AV Market Trends:

Demand Grows Across Learning Spaces

Interactive learning environments are becoming standard across many South African educational institutions. Moreover, audio-visual tools are no longer limited to elite schools public and private institutions alike are allocating budgets toward smart boards, projectors, video walls, and centralized AV systems. This change supports the broader South Africa Pro AV market growth, especially as digital learning programs continue to expand in both basic and higher education. In recent months, tenders have been issued for smart classroom installations in rural districts, aiming to bridge the technology gap between urban and non-urban areas. AV companies are also seeing increased requests for maintenance and cloud-based management platforms to reduce downtime and IT overhead. Local manufacturers are beginning to collaborate with education departments to supply scalable, durable products that suit the region’s infrastructure challenges. Furthermore, with digital skills now a national development priority, AV integration is being seen as part of long-term capacity building across the education system.

Offices Embrace Hybrid Collaboration Tools

Meeting spaces are being redesigned across many South African companies, with hybrid collaboration becoming the standard rather than the exception. In addition, AV upgrades in boardrooms, huddle rooms, and co-working hubs include large-format displays, wireless presentation systems, advanced microphones, and real-time cloud integration. This shift is driven by productivity goals and the need to stay compatible with remote clients and partners. Since late 2024, local distributors have reported rising interest in bundled AV solutions that combine hardware, software, and long-term service contracts. In cities like Cape Town and Durban, tech parks and shared office providers are investing in multi-room AV infrastructure that supports remote access, automation, and content distribution. Flexible installation options and power-efficient designs are now influencing purchasing decisions, with sustainability teams involved in AV planning discussions. As companies revisit their office strategies post-pandemic, AV investments are shifting from optional upgrades to essential assets. Furthermore, enterprise clients are prioritizing ease of use, remote support, and future-proofing—pressuring integrators to offer customizable packages suited to fast-moving business environments.
