In relation to connectivity, the survey figure is consistent with the connectivity study in Colombia which, according to the latest report of the Ministry of Information and Communications Technologies, at the end of the third quarter of 2018, the country reached a total of 31.01 million broadband Internet connections.
With reference to the Audio and Video industry, and according to the market study "Panorama of the professional audio and video industry (Pro AV) and trend analysis IOTA 2017, produced by AVIXA, in collaboration with IHS Markit, Colombia as an important player in the region, is an important part of the growth of this business in the Americas. According to this study, growth is forecast for this market that can reach USD 83 billion by 2022 in the region.
Wanting to inquire about the consumption trends of Colombian households, the InfoComm Colombia survey reveals that 45.3% of its respondents say that it is the audio and video solutions that they are most inclined to, while 42.2% of them highlight that they are home automation applications, followed by IP telephony applications.
This trend, which is becoming increasingly popular, thanks to the massification and cost reduction of solutions such as audio, lighting and video surveillance, has been enhanced by the Hand of the Internet of Things because in the Colombian market are already everyday, smart refrigerators, interactive screens and all kinds of applications to control the home remotely, even from the cell phone.
According to Víctor Alarcón, director of the organization in the country, "this survey offers a panorama that we can already validate first-hand within the framework of the InfoComm Colombia 2019 fair, which this year celebrates 10 years in the country, and which constitutes the best reference in this industry by bringing together the most important manufacturers, distributors, engineering firms, rental firms, integration and installation contractors, as well as end users."
