Mexico. In 2022 the audiovisual industry faced a difficult situation that affected the recovery of the market after the pandemic, the shortage of equipment. Many manufacturers took delivery times that could reach up to 12 months, in the most extreme cases.
For Ulises Hernández, Integrated Solutions Director of Encore Mexico, this situation generated a significant affectation, because "the execution of the projects took longer than it was before and therefore the recovery of project payments". And although the outlook is more encouraging in 2023, there are still longer delivery times than before the pandemic.
When asked about the sectors of the AV industry that are demanding more projects in their market, the executive indicated that hotels and corporate stand out, mainly with hybrid collaboration rooms in the case of corporate and high-format video systems in hospitality.
