AV Trends 2025: What’s Transforming the Industry Right Now
Is your AV strategy future-ready?
Technology is moving fast, and so are user expectations. At E&E, we’re seeing firsthand how these trends are transforming the AV space and shaping the way we serve our clients across industries.
Here are the top five AV trends driving change in our industry, and how we help businesses harness them to create future-ready environments.
1. The Rise of AV-over-IP (Audio-Visual over Internet Protocol)
Gone are the days of fixed cabling and isolated AV systems. AV-over-IP uses network infrastructure to transmit audio, video, and control signals which brings flexibility, scalability, and cost efficiency to the forefront.
Why It Matters:
- Scalability & Flexibility: AV-over-IP systems adapt to evolving requirements without major rewiring.
- Reduced Costs: Streamlined infrastructure means faster deployment and easier maintenance.
- Better Collaboration: Supports seamless integration with conferencing and content-sharing platforms.
How We Make It Happen:
We incorporate AV-over-IP into many of our Audio Video Turnkey Solutions which allows clients to manage high-performance AV across multiple rooms, buildings, or campuses, all over a secure network. From concept to completion, we deliver scalable systems that grow with your needs.
2. The Surge in Demand for Immersive Experiences
Today’s audiences crave immersive and emotionally engaging environments, whether in retail, entertainment, or education. Technologies like LED displays, AR/VR, and 360° video are turning spaces into storytelling tools.
Why It Matters:
- Increased Engagement: Captivating visuals and interactivity drive higher audience attention and recall.
- Cross-Industry Applications: Retail, education, events, and entertainment are all embracing immersive formats.
How We Make It Happen:
Our Immersive Solutions and LED Display Systems help businesses craft experiences that leave a lasting impression. Whether it's a dynamic retail space or an immersive dome projection, we combine visual innovation with technical precision.
3. Unified Communications & Collaboration (UC&C) Solutions
With hybrid work now the norm, companies are demanding seamless, reliable communication tools that integrate conferencing, file sharing, scheduling, and more — all in one ecosystem.
Why It Matters:
- Interoperability: Teams need solutions that work across Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, and more.
- Intelligence Built In: AI-powered features like noise cancellation and smart switching improve the experience.
- Collaboration-First: Good UC&C is now critical infrastructure.
How We Make It Happen:
We design and deploy Unified Communications systems that simplify collaboration by integrating cutting-edge hardware and software to keep teams connected, wherever they are.
4. The Boom in Green AV Solutions
Sustainability has taken center stage. Organizations are investing in energy-efficient AV systems, low-power displays, and smarter installations to reduce their carbon footprint.
Why It Matters:
- Eco Compliance: Green initiatives are being written into tenders and corporate policies.
- Operational Savings: Energy-efficient systems reduce long-term costs.
How We Make It Happen:
From LED Display Systems with ultra-low power consumption to AV designs that minimize waste and maximize efficiency, we help clients align with sustainability goals without compromising performance.
5. AI Integration in AV Systems
AI is revolutionizing the AV landscape, from automation to personalization to predictive maintenance.
Why It Matters:
- Smarter Systems: AI helps AV environments auto-adjust based on room usage or user preferences.
- Operational Efficiency: Automated controls and intelligent routing save time and resources.
- Predictive Maintenance: Downtime is reduced through smart diagnostics.
How We Make It Happen:
Our Audio Video Turnkey Solutions increasingly feature AI-powered elements, including automated lighting and sound systems, smart conferencing tools, and adaptive control interfaces. We also integrate AI enhancements into Broadcast & Studio Solutions, Professional Sound Reinforcement, and Cinema Systems for an elevated user experience.
