Videoconferencing & Telepresence

Visual Communications in China:
Navigating the Crossroads

China is at a crossroads. The last twenty years have seen a predominantly rural nation become a global manufacturing center and enter into the information age. At the same time, we have seen the private sector grow to account for over half of the country’s gross domestic product (GDP). This report considers the way that these trends are playing out within the Chinese market for rich media conferencing solutions. The report also profiles the top 15 vendors, provides an analysis of their China market strategies, and ends with a detailed five-year forecast for videoconferencing endpoints and MCUs as well as web conferencing client/server solutions in mainland China.
