AI, intelligent workplace ecosystems and hybrid work modernisation will reshape enterprise collaboration through 2030
SAN ANTONIO, Texas – 23 July 2026 – Frost & Sullivan’s latest Global Video Conferencing Devices Market, Forecast to 2030 reveals that enterprise video collaboration is entering a new phase of evolution, with artificial intelligence transforming video conferencing devices from standalone meeting hardware into intelligent workplace platforms that improve productivity, automate workflows and enhance business outcomes.
Following the rapid expansion of collaboration technologies during the pandemic, the market has entered a period of normalisation. Future growth will increasingly be driven by workplace modernisation, AI adoption, device refresh cycles and the growing importance of software ecosystems rather than hardware specifications alone.
“As enterprises accelerate AI adoption, video conferencing devices are evolving from room hardware into strategic workplace platforms, making AI-enabled meeting environments a key driver of better business outcomes,” said Roopam Jain, Information & Communications Technologies Vice President at Frost & Sullivan.
“Our research finds that organisations are increasingly prioritising workplace effectiveness over simple occupancy metrics, while AI-enabled meeting rooms are becoming operational hubs capable of capturing meeting intelligence, generating summaries, assigning actions and integrating directly into enterprise workflows,” Jain added.
Competitive differentiation is also shifting rapidly. Rather than evaluating devices solely on camera resolution or audio quality, enterprises are increasingly selecting vendors based on ecosystem capabilities, including interoperability, cloud integrations, centralised management, workplace analytics, automation and sustainability.
The report forecasts continued long-term growth as organisations invest in AI-enabled collaboration environments that support hybrid work, intelligent workplaces and digital transformation initiatives.
