State of the AV Industry 2026

From Hardware Silos to Physical AI

A new data report from Xyte, based on real-world telemetry from thousands of enterprise AV environments.

Cloud adoption is no longer theoretical. AI is no longer a lab demo. This report shows what is actually happening inside modern AV estates and what the next two years will demand from manufacturers, integrators, and enterprise teams.

Why this report matters:

For years, the AV industry talked about transformation. In 2025, the data started to prove it.

The State of the AV Industry 2026 report draws from platform data, industry polling, and insights shared at the AV Cloud Summit to answer a simple question: How is cloud and AI changing AV operations right now, and what comes next?

This is not a vision piece. It is an operational snapshot of an industry at an inflection point.

Inside the report, you will find:

How fast cloud adoption is accelerating

Including year-over-year growth in connected tenants and devices under management.

Why multi-vendor AV is now the default

Nearly half of active environments now manage devices from multiple manufacturers, increasing operational complexity.

Where AI is delivering real value today

Monitoring, triage, and remediation are the first areas seeing measurable impact.
