Popularity of E-learning Helps Market 

Fueling the global market for interactive whiteboards (IWB) is the increasing uptake of technology in the domain of education. Soaring popularity of e-learning and virtual learning is also helping the market. "Distance learning has become an integral part of the education industry as students cannot be present at all times in classrooms. This has spawned e-learning where students avail different online courses to study at their convenience. Teachers share materials with students using web-based services and students submit their work with the help of virtual folders and other interactive technologies.

Interactive whiteboards facilitate the process by providing a seamless experience to both teachers and students with the help of its large display, multimedia content, and easy integration and sharing capabilities," explains the lead analyst of TMR.

Emergence of Substitute Technologies Poses Major Roadblock to Market 

The main threat to the global market for interactive whiteboards (IWB) is the emergence and popularity of substitute technologies. The penetration of smartphones, laptops, and tablets due to their tanking prices is posing a major roadblock to growth in the market. They are increasingly used in schools as they can be easily carried around. A bigger threat, however, is interactive flat panels sold in markets. "The flat panels work without projectors, reducing the cost of maintenance and problems of connectivity. Moreover flat panels have a longer life than whiteboards," adds the analyst of the report.
