Overview of the global home theater projector market
Technavio’s market research analysts predict the global home theater projector market to grow at a CAGR of around 8% between 2016 and 2020. The growing preference for a theater-like movie or gaming experience among consumers has led to the increased adoption of home theater projectors. Also, these projectors are portable and more economical than products like flat-screen TVs. One of the recent developments in the market is the growing demand for ultra-short throw projectors with high brightness. Also, consumers are opting for energy-efficient and eco-friendly projectors. Recently, Casio launched a new range of eco-friendly LampFree projectors that consume over 50% less electricity than regular projectors. Vendors have also introduced smart projectors, which automatically shifts to an idle mode when not in use, thereby saving electricity.
Geographically, APAC is one of the fastest-growing regions in the global home theater projector market. China, Japan, and India are the major revenue contributing countries in this region. The emerging middle-class population of the region with their increasing disposable income is the major driving force in the growth of the market in APAC. With the increasing procurement of expensive products, including advanced audio and video devices, by a large segment of the population, the home theater projector market in APAC will witness a huge growth rate during the forecast period.
