Pico Projectors Market: Key Drivers, Trends, Challenges, and Customer Landscape
The increasing integration of pico projectors in smartphones is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as low brightness and limited features of pico projectors may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Pico Projectors Market Driver
The increasing integration of pico projectors in smartphones is notably driving market growth. The pico projectors have been integrated into devices like digital photo frames, digital cameras, digital camcorders, laptops, mobile TVs, portable media players, and portable gaming devices. Pico projector-based products include Samsung Galaxy Beam 2, Aiptek ProjectorCam C25 Camcorder, and AAXA P4-X LED Portable pico Projectors.
The smartphone industry is the major end-user and will drive market growth during the forecast period. Vendors are launching pico projectors with technological innovations. These projectors are integrated with mobile devices for operability. For instance, Canon announced the launch of an MP250 wireless mini projector with smartphone mirroring technology. The projector has a built-in rechargeable battery and HDMI interface, which operates on the Android operating system. The projector requires a mobile device with Android 4.2.2 or later and projects 93-inch /images onto any wall from a distance of just 3 meters, making it ideal for homes, small offices, and mobile professionals. The launch of such projectors will contribute to the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
Significant Pico Projectors Market Trend
High adoption of embedded pico projectors is the primary trend in the market. The growing demand for small-sized flexible devices allows great demand for embedded pico projectors, enabling them to dominate the market. These projectors integrated into /image processing and electronic devices, such as smartphones, are likely to drive the market in the forecast period. Furthermore, the emergence of augmented reality and IoT are making embedded pico projectors an important platform in electronic devices.
Texas Instruments, a semiconductor firm, offers DLP Pico technology that the company claims is used in 8 out of 10 movie screens worldwide. These projector engines can also be integrated into smartphones and tablets. This is an embedded projector engine that improves /image quality with high optical efficiency, i.e., 20 projected lumens per watt of illumination power. The product also has a broad range of resolutions, i.e., 640X360 NHD to 1280X720 HD. Such development of technology will drive the growth of the market in focus during the forecast period.
Major Pico Projectors Market Challenge
Low brightness and limited features of pico projectors is the major challenge impeding market growth. Pico projectors are small, have limited light-emitting technology, and in most cases, are embedded in devices. It is difficult to provide high-power backups to support these devices. This results in low brightness of output, affecting the adoption of these projectors. This affects market growth adversely.
Furthermore, pico projectors have limited features as compared with traditional projectors. They lack certain standard features such as contrast, focus, and brightness adjustment. Some pico projectors have fixed contrast and focus settings and, therefore, must be placed at a distance from the projection surface to obtain the right focus. This will lower the demand for pico projectors and hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.
