Laser Projection Market by Product Type (Laser Projector and CAD Laser Projection System), Illumination Type (Laser Phosphor, Hybrid, RGB Laser, Laser Diode), Vertical (Enterprise, Public Places, Cinema, Education), and Geography - Global Forecast to 2023
[145 Pages Report] In a laser projection system, projectors create an image by reflecting light through a small transparent lens. Also, some projectors can project the image using a laser light source. A laser projector is a device where the laser beam is controlled and scanned to produce the effect on a screen for various applications. Laser projection technology offers several advantages, such as fast and stable projection with a high repetition rate, optimized for 2D and 3D objects, high accuracy of the projection, and multi-projection system for huge and complex projections
Major factors driving the growth of the laser projection market are the significant advantages of laser projectors over traditional lamp projectors, increasing adoption of laser projection technology for various applications, and less maintenance cost/total cost of ownership. Rising demand for high-brightness projectors and growing demand for RGB laser projectors in cinema are expected to create significant growth opportunities for players in the laser projection market during the forecast period.
The laser projection market was valued at USD 4.57 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach USD 10.53 billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 18.2% between 2018 and 2023. The laser projection market has been segmented by product type, illumination type, resolution, vertical, and geography.
By type, the market is segmented into Laser Projector and CAD Laser Projection System. Laser projector is expected to lead the market during the forecast period
The laser projector is expected to lead the laser projection market between 2018 and 2023. Laser projectors are used in various verticals, such as enterprise, education, cinema, public places, and retail. The enterprise vertical creates a major demand for laser projectors. Demand for laser projectors is increasing owing to their low maintenance cost, less power consumption, and high picture quality. Demand for high-brightness projectors is increasing in cinema; the number of digital cinema screens is increasing in many countries, leading to the higher adoption of laser projectors.
Laser phosphor projector to dominate the market during the forecast period Laser phosphor is expected to hold a major share of the laser projection market. The market for laser phosphor is expected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Laser phosphor projectors have several advantages over lamp-based projectors; some of these are longer lifespan, reduced downtime, and lower maintenance costs. The long life and low maintenance of laser phosphor projectors make them ideal for high-use settings, such as boardrooms, classrooms, houses of worship, museums, and location-based entertainment venues. Also, there is increased adoption of RGB laser projectors, especially in the large-screen professional cinema application.
Laser projection market to grow at highest CAGR in APAC during the forecast period
APAC is expected to provide ample opportunities for the laser projection market growth during the forecast period. It is the leading region for cinema laser projectors, with major demand from China. The digital cinema industry in APAC has been dynamic over the past few years, with an increasing number of cinema screens in China and the focus on expanding cinema capacity and enhancing cinema experience by improving sound and projection system with high-brightness images.
Market Dynamics
Driver: Significant advantages of laser projectors over traditional lamp projectors
Laser projectors use a laser light source to project the image on the screen; these are less distractive to presenters. Laser projectors operate at a low temperature; hence, they do not require as much cooling inside the projector unit. Laser projectors also last longer than lamp projectors. The unit in most of the laser projectors can last for 20,000 hours (8 hours a day); therefore, it can be used for more than 10 years without maintenance. Laser projectors also have a greater contrast ratio than lamp projectors. Laser light source provides brighter, sharper images, consumes less power and produces less heat. Hence, laser projectors have become more affordable for various verticals, such as cinema, enterprise, education, and retail.
Restraint: High initial cost of laser projectors for a higher lumen
Laser projectors cost more; laser projection units cost more as well due to the newer technology. However, electricity and maintenance savings of a laser projector over its lifetime compared with a lamp projector make the benefits obvious. Many companies offer high-lumen projectors at a high price. The price of the projector varies depending on the lumen. Higher the lumen more will be the price of the projector.
Opportunity: Rising demand for high-brightness projectors
Laser projectors are used in various applications depending on the brightness and picture quality requirements. Laser projectors use a laser light source to project the image on the screen, and have a longer lifespan than lamp projectors. Laser light source also maintains its brightness, so the picture quality remains more consistent over the life of the projector. Major companies offering high-brightness laser projectors are Epson, Panasonic, Canon, and Sony, among others. In February 2018, Sony Professional Solutions Europe expanded its product portfolio by launching 5 new laser projectors with high brightness installation projector at ISE. These projectors are used in large venues, exhibitions, museums, midsized school or meeting rooms, auditoriums, and conference halls, among others. Most laser phosphor projectors are rated for 20,000 hours of use until they reach 50% brightness, whereas lamp-based projectors are usually rated for 2,0003,000 hours of use until 50% brightness.
Challenge: Operational challenges for low-end models
Operational challenges such as rainbow effect and light leakage during projection are likely to affect the growth of the laser projection market. These issues are prominent in low-end models and 1-chip DLP laser projectors. This provides an advantage for projectors based on other technologies, which can be used in applications such as education and business.
The rainbow effect occurs whenever there is a fast movement of images on the screen, or in case of rapid eye movement by the viewer while observing the image from one end of the screen to the other. The rainbow effect may cause a headache or other discomfort to the viewer. In addition to the rainbow effect, light leakage can create a gray bar on the projected image and spoil the projected image.
