The global advanced cinema projector market is expected to grow from US$ 1,100.69 million in 2021 to US$ 1,861.33 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% from 2021 to 2028.

Rising demand for 3D projectors for commercial and residential applications with the growing implementation of digital technologies and increasing adoption of advanced technologies in cinema projectors are the significant factors driving the market. The market players are robustly concentrating on developing 3D advanced projectors that integrate laser phosphor and RGB laser technology. The advantages of these 3D laser projectors include low to no replacement or maintenance costs; precision color accuracy and stability; higher consistency brightness with an average laser source life of 20,000 h; greater energy efficiency; and consistent brightness over their life cycle. Some of the prominent market players who are indulged in developing these 3D advanced laser projectors are BenQ, Barco, Sony, and NEC. Thus, the rising adoption of advanced 3D laser projectors in cinema applications is expected to be a major trend during the forecast period. For instance, the production houses are concentrating on releasing the 3D versions of films entirely for China due to the emerging interest of the audience toward 3D movies. As per the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film, and Television (SAPPRFT), the Chinese government intends to have over 60,000 cinema screens in the country. Therefore, this increase in the interest of viewers in 3D movies, along with the growing number of movie screens, is one of the new trends witnessed by the market in APAC.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Advanced Cinema Projector Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has hit hard on several industries across the globe, thereby, decimating the demand for various electronics industry products. The electronics industry players have observed steep decline in their revenues in 2020, however, since the beginning of 2021, the companies have been witnessing notable positive growth in their product among certain countries. The cinema projector manufacturers also experienced decline in their revenues as the demand dropped substantially as majority of the cinema theatres were shut down by the governments to curb the spread of COVID-19 virus. This resulted in revenue loss among the cinema theatre owner, which in turn restricted them to opt for advanced projection solutions to enhance the customer experience. This parameter hindered the growth of advanced cinema projector market in 2020.
