Moreover, the market will continue its shift towards new technologies like Lazor Interactive/LED Interactive Android due to the low maintenance cost and superior technology. High-Definition (HD) projectors are replacing the Standard-Definition (SD) projectors due to increasing popularity among consumers. Out of the total shipment, almost one-third market is captured by 1024x768 display resolutions, followed by 800x800 resolutions.

Apart from all these flagship players, Canon which has recently entered the category is expected to emerge as a big player in future said Anita Patil, Research Analyst with Actual Market Research. The company, which has launched nine LV and XEED series projectors, is targeting Rs. 100 crore revenue by 2017. It has tied up with Ingram Micro as the national distributor for its mass products and will partner with AV integrated solution providers for high-end projectors. Moreover, the company will also be using its own retail stores ‘Canon Image Square’ to sell its projectors. Aggressive marketing and distribution strategy coupled with a well-know brand image will push the sales of these projectors, said Anita.
