A UK-based market researcher has released its latest projector sales report, highlighting growth corridors in residential applications where size, flexibility or spectacle matter the most.
In its latest front projector market report, Futuresource Consulting reveals that sectors such as high-end home cinema, education and projection mapping continue to show resilience despite a sharp decline in wider market volumes.
This comes with figures that point to a 24.5% year-on-year decline in total shipment value, although Futuresource expects the overall market value in 2025 to edge ahead of 2024.
David Thompson, lead market analyst at Futuresource Consulting, said: “Make no mistake, the projector market is under intense pressure from flat panels, LEDs and shifting buyer behaviour.
“But this story isn’t one of uniform decline. We’re seeing a sector in transition, where mainstream categories are contracting, but niche segments continue to deliver growth.”
Dedicated home projection shrank 25.9% in volume, though India posted growth in high-end models to offer a sign of resilience in select premium niches.
Ultra-mobile projectors suffered the steepest decline, with volumes down 58.8% year-on-year.
The installation and large venue (I&LV) segment grew by nearly 11% in Q2 by volume, driven by demand for affordable, high-resolution displays in education as well as pre-tariff buying in the USA.
In EMEA, countries including France and the UK recorded double-digit segment growth, while Saudi Arabia, Turkey and South Africa all saw year-on-year gains.
