The global pico-projectors market is predicted to reach USD 4.31 billion in 2024 and USD 8.48 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 14.52% during the forecast period.
Pico projectors are also known as portable projectors, a cutting-edge technology that comes with portable devices such as tablets, cell phones, and cameras. Pico projectors offer a simple way to project content from tools onto display surfaces like laptops, walls, portable projection screens, and airplane food trays. The Pico projector uses a laser or LED light, which eliminates the need to replace the lamp. The main segments of Pico projectors include integrated projectors and stand-alone projectors. The evolution of laser technology is expected to transform the global Pico projector market by reducing the size of projectors to portable projectors. These projectors can also be integrated into small portable devices and accessories, such as tablets, cameras, personal digital assistants, laptops, and smartphones.
The Pico projector modules are nowadays integrated into devices like digital cameras, digital photo frames, portable gaming devices, digital camcorders, laptops, portable media players, and mobile TVs, driving the demand for the projector peak. The increase in demand and the lower sale price are the other factors attributable to the growth of the market. The fact that consumers today use advanced technologies for their operations is also driving market growth. The use of flat panel displays is increasing in the coming years, thus acting as a limiting factor in the growth of the global Pico projector market. The fall in the average sales price and the increase in its applications are also factors that contribute to the growth of the market. With the rising call for flexibility from end-users, the limited functions of Pico projectors may affect overall adoption, hampering the growth of dialers. Fierce competition from flat panels is also one of the factors limiting the growth of the worldwide market.
Most digital light processing projectors include related chips that avoid the possibility of dust particles that can be a part of the projected image. In addition, DLP chips work without air filters, which reduces maintenance as there is no need to clean the filter. The applications for DLP chips like LED Pico projectors that fit in the palm and the size of a mobile phone are expected to contribute to the growth of the digital light processing chip market.
Digital Light Processing (DLP) uses a chip made up of tiny microscopic mirrors and a rotating color wheel to create an image. This type of chip is structured so that each pixel is a reflective mirror, which means that there are one to two (or more) million micromirrors in each DMD, depending on the resolution, expected display, and how the mirror tilt speed is controlled. DLP-type projectors offer sharp images without any filters and better response time, along with 3D capabilities.
The sale of electronic products is expected to be significantly affected by the COVID-19 outbreak, with China being a major supplier of raw materials and finished products. The industry is faced with reduced production, supply chain disruptions, and price fluctuations. The sales figures of several electronics manufacturing companies are greatly affected and will continue in the future, which will affect the worldwide pico-projectors market.
