The Global 3D Projector Market size is expected to reach $4.6 billion by 2025, rising at a market growth of 7.6% CAGR during the forecast period. 3D technology has become increasingly common in latest years. For 3D viewing, nearly every action-packed film is shot or has at least a few scenes for the same. Viewers can not only watch them in theaters in 3D, but can also watch them at home later on via DVDs or streaming internet. Even 3D devices are becoming cheaper and easier to access. While 3D was mostly restricted to televisions a few years ago, today most of the 1080p mainstream projectors intended for home theaters have 3D features. There are also quite a few 4K projectors sold with 3D capacity to provide a cinematic film experience that is on par with cinemas.

A 3D projector is an optical device, projects moving images (video) or still images to a screen / surface commonly referred to as a screen projection. Most 3D projectors project the picture by passing the light through the lens, but there are some 3D projectors that directly use lasers to create the picture. The experience of 3D viewing includes persuading the human brain to view the image/video from a different perception. This experience relies on the technology type; projector DLP, projector LCD, or projector LCoS. In cinemas, academic institutes, offices, and others, these 3D projectors are commonly adopted.

Based on Technology, the market is segmented into DLP, LCD and LCOS. In order to provide superior image quality, DLP projectors offer a higher contrast and minimal pixelation of DLP technology. DLP projectors offer easy maintenance and are one of the important features with sealed image mirror to keep DLP chip free from dust. DLP projectors are compatible with high-definition TV programs and high-definition DVD content, offering clear, sharp, and vivid images. These factors lead to higher DLP projector acceptance, which in turn drives market growth.

Based on Light Source, the market is segmented into Metal Halide, Laser, LED and Hybrid & Others. Based on Brightness, the market is segmented into Less Than 2,000 Lumens, 2,000 to 3,999 Lumens, 4,000 to 9,999 Lumens and 10,000 & Above Lumens. Based on Resolution, the market is segmented into HD & Full HD, VGA, XGA and 4K & Above Based on End User, the market is segmented into Cinema, Business, Education, Home Theater & Gaming, Events & Large Venues and Others. Based on Regions, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America, Middle East & Africa.
