3D Projector Market Drivers
Growing digitalization towards improving education sector:
Growing
digitalization towards improving education sector can be considered as one of
the major drivers for the market growth of 3D projectors. Several advancements
have been made in order to modernize educational training facilities including
smart learning for improve student’s engagement and communication capabilities.
Further from recent studies it has been concluded that opting for 3D
presentation study acts more effective compared to traditional methods, due to
higher benefits in learning and gaining student’s attention. With dependency on
video streaming, multimedia and many others growing over the years, adopting 3D
video presentations by the educators can serve as a better way of teaching with
higher efficiency and better results in the long-term. Deployment of 3D
projectors for offering 3D display learning help in increasing test scores,
improve knowledge retention, raise student’s attention and many more, acting as
the major advantages. Additionally, in the wake of COVID-19 pandemic, there has
been a transition towards online learning, eventually compelling the educational providers towards ramping up
their investments in digitally aided education approach, in order to improve operational
efficiencies, positively impacting the growth towards 3D projectors. In July 2020, a research study was carried on for studying use of
hologram technology across educational theatres within Egyptian schools or educational
institutions. Since educational theatre is considered as one of the
instructional methods adopted by the Egyptian Ministry of Education in the
school curriculum, use of advanced technology like holographic imaging can help
in improving spatial visualization due to its progressive impact on the
learning and cognitive development of children. However, this study concluded
that integrating 3D visualization technology within the curriculum needs to be
done by educators, as a part of notable investment, thereby anticipated to
propel the need for 3D projectors in the long run.
Increasing adoption for gaming applications drives the market forward:
Increasing adoption for gaming applications
is analyzed to be one of the major drivers in the market growth of 3D
projectors. With surge of high-definition video gaming majorly by the teenagers
and youth overtime, the need for 3D projectors is getting impacted
significantly. In comparison to television screens, opting for 3D projectors
benefit the users by offering high resolution images, adjustable screen size,
displaying capability on any surface, lesser eye strains and many others. In
October 2020, Optoma had revealed about its launch of three projectors, namely
GT1090 HDR, HZ3HDR and HD28HDR, particularly aimed for serving home theatre and
gaming market. These gaming projectors support 120Hz refresh rate and Blu-ray 3D, combined with
enhanced gaming modes to optimize gaming experience. Such developments are set
to drive the demand towards these gaming projectors capable of offering 3D
visualization. With advent of advanced technologies,
including augmented and virtual reality, various gaming companies have been
highly focusing towards developing high-definition AR/VR games with cutting
edge graphics to improve game play experiences. In December 2020, pair of Zynga
veterans had jointly launched a VR game studio in California, named ForeVR, which
will be focusing on the development of virtual reality gaming experiences for
all age groups and geographies. Such establishments to enhance virtual reality
gaming in the markets are analysed to create a positive impact on the demand

3D Projector Market Challenges
Growing adoption of substitutes such as LED screens or wall panels:
Growing adoption of LED screens or wall panels as a
better alternative for 3D projectors act as a major factor restraining its
market growth. With repeated usage, projectors tend to lose their display
brightness which acts as a major drawback, thus creating wider adoption of LED
screens independent of such issues. Owing to capabilities such as bright image
displays along with easy setup requirement of LED wall panels, it has emerged
as an attractive choice for serving applications be it billboards, store
signage and advertising, indoor displays, stage shows and so on. In addition,
3D projection is comparitively expensive than LED displays attributing to
difficulties in displaying deep saturated colours with less contrast. The main
issue which had helped gain LED displays wide popularity is the associated
maintenance or repair costs. Repairing a LED wall is easier with requirement of
only updating programming software and replacement of broken bulbs, while
projector displays need to be repaired under skilled expertise, resulting in
work delays. Since saving additional upfront costs associated with projection,
has been slowing down the adoption rates of 3D projections across small scale
or mid-sized organizations, hampering its market growth.
