2007 Cinema and Large Venue Market Segment Analysis

 

A study of the use of lasers as an illumination source for projection systems used for electronic cinema

and other large venue applications.

 

Insight Media has just released the 2007 Cinema and Large Venue Market Segment Analysis.  This 33-page market segment analysis, written by Insight Media Senior Analyst, Matthew Brennesholtz, is priced at $2000, if purchased as a stand-alone report.  See additional pricing options below.

 

The Need:

Cinema and large venue projectors represent an attractive market to companies interested in lasers as light sources for projection displays.  The relatively high prices of projectors sold into these markets can tolerate the high laser prices and a few laser-based projectors are sold even at current prices.  It is necessary to understand the current state of these markets plus their future directions in order to plan a laser strategy.

 

Report Objective:

The objective of this report is to apply the price, performance and system level knowledge about RGB lasers developed in the Laser Projection Report to the special needs of the large venue and digital cinema market segment.  The analysis synthesizes key component and system-level price and performance information with a business and competitive market evaluation to develop an understanding of the special value propositions offered by laser-based projection systems relative to incumbent lamp-based solutions.  The analysis is used to create a total large venue and digital cinema forecast along with penetration of laser-based systems into the total available market from 2007-2012.


Highlights:

  • Descriptions of the key markets within the digital cinema and large venue industries.

  • Identification of the key requirements for projectors for large venue and digital cinema applications.

  • BOM cost estimates for both laser and lamp-based projectors to serve these industries.

  • Forecasts of the total projector unit sales to these industries.

  • Forecasts for projector sales revenues to the digital cinema and large venue industries.

  • Identification of the key players in these markets

 

The complete Table of Contents is shown below.

 

The following graph is a sample of a figure from the forecast section of the market segment report.

 

 

This figure shows the expected average selling price (ASP) for lamp-based projectors sold into the large venue and digital cinema markets.

 

The report contains 11 figures and 10 tables.

Methodology:

The content of this report related to laser technology and pricing are based on the 2007 Insight Media Laser Projection Report.  Additional research, including discussions with key players in the large venue and digital cinema industries, added the specific information on these markets to this market segment analysis.  Markets were forecast by Insight Media based on inputs on the current sales of projectors into those markets and estimated growth rates.  These Insight Media forecasts were then compared to other forecasts of the industry to ensure they were in accord.

 

Who Should Buy:

      • This report should be purchased by anyone designing, manufacturing selling or using projection systems for a large venue or digital cinema application.
      • The report is of value to people planning research, development or products utilizing laser illumination in high-end projectors.
      • Engineers and researchers involved in laser projection systems.
      • Investors looking for information to support due diligence

 

Associated Reports:

In addition to the main 2007 Laser report, there is a companion 2008 LED Projection Systems report to be available March 2008.  There are 8 additional market segment reports as described above that document the use of lasers and LEDs in projection systems in their respective market segments.

 

About the Author:
