The 2009 Report on Digital Projectors: World Market Segmentation by City

The 2009 Report on Digital Projectors: World Market Segmentation by City

This report was created for global strategic planners who cannot be content with traditional methods of segmenting world markets. With the advent of a “borderless world”, cities become a more important criteria in prioritizing markets, as opposed to regions, continents, or countries. This report covers the top 2000 cities in over 200 countries. It does so by reporting the estimated market size (in terms of latent demand) for each major city of the world. It then ranks these cities and reports them in terms of their size as a percent of the country where they are located, their geographic region (e.g. Africa, Asia, Europe, Middle East, North America, Latin America), and the total world market.

In performing various economic analyses for its clients, I have been occasionally asked to investigate the market potential for various products and services across cities. The purpose of the studies is to understand the density of demand within a country and the extent to which a city might be used as a point of distribution within its region. From an economic perspective, however, a city does not represent a population within rigid geographical boundaries. To an economist or strategic planner, a city represents an area of dominant influence over markets in adjacent areas. This influence varies from one industry to another, but also from one period of time to another.

In what follows, I summarize the economic potential for the world’s major cities for “digital projectors” for the year 2009. The goal of this report is to report my findings on the real economic potential, or what an economist calls the latent demand, represented by a city when defined as an area of dominant influence. The reader needs to realize that latent demand may or may not represent real sales.

What are the top brands of the home theater systems on the market?

I am not talking about home theater – in -a box (pre-boxed) systems like sony or panasonic that are usually under $500.

I am talking about the ones you usually put all the components together yourself. I have zero knowledge as to who makes the best home theaters systems.

It would great if you list down several brands and top websites that sell them.

What is the best home theater system there is in the market?

I am planning to buy a home theater system for my new house. I want nothing fancy but I want to get a good quality system and worth the price. Thanks!

Himfr.com reports the semiconductor market consumer equipment sales will drop 13% in 2009

According to market research firm IDC recently released study reports that in 2008 difficult macroeconomic environment led to decline in personal income growth and personal consumer spending levels dropped significantly.

This is for the consumer electronics market and semiconductor suppliers in this market had a significant impact. In 2008 worldwide semiconductor market in consumer equipment sales revenue was 42.9 billion U.S. dollars, more than 44 billion U.S. dollars in 2007, a decrease of 2.6%.

Although the overall semiconductor market in consumer equipment sales in 2008 declined, however, there is still growth in specific application areas. Digital TV and set-top box semiconductor market revenue grew by 7.2% and 10.6%. In contrast, DVD players / recorders semiconductor market revenues fell by 1.7%. Portable media players and video game consoles semiconductor market, sales decreased by 10.5% and 11%.

This new study, IDC report mainly analyzes the semiconductor market consumer devices the application of the five major areas: digital television, set-top boxes, DVD players, video game consoles and portable media players. In the “other” category also includes digital still cameras, digital video recorders, digital photo frames, personal navigation devices and GPS devices, digital home radio products, high-definition receivers, consumer projector, white appliances and various other consumer products.

Because there are five main application areas and many small applications, consumer semiconductor market is full of competition and diversity. The decentralized nature of this market for many large and small suppliers an opportunity. This market, the top 20 vendors accounted for the consumer semiconductor market share in less than two-thirds.

Toshiba ranked No. 1 in this market, the market share of 10.2%. Samsung Electronics ranked second in market share of 8.5%. Renesas Technology ranked third, the market share of 4.9%. STMicroelectronics ranked fourth, the market share of 4.6%. NEC Electronics ranked fifth in market share of 3.9%.

IDC predicts that in 2009 the global semiconductor market in consumer equipment sales revenue will continue to decline more than 13%, and then in 2010, a modest 1% growth. Future growth of this market depends on many factors, including more functionality into smart phones and other devices. This integration will reduce the number of integrated circuit devices. As the decline in consumer spending will remain the situation, the market in sales by 2013 will not be restored to the level before the economic recession.

Efficiency in the Projector Market

Efficiency in the Projector Market

Interview with Chuck Collins, VP of Commercial AV, DPI
Pro AV magazine

What makes a projector green?
Well, I think what makes a projector green is a variety of things, and foremost is probably consumption of power per lumen output. Second would be the materials that make up the projector’s internal components and chassis, as some materials are more recyclable than others. A third component would be long-term cost of ownership, as it relates to replacement parts and how efficiently the projector operates throughout its life cycle.

Do you see a lot of activity by other manufacturers in greening their large-venue projectors?
DP’s traditionally focused on large venue, and I would say in the old days that was about 8,000 lumens and up, and now it’s about 10- 15,000 and up, and we’ve always had a large variety of projectors in that market. Probably the most popular chassis in our product line is the 3-chip TITAN, and it was developed from day 1 with efficient materials and operation in mind. We’ve always believed in minimum wattage in and maximum lumens out. We still have some large-venue projectors that use Xenon lamps, and those are very very bright but short-lived lamps that are also very expensive, we have those in our product line at the upper end, but we switched over to metal halide a few years ago because they’re so much more efficient: they last longer and they’re a lot less expensive, and through some optics and some circuitry in our projectors, we can mimic the attributes of Xenon, but with the efficiency and affordability of metal halide. As far as other manufacturers, I think I can’t really speak for them, but we have noticed that our competition is starting to talk Green as well. DP was founded on creating efficient precision displays, long before efficiency was a priority. But the fact that every manufacturer is now discussing green initiatives is only a good thing for the industry at large.

What kind of things do you see them doing to green their projectors?
Some have followed our lead and switched lamp technologies, but few to none have supplied a comprehensive review of their overall recyclability and efficiency. We feel it’s important to be open and transparent in regards to the energy consumption and performance of our displays, as well as the construction materials we use. Of course, we’re very proud of how advanced our projectors are, so it’s an easier conversation for us than others. For example, early last year we published a comparative projector efficiency analysis based on the published specs of a few of the top projector manufacturers. We then followed this in Q2 of this year with a comprehensive recyclability overview for our products, where we found that the TITAN and LIGHTNING chassis, our large-venue chassis, are 95 percent recyclable. We’ve also just released a fully-automated cost of ownership calculator, available to the public, allowing anyone to figure the TRUE cost of ownership of any display as long as they have a bit of core information about the product. So not only the projector cost, not only the lamp cost, but the amount of power the projector is going to pull, consume, and cost. By setting our efficiency initiatives so high, we’re hopefully going to influence other less efficient manufacturers, leading by example.

Is there also anything being done on the manufacturing end, such as using recycled materials or monitoring carbon footprints or anything like that?
From our shipping containers to the tiny plastic connectors in our displays, we’re constantly analyzing how we can incorporate more recycled and recyclable products on every level of our manufacturing process.

Where do you see the large-venue green projector market going in the future?
Everybody is going to work on a more efficient method, and it’s not just a patriotic thing or to increase market-share sales type of deal, but I think we’re developing lower-cost alternatives to illumination. LED light, while it’s not the most efficient lighting method right now, I think in the near future it could be. Right now an LED will last 60,000 hours, so from that point of view, you’ll never have to replace a lamp again, which is great for the environment: no more Xenon gasses, no more metal halide gasses, or any of that. But it’s not as bright as we need it to be. Once it’s as bright as we need it to be, it’s going to be a complete package as far as greenness: it doesn’t use as much power; it doesn’t produce as much heat, so the room that the projector’s in doesn’t need to be as air conditioned. There’s all kinds of plusses to the technology, but right now it’s just not bright enough. But I absolutely see that happening in the future. When, I couldn’t tell you. But believe me, everybody’s working on the efficiency of lamps and greater efficiency of lenses as well, so they pass more light so you need less lamp in the first place.
