2006 to Wind up With 24 Percent Increase in Front Projection Sales

In a new report by Pacific Media Associates, it looks like 2006 will show a 24 percent increase in front projector sales over 2005. The survey, conducted among North American resellers and retailers, indicates that the shift to widescreen and the introduction of 1080p units are the biggest growth factors. The research company expects 1080p to gain on 720p in 2007 as well. And 33 percent of the front projectors sold in 2007 will be widescreen aspect ratio.

Dealers reported that 25 percent of their sales in 2005 were to consumers, by the way. That was a lot for 2005. That percentage in 2006 should be interesting to see as more Pro dealers entered the home market.
