EPSON Epson Japan
LCD and DLP technologies dominate today's projector market, and the two have drawn a line in the projector industry. In 2016, the total market share of LCD and DLP projectors was about 99%, and only a very small number of LCoS projectors could get a share of the high-end home market. The first to apply LCD technology to projectors was Epson. Since Sony no longer supplies LCD panels, Epson has become the only supplier of LCD panels at present. In the global projector market, Epson has ranked first for 17 consecutive years, with a stable share of about 30%. In recent years, various manufacturers have launched 4K home phones, but Epson has not yet developed corresponding products. Therefore, in the category of home machines, manufacturers such as Epson and Sony have some gaps. However, in the field of business and education, Epson, who is deeply involved in it, still has a strong dominance. Epson's mainstream projectors are equipped with wireless functions, which can realize wireless screen projection and other functions. However, most models of wireless network cards are not standard and need to be purchased separately. The price competition in the business projector market is fierce, and the optional wireless network card is the sales model of the vast majority of wireless projectors on the market.
