Epson’s worldwide market share for projectors have increased consistently over the last 17 years to maintain its continued dominance.
Within Southeast Asia, Epson continues to maintain market leadership, with market share increasing to 36 percent in 2017 from 34 percent in 2016.
Epson continues to dominate the Malaysian market as the number one brand, with 43 percent market share for 2017.
A key factor to Epson’s continued dominance is in its continuous innovation where new launches in Southeast Asia include the launch of its new retail, education and corporate projectors, which are the EB-S/X/W/U series, EB-900 series and EB-2000 series respectively.
The new launches also include the launch of its first 15,000 lumens high brightness laser projector, EB-L1755U and the launch of its home cinema projector, EB-TW5650 contributed to its growth in the home projector segment.
At the heart of Epson’s projectors is its proprietary 3LCD technology, which enables Epson projectors to deliver the most vibrant and true-to-life images with up to three times higher colour brightness compared to 1-chip DLP projectors in the market.
Epson’s vertically-integrated business model means the company creates its own core technologies and manufactures and sells its finished products, maintaining control over the whole process and ensuring quality down to the smallest detail in the manufacturing of its projectors.
With its new spotlight projector for the retail and hospitality sector, Epson continues to innovate its projector offerings for its range of business, interactive and high brightness projectors.
Epson also pushes the projectors into new sectors, catering across segments from corporate, to education and rentals and staging venues.
“We aim to be at the forefront of innovation and research, and to maintain our position as a market leader.
“Last year, we continued to deepen our strengths in the corporate and education sectors with our innovative projectors that can rival flat panel displays, as well as with our high-lumens high brightness projectors.
“We will continue to continuously engage our partners and customers and deliver our innovative solutions to our markets,” said Danny Lee, director, Sales & Marketing of Epson Malaysia.
