A portable projector is a small, lightweight device that projects images, videos, or presentations onto a screen or wall, making it easy to use in different locations. It provides a convenient visual display solution with features such as wireless connectivity, battery-powered operation, and multiple input options, enabling flexible and smooth viewing anywhere.
The primary types of portable projectors are embedded projectors, USB projectors, and standalone projectors. Embedded projectors are compact, integrated devices designed for easy portability and smooth integration into different environments. They use technologies such as digital light processing (DLP), liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS), laser beam steering, and holographic laser projection, and are available in resolutions ranging from VGA and XGA to HD, Full HD, and 4K. These projectors are distributed through online and offline channels and are used in applications including home entertainment, business presentations, education, gaming, and outdoor events.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The rapid rise in U.S. tariffs and the subsequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are having a major impact on the electrical and electronics sector, with semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals (essential for batteries and motors) subject to steep duties. Consumer electronics brands face profit erosion, as competitive markets limit their ability to pass costs to buyers. Industrial electronics manufacturers, meanwhile, grapple with delayed projects due to shortages of tariff-impacted components like printed circuit boards. Companies are responding by relocating assembly to tariff-exempt countries, increasing inventory buffers, and redesigning products to reduce dependency on restricted materials.
