The Need:

Due to the special requirements of the visualization and simulation industries, this is the one market segment where there has been a significant penetration of laser-based projectors in spite of the high price of the lasers. An evaluation of this market is needed to understand why lasers have been able to penetrate and to forecast the future of laser-based projectors in the visualization and simulation markets.

Report Objective:

The objective of this report is to apply the price, performance and system level knowledge about RGB lasers developed in the Laser Projection Report to the special needs of the Vis/Sim market segment. The analysis synthesizes key component and system-level price and performance information with a business and competitive market evaluation, to develop an understanding of the special value propositions offered by laser-based projection systems relative to encumbant or other expected solutions. The analysis is used to create a total Vis/Sim forecast along with the penetration of laser-based systems into the total available market from 2007-2011.

Highlights:

Descriptions of the key sub-markets within the visualization and simulation industries
BOM cost estimates for both laser and lamp-based projectors to serve these industries
Forecasts of the total revenues for these industries and key sub-markets in the industries
Forecasts for projector sales revenues to the visualization and simulation industries
Forecasts of the breakdown by projector technology (Laser, HID lamp and CRT) in these industries
Identification of the key players in these markets

The following graph is a sample of a figure from the forecast section of the market segment report.

This figure shows the total revenue of the visualization and simulation industries, not just the revenue from the sales of projectors.

The report contains 21 figures and 9 tables.

Other Market Segment Analyses

Eight market segment analyses for the market segments are planned to give details of the application of Laser and LED light sources in specific markets.

Pico-projectors, both integrated and companion (Completed April 2008)
Consumer RPTV (Expected completion August 2008)
Pocket & Ultra-portable Projectors (Expected completion July 2008)
Consumer Home Theater (Expected completion August 2008)
Business Projectors (Expected completion August 2008)
Heads-Up Displays (both aviation and automotive) (Expected completion August 2008)

Methodology:

The content of this report related to laser technology and pricing is based on the 2007 Insight Media Laser Projection Report. Additional research, including discussions with key players in visualization and simulation industries, added the specific vis/sim information in this market segment analysis. Markets were forecast by Insight Media based on inputs of the current sales of vis/sim systems and projectors for those systems and estimated growth rates. These Insight Media forecasts were then compared to other industry forecasts to ensure they were in accord.

Who Should Buy:

This report should be purchased by anyone designing, manufacturing selling or using projection systems for a visualization or simulation application.
The report is of value to people planning research, development or products utilizing laser illumination in high-end projectors.
Engineers and researchers involved in laser projection systems.
Investors looking for information to support due diligence.

Associated Report:

In addition to the main 2007 Laser report, there is a companion 2008 LED Projection Systems report (expected completion March 2008). There are 8 additional market segment reports as described above that document the use of lasers and LEDs in projection systems in their respective market segments.

About the Author:

The principal author of the 2007 Vis/Sim Market Segment Analysis is Matthew Brennesholtz.

Matthew Brennesholtz has worked in the display field since receiving his Masters of Engineering degree from Cornell University in 1978. He has worked on direct view CRT systems and projection systems based on CRTs, oil-film light valves, DMDs, LCDs and LCoS. In addition to system level work, he was involved in the design and testing of optical components for these systems. Currently he is at Insight Media providing consulting and other services to the display industry.

Deliverable:

Each market segment analysis is a separate PDF file. On-site presentations and discussions of the data in this report are also available.

Pricing:

Three Market Segment Analyses are included in the price of the 2007 Laser Report or the 2008 LED Report. The price for each additional segment is $1,500 USD for 2007 Laser and 2008 LED report purchasers.

The price per segment without purchasing the 2007 Laser or 2008 LED Projection Report is $2,000/segment.

All prices are for a company site license.
