The global projection mapping market size is anticipated to reach USD 8.0 billion by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 10.9% from 2022 to 2030. Projection mapping can be defined as a 3D video projection technique that uses colors and lights to project virtual images on non-flat surfaces or irregular shapes like city landmarks, industrial sites, public buildings, and several others. Projection mapping offers a unique opportunity to immerse and attract a large audience with inspiring spectacles and captivating shows even from a distance.
The market was severely impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The several regulations by the government for entertainment, tourism, and public gathering due to the pandemic forced people to stay at home. The industry suffered as major sports, and events were shut down for a long time. The pandemic also impacted the distribution chains of projection mapping manufacturers which resulted in the loss of their operations. The market is expected to benefit from the strategies adopted such as several developments, launches, and innovations by the market players in the projection mapping industry.
For instance, in December 2021, Barco appointed LANG AG as a preferred delivery partner for image and projection processing in Germany and Austria. The collaboration between both the company focuses on bringing the most innovative and best solutions to the market. Additionally, in December 2021, Vivitek announced the launch of DU9900Z, its new heavy-duty laser projector. It offers features such as warping and edge blending technology along with lens position memory and motorized lens zoom/shift/focus and is capable of 360-degree portrait projection.
