Best Selling Education, Business and Home Projectors: May/July 2019 Summary

We are pleased to be able to share with you, recent business, education, and home projector sales tracking information, for North America, provided to us by PMA (more on them below).

Total projector sales in the first half of 2019 outpaced the first half of any previous year!

This summary provides a list of the 5 best selling projectors in the US, in these categories:  Mainstream professional projectors for business and education (1000 - 4999 lumens), higher power commercial laser projectors (5000 lumens+), Interactive Projectors, and 4K UHD Home Entertainment Projectors.  Below are the rankings of the top best selling projectors, in each of three categories, with results separate for May and July. This info is provided for us to share with you, by PMA.

CEDIA show for projectors

Projector Reviews is just back from CEDIA the largest US show for home theater projectors and other AV and home install equipment.  A number of new home theater and home entertainment projectors were announced, And several new projector - Laser TVs were demonstrated.

 

Pacific Media Associates (PMA) publishes what is typically a semi-monthly list of the best selling projectors in the Home Entertainment, Mainstream (Business) and 5,000-plus lumen categories (US sales only).

PMA has been doing this reporting since the 1990s, and the releases continue to provide our industry with valuable information.  They sell detailed information of their tracking to the manufacturers, which find the data useful.  We get a summary - a  top five, while paying manufacturers get virtually a unit by unit breakdown of most projectors sales numbers.

We combine their data to produce our summaries and comments for your information.

We've provided some links at the bottom of each list.  Those are either a review of the same projector as seen on the list, or a sibling - typically one with almost identical feature sets, except perhaps different resolution, or different brightness.  Any links will relate closely to describing the projectors making the PMA lists shown here.   -art
