In 2009, with China's education modernization progressing, the projector penetration in colleges and universities reached 30 percent, compared with 2008 an increase of six times. This undoubtedly becomes the best potential market.

The I2007 saw less than 3 percent growth compared with 2006 sales in the domestic market; and in 2008 compared with 2007 projector market sales grew by less than 1 percent. During the three-year period, the projector industry market sold 380,000 units increased the number of 570,000 units. In 2008, the projector market had a price reduction rate of 23 percent, while in 2007 the average price changed in the projector market to only 13 percent. The projectors market will see profitable fluctuations in 2009.
