Linda Norton, Vice President at PMA Research (formerly Pacific Media Associates) told LinkedIn group members, “We are very optimistic in looking at stand-alone Pico and Personal projectors. The market has grown exponentially. In 2008, less than 100,000 units sold. In 2012 it reached 850,000 and we are forecasting more than a million for 2013. That's not including units embedded in phones and cameras.”
She added they are not yet as feature-packed as the ultra-short -throw business and education models, but pico and personal are certainly being embraced by road warriors doing small group presentations.
