Underscoring its leadership in the projector market, Epson America, Inc. today announced it continues to hold the number one position in North America for 2013. According to PMA Research, the worldwide market information experts on front projectors, Epson continued momentum in the market by growing its overall North America market share to 39 percent in units in 2013, representing a five-point increase year-over-year and the largest share growth of any manufacturer.

With positive revenue growth four years in a row, Epson had the largest total revenue increase in the North American projector market in 2013 with a 24 percent share, which represents a nearly six-point increase year-over-year.

LONG BEACH, Calif. – March 24, 2014 –  “2013 was a record breaking year for Epson® projectors in North America. Extending our number one position and growing our market share is a testament to the outstanding performance and benefits of Epson 3LCD technology,” said Richard Miller, director, Projector Product Management, Epson America. “This growth is also a great win for Epson channel partners who provide home theater, business, education, and house-of-worship customers the very best Epson projection solutions and deliver the ideal combination of brightness, performance and flexibility.”
