At this time, it is a huge opportunity for the seller of the projector. The seller seized the opportunity and got a big order.

At present, "Benying" is the sales champion of the category of "projectors" in Alibaba International Station and AliExpress. At the same time, it also supplies goods to European and American sellers and exclusive stores.

In 2024, excluding the demand for office scenes, the sales volume of the overseas household projectors industry will reach nearly 9 million (Essence Securities).
After the "fall" of many hundred million level big sellers, other big sellers are more riveting force, seize the market gap left behind, and continue to eat new incremental markets.

The amount of 130 million yuan is very small compared with many big sellers, but it only accounts for a small part of the total revenue of Jimi.

However, there are still some problems in the large projector market for the majority of sellers.
Chinese brands are hard to sell at high prices, with a return rate of 15%
Liu Hao, a senior seller, said that the competition for projectors in Amazon has become very fierce. To do projectors in Amazon, you need strong funds, as well as strong marketing and after-sales capabilities.

For many small and medium-sized sellers, capital is the biggest pressure. Nowadays, the purchase price of many projectors is up to 500 RMB. If you want to send them for testing, 200 favorable comments are 100000 yuan, and 1000 are 500000 yuan. It is difficult for small and medium-sized sellers.  

In addition, projector sellers generally face these difficulties:
1、 Chinese projector brands are difficult to sell at high prices
Compared with the price of thousands of dollars of international brands, the projectors of Chinese brands and Chinese sellers are very affordable.
As a popular brand of Chinese projectors in the European and American markets (including some brands that have already been sealed), the product price is mainly below $100. The FANGOR company is between $100 and $200, and the middle price of $500 or $600 is only Xgimi, Nebula and Xiaomi.

Besides, at this price,Basically Chinese brands and sellersThere are few foreign brands.
2. The return rate is as high as 15%, and many people "collect wool"
Liu Hao, the seller, revealed to Blue Ocean Yiguan that the comprehensive return rate of projectors on Amazon was about 15%. Many sellers returned their projectors to "collect wool", often making excuses for poor quality and asking the seller to send another one.
Under the loose return policy of Amazon, there are many buyers who choose "refund without return", which is a projector.
On microblog, some overseas Chinese also collected the wool of Chinese sellers, often picking up a projector for nothing.

The prospectus of Jimi Technology also shows that Amazon has the highest return rate among many e-commerce platforms at home and abroad,It reached 15.49% (data from January to June 2020).

Part of the reason is that Amazon allows buyers to return goods for 30 days without any reason, and refunds when they confirm the return. This return policy is more relaxed than other platforms.
3. The average purchase price is 500 yuan, and the profit is not as high as expected
According to insiders, the average purchase price of a projector is about 500 RMB,If you want to write 200 reviews,That is 10W, 1000 is 50W, which is why small and medium-sized sellers are difficult to do projector market.
According to the financial report of the first half of 2021 of Jimi Technology, the company's operating income is 1.69 billion yuan, and the operating cost is 1.06 billion yuan. Moreover, the operating cost is mainly the direct material cost, accounting for more than 95%, which also shows that the cost of making projectors is very high.

Because of technical reasons, Chinese projector brands and sellers can only win by "low price". If the price is below 100 dollars, the profits of the sellers are generally very low, and they must rely on "small profits but quick turnover" to make profits. However, most of the sales are held by the head brands. Small and medium-sized sellers are difficult to achieve high sales.
4. Technical barriers, difficult to occupy high-end market
In the projector market, Japan and Germany are the leaders, and most of them are now making DLP projectors.
However, Chinese brands, because of their backward technology, can only do low-end lines, LCD projectors, and win consumers by "preferential prices", especially consumers with low purchasing power.
According to the feedback of some sellers, because of the immature technology, most projectors exported from China are ordinary, 70% of which are HDMI+USB mode, just a display device without intelligent operating system.
Therefore, it is difficult for Chinese brands and sellers to occupy the high-end market. The high-end and expensive projector markets are still in the hands of first-line international brands such as SONY.
Conclusion:In 2020, China's projection equipment market will have a total shipment of about 8 million units. Most of the production process of projectors in the world is completed in China. We firmly believe that there are still great opportunities in the projector market. We hope that the projector industry will continue to make technological changes and go overseas under the support of "China's intelligent manufacturing".
