The firm saw a 50 per cent jump in revenues during FY17, recording earnings of ₹306 crore, up from ₹200 crore in the previous year.
Epson has a market share of 27.6 per cent in the projector business (volume) in the country. The size of the projector market is estimated at 2.4 lakh units, with the price tag ranging from ₹30,000 to ₹70 lakh.
“Our global share in the number of units sold is 35.5 per cent. We would like to achieve a similar share in India too. We are expecting a volume growth of 10 per cent this financial year,” P. Satyanarayanan, Director, Visual Products, Epson India, told BusinessLine .
Though the Indian project market has over 50 players, about 70-80 per cent of the market is dominated by 5-6 players.
“The market is growing beyond the metros and top cities. The projector market sees ups and downs. After a lull, it is grew by 5.1 per cent last year,” he said.
