I. Portable Projectors: Opportunities Amid Structural Growth
The global portable projector market is embracing opportunities driven by structural growth. According to a recent report by Future Market Insights, the market size of portable projectors is projected to reach $1.9 billion by 2025 and is expected to grow to $3.7 billion by 2035, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8% during the forecast period.
The rapidexpansion of the market can be attributed to advancements in compact display technologies and the increasing demand for mobile visual solutions. Additionally, the widespread application across various sectors has further fueled the need for high-resolution, high-brightness, and energy-efficient devices. On the demand side, the "stay-at-home economy" spurred by the pandemic continues to influence entertainment habits in households across Europe and the United States. Meanwhile, the younger consumer demographic is increasingly seeking portable and personalized entertainment devices.
Within this global trend, China’s supply chain continues to play a pivotal role. Data shows that China accounts for approximately 62% of the global production of projection panels, with Chinese brands representing over 70% of the market share. Particularly in the field of LCD optical engines, Chinese companies have captured around 80% of the global market share, thereby securing significant pricing power within the industry.
II. Understanding Real Needs to Win Loyal Market Support
While the market exists, success belongs to brands that accurately address users' true pain points. Aurzen and Magcubic, despite differing in product strategies and target audiences, have both anchored their innovations in deep insights into users' core needs, achieving breakthroughs in their respective domains.
Aurzen: Redefining the "Pocket Cinema" Through Form Innovation
Launched in Shenzhen in 2022, Aurzen took a different path when most competitors were caught in a specs race. Adhering to the philosophy of "forward-looking innovation and leading demand," Aurzen revolutionized the very form of the product. Its debut model, the ZIP, the world's first tri-fold portable projector, completely reimagined the appearance and usage of traditional projectors. Compact like a foldable phone, it measures just about 2.5 cm thick when folded and weighs only 280 grams, easily fitting into a pocket.
Its unique Z-shaped design eliminates the need for a tripod, allowing instant use upon unfolding. It is particularly suited for vertical screen projection of short videos from smartphones, precisely catering to young users' desire for spontaneous and shareable social entertainment.
This futuristic innovation not only earned Aurzen ZIP an innovation award at CES 2025 in the United States but also sparked a consumer frenzy. The product achieved remarkable success on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter, raising over $526,000.
Magcubic: Democratizing Large Screens Through Accessible Technology
Similarly based in Shenzhen, Magcubic's success stems from its keen insight into market gaps and leveraging technology to address them. The brand identified an overlooked demand in the mainstream market: traditional DLP projectors overseas are often prohibitively expensive, making them a "luxury" for most consumers. Leveraging China's mature LCD optical engine supply chain, Magcubic introduced a "micro-innovation" with ultra-short-throw technology—pioneering LCD ultra-short-throw projection that delivers a 100-inch screen from just 25 centimeters away, perfectly suited for small living spaces.
To break the "luxury" stereotype, Magcubic adopted a consumer-friendly starting price of $60, allowing users to enjoy an immersive large-screen experience at an affordable cost. This positioning quickly ignited demand among ordinary households globally, particularly in emerging markets like Latin America and Southeast Asia. Its hit model, the HY300, once set a record of selling 20,000 units in a single day on e-commerce platforms like AliExpress.
The market performance of these two products serves as the best testament to the effectiveness of their strategies: both Aurzen and Magcubic consistently rank at the top of bestseller lists on mainstream e-commerce platforms and have long dominated the Best Sellers (BS) rankings in their categories on Amazon.
IHOMELIFE: Keep Up With the Pace and Innovate with Quality-Oriented Products
In the current market environment, we not only preserve classic models but also innovate with new designs, committed to creating projectors with the best value for money. In addition to our classic offerings, we have introduced new models to provide customers with more options.
III. Marketing Empowerment: Dual Drivers of Authority Endorsement and Social Media Resonance
Great products need to be seen, but even more importantly, they need to be trusted. Especially in the fiercely competitive technology sector, recognition from top-tier media and social platforms can significantly lower consumers' decision-making barriers and quickly establish brand credibility.
Authority Endorsement: Crafting a High-End Tech Image
Aurzen excels at leveraging authoritative voices to build trust. It actively collaborates with reputable tech media outlets like *PC Magazine* for product reviews and recommendations. Such media carry immense credibility among consumers, and their positive evaluations serve as a "certificate of quality," effectively reaching and influencing a large base of tech-savvy users who prioritize technical specifications and product reliability.
Simultaneously, Aurzen understands the exposure value of top-tier exhibitions. In 2025, the brand showcased its foldable projector at CES and won an "Innovation Award" for its forward-thinking design. This accolade not only garnered global media attention and industry authority endorsement but also systematically shaped a brand image that is trustworthy, premium, and innovative through a strategic combination of "in-depth coverage by authoritative media + recognition from top-tier exhibitions."
Social Media Engagement: Igniting Mass Purchase Impulses
Magcubic’s marketing strategy focuses more on direct integration with sales channels and localized scenarios. In terms of content, Magcubic launched campaigns like *#MagcubicMovieNight* on platforms such as TikTok, encouraging users to share scenes of creating ambiance with their projectors. The related videos amassed over 230 million views, with many users inquiring about purchases in the comments. By seamlessly linking with e-commerce channels like AliExpress, Magcubic converted social media traffic directly into sales orders, achieving a closed-loop of "content-driven engagement + instant conversion."
IV.Looking Ahead
The portable projector market continues to expand, but the window of opportunity will not remain open indefinitely. As more Chinese sellers with robust supply chains enter the fray, competition will shift from "who has the capacity" to "who understands me better." Only those who proactively build overseas media networks, deeply engage with user communities, and accumulate brand equity will emerge as the ultimate winners.
