Impact Analysis of COVID-19 on the 3D Cinema Screen Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to severe disruptions that have affected the demand for 3D cinema screens across residential and commercial applications. The pandemic negatively impacted major industries such as automobiles, retail, and consumer electronics.  Factory closures, travel restrictions, trade bans, and border closures to control the outbreak have all had an impact on consumer electronics manufacturing. . Demand for 3D cinema screens is expected to rise indefinitely owing to the increase in demand from the retail and commercial industries.  The pandemic has had a significant impact on the supply chain and logistics, which has had an indirect impact on the demand for 3D cinema screens. The COVID-19 pandemic brought several uncertainties leading to severe economic losses as various businesses across the world were at a standstill. The COVID-19 outbreak has also hindered the 3D cinema screen industry growth. The shutdown of significant film and television industries affected product demand. Similarly, the lockdown measures implemented by various governments around the world hampered the 3D cinema screen market. Reduced demand, as well as the closure of manufacturing activities, hampered the 3D cinema screen market share during the pandemic. In the post-pandemic period, cinema theaters all around the world were forced to work on partial sitting capacity owing to social distance restrictions. All these factors have negatively affected the 3D cinema screen market growth during the pandemic.

Global 3D Cinema Screen Market Analysis

The growing global demand for high-quality movies with better VFX technology to create visual experiences tends is expected to drive the market growth for the 3D cinema screen. To increase audience involvement, several multiplexes throughout the world have adopted 3D cinema screen and projection technology. There has been an increase in the number of movie watchers, which has encouraged filmmakers to be more creative and employ VFX to attract a larger audience. These are the major factors anticipated to boost the 3D cinema screen market share during the forecast timeframe.

 Mono-eyed persons cannot view 3D content due to the technology's operating principle, which requires independent pictures to be formed for each eye. People who have major discrepancies in perception between their right and left eyes cannot see 3D content.  Despite 3D cinema displays being somewhat less expensive they require extra infrastructure construction in theatres, such as seating arrangement adjustments. Also, for the best experience, viewers must be at a specific distance from the screen, and the display must span a wide field of vision to accommodate all spectator positions, resulting in unavoidable compromises with spatial or angular resolutions, which are expected to impede the growth of the 3D cinema screen market during the forecast period.

 Anaglyph is the most widely used 3D technique in 3D screens. The viewer needs to wear colored spectacles, usually red on one eye and cyan on the other. The most enticing feature of anaglyphs is that they are inexpensive to implement and the technology is global since anybody with normal eyesight can be able to see 3D in an anaglyph. While other 3D technologies need the use of two expensive projectors, anaglyphs simply necessitate the use of a single projector that displays the picture on a screen that may be watched by a wide audience. All these factors are predicted to create several growth opportunities for the key players operating in the market during the forecast period. 

Global 3D Cinema Screen Market, Segmentation

The 3D cinema screen market is segmented on the basis of type, application, and region.

Type:

The type segment is further classified into large screen and oversized screen. Among these, the large screen sub-segment accounted for a dominant market share in 2021. Large screens are used in theatres, conference rooms, or other similar settings. For instance, larger screens are often brighter, sharper, and have a greater resolution. This might reduce eye strain when watching the screen.  They can be fixed-frame screens like those used in traditional movie theatres, which conceal the projector equipment behind the screen, or integral projection systems, which project onto the surface. 

Application:

The application segment is further classified into residential and commercial. Among these, the commercial sub-segment accounted for a dominant market share in 2021. Commercial uses for large-screen displays include airports, shopping malls, and other public places.  The installation of a giant theatrical screen in an airport terminal is one of the most popular examples of a 3D cinema screen. These big are used by various brands to advertise their products or services and make a remarkable impact on the audience. These variables are expected to drive the growth of the commercial sub-segment during the forecast period.

Region:

The 3D cinema screen market in Asia-Pacific is projected to witness the fastest growth in 2031. Furthermore, China is a technological powerhouse, offering some of the most cutting-edge technologies for the 3D cinema screen industry, such as 3D polarized glasses, 3D projectors, and others.  The region's rapidly growing 3D cinema screen industry is probably being driven by an increase in the number of 3D cinema screens in the region, particularly in countries such as China and India. Also, the increase in the production of 3D films in the region is anticipated to boost the 3D cinema screen market opportunity in Asia-Pacific.
