Barco reaches 50,000 digital cinema projectors worldwide

One of the most booming countries is China, where the Belgian manufacturer already has 60% of the market share in digital projection.

Since Barco announced the launch of its first digital cinema projector in 2000, there are now more than 50,000 devices for projecting digital video that Barco has installed all over the world. From 2K to 4K, through an evolution of 3D high frame technology, Barco has expanded its activity in numerous markets. Among them, China and Asia Pacific (APAC) stand out.

One of the important factors for Barco's growth has been its expansion in China and countries in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region. Barco has 60% of the digital cinema market in China, together with CFG Barco Electronics, a partnership with the China Film Group. Precisely, Barco has just signed with China Film Group for the delivery of eight hundred projectors.

As the market for digital cinema conversions is reaching a saturation point, the focus in facilities is shifting to new architectures. In this sense, Barco is focusing its attention on optimizing other areas of digital cinema with Cinema Barco Experiences, an initiative that seeks to enrich the cinema experience through added values ​​inside and outside the movie theater, interactive lobbies, immersive technology and interactive solutions that capture and retain the attention of movie fans.
