Research and Markets has announced the addition of 2006 Lamp Replacement Model to their offering.
This series of six excel spreadsheets provides a baseline forecast and 18 linked user groups over the entire projection industry to forecast UHP-type lamp replacement needs. The model can be customized for individual analysis and “what if” scenarios.
Key Conclusions:
This model represents pioneering work in the modeling of UHP-type lamp replacement needs for the projection industry. The sophisticated model approaches the market by dividing it into four segments and 18 user groups. Attributes are assigned to each user group to model characteristics of the lamp, projection product and usage, buying patterns and trends in alternative illumination and buying patterns.
The model is a bottom-up approach to estimating demand for replacement lamps and matches very well to our top-down approach profiled in the 2006 Projection Lamp Report.
Results derived from the model indicate growing demand in all major segments (Professional Front Projection, Professional Rear Projection, Consumer Front Projection, Consumer Rear Projection) – even in consumer rear projection where we estimate sales of new products will peak in 2008. Replacement lamp needs will continue to increase due to the long product lifetime of these TVs and the significant installed base.
The Need:
A lamp replacement module can cost a consumer $250 to $400 and there are literally thousands of different modules designed and manufactured to support the 4 major market segments. For lamp suppliers to carry even a fraction of this inventory represents an enormous investment. The Lamp Replacement Model can help to manage this inventory to reduce costs and write-offs of overstocked inventory.
Projection systems makers can use the model in a similar way to anticipate the lamp replacement needs of the intended user group and manage inventories, or provide better guidance on inventory management to stocking partners.
Finally, purchasers of the Lamp Replacement Model can customize spreadsheets and profiles for a wide variety of analytical tasks including “what if” scenarios.
The spreadsheets in this model are unprotected and none of the cells are locked. Therefore, the user of this replacement lamp model is free to:
- Establish their own categories
- Modify any of the properties of an existing category
- Change the total forecast for projection units
- Link the replacement model to external models of projector demand
- Re-distribute these projectors among current or new user groups
- Add additional parameters to the model
- Delete existing parameters
- Change the basic structure of the model
- Change the appearance of any of the figures or tables
- Create new figures or tables
A 21-page instruction book has been written to explain in detail how to use the model. To request a copy of this document please click on Enquire before Buying.
