San Juan Capistrano, California – July 23, 2024. PMA Research (PMA), the worldwide market information experts on large displays, have published their latest All-Displays sell-through tracking reports on large-format (32-inch and larger) flat panel displays and projectors (above 500 lumens) being sold by leading North American distributors who typically serve commercial markets.

The second quarter of 2024 finished seasonally strong with big gains in volume and revenues compared with the first quarter of this year. However, despite improvement in the second quarter, year-to-date sales remained behind 1H2023 with volume down 6% and revenues down 10%.

During the second quarter, an interesting pricing trend was noted in the PMA Research analysis. 86-Inch flat panel displays and 5,000-5,999 lumen laser-phosphor projectors achieved price parity.

In 2024Q23, about 70% of the volume sold through the Distribution channel was from flat panel displays, similar to the ratio for the past three quarters. Revenues remained at a 66%:33% split. Flat panel display revenues fell year-over-year despite volume growth because of aggressive price competition. Revenues for projectors fell less because of product mix changes, in particular, sharply higher sales in the 10000-14999L range.

PMA’s monthly Flat Panel Distributor Tracking report offers timely sell-through data and analysis on unit sales and market trends of large-format displays sold by leading U.S. AV and IT Distributors. These reports are ideal for tracking product and channel trends.
