Cinema Modernization Programs Drive the US Laser Projection Market Toward $8.9 Billion by 2035

Published: Jan 2026

US laser projection market reached a value of $4.7 billion in 2025 and is forecast to grow to $8.9 billion by 2035, recording a CAGR of 6.6% across the 2026 to 2035 period. The US laser projection market is being driven by a broad, multi-year modernization cycle among major cinema exhibitors, as operators replace aging lamp-based digital systems with higher-performance laser technologies. Laser projection is increasingly viewed as a foundational upgrade rather than a premium add-on, supporting brighter images, improved color reproduction, and more consistent presentation across large theatre estates. These upgrades are closely tied to premium-format strategies and long-term operational efficiency goals, making laser projection a central element of capital investment plans across the US exhibition landscape.

This shift is supported by clear deployment momentum and capital commitments from leading exhibitors. According to Cinema United’s 2025 report, AMC Theatres had 2,562 US auditoriums equipped with laser projection by the end of 2024 and plans to double or triple this number over the next seven years. AMC’s “Laser at AMC” initiative targets 3,500 US auditoriums through an exclusive partnership with Cinionic and forms part of a broader global investment program of $1 billion to $1.5 billion over four to seven years focused on premium auditorium upgrades. Beyond AMC, large-scale laser conversions are underway across regional and national chains, reflecting a structural shift away from xenon-based systems toward laser as the new standard for cinema projection in the US.
