CE Pro publishes a brand analysis report that is used by the top 100 custom integrators in the United States every year-"2020 CE PRO BRAND LEADERS". The data for this annual ranking is mainly taken from the top 100 companies in the industry by revenue. They count the number of applications of different brands, analyze and summarize them, and are relatively objective. This year's list has 66 categories, and AV China compiles some of them for reference by domestic practitioners.
2020 CE PRO BRAND LEADERS
A brief analysis of audio rankings
Wireless speaker
audio amplifier
Control4/Triad topped the list, and SnapAV/Autonomic ranked second. SnapAV has just left the Autonomic brand, so it's interesting to see how the data changes. Sonos maintained a solid third place.
Brief analysis of video rankings
Flat screen tv
Sony and Samsung have once again become the leaders in the display category. With the increasing popularity of the outdoor AV industry, SunBrite may surpass LG in the future.
Projectors
The only difference from the past few years is that JVC has surpassed Digital Projection and ranked third. Although Sony, Epson and JVC provide a series of price points, it is worth noting that dealers also rely on high-end product lines DPI and Barco Residential. BenQ has 12 dealers and just missed the top five.
