End of Sony Home Projector Sales in Europe

Sony has officially confirmed the suspension of sales of its video projectors in Europe, including the United Kingdom. The decision affects both home cinema models and installation projectors. Sales will end when current stock levels are depleted.

The reason for the decision is new legal regulations

In an official statement, Sony explains that the decision was influenced by changes in European export and trade laws.

“To ensure compliance with applicable laws, including the latest European regulations on export controls and trade restrictions, we have made the unavoidable decision to discontinue the sale of Sony projectors in Europe after current stocks are sold out,” the company announced.

Sony emphasizes that it remains committed to complying with the law and responsible business practices. Work is currently underway with trade partners to conduct the withdrawal process with minimal inconvenience to customers.

Sony projectors will still be available outside of Europe

Sony is withdrawing its projectors from Europe, but sales will continue in other regions of the world – at least until local regulations change. This decision could significantly impact the European projector market. Home theater enthusiasts will now have to look for other solutions. Will Sony ever return to Europe? For now, the company is not revealing its plans.
