LA JOLLA, CA — Global TV shipments declined 4% Y/Y in the first quarter of 2024 according to the latest research from Counterpoint Research, in collaboration with DSCC. Weakness was seen in all regions, with declines particularly noticeable in China and Japan. The figures are cited from the Global TV Tracker report, which Counterpoint Research co-authored following its acquisition of display specialist firm DSCC.
Samsung kept its global top spot with 16% market share and was also a top player in most regions as well. It also maintained the top spot in terms of revenue.
Hisense and TCL, each with a 10% market share, took second and third place, respectively, with Hisense exceeding TCL by a narrow margin. LG Electronics ranked 4th in the overall TV market but maintained its solid first place in the OLED TV market with a 49% share.
Associate Director at Counterpoint research Sujeong Lim said, “Although the TV market declined year-on-year in the first quarter of this year, it is an improvement compared to the sharp decline seen in the second half of last year. The upward trend of premium and large-sized TVs continues as we see strong growth in these markets. Samsung Electronics has the upper hand in these markets, so we expect it to benefit the most.”
Shipments of Advanced TVs also surged 15% annually in Q1’24. This premium market comprises advanced products such as QD, OLED, MiniLED and MicroLED TVs. In the advanced TV market, the shipments of MiniLED LCD TVs grew rapidly by 24% Y/Y, driving growth.
Research analyst at DSCC Calvin Lee commented, “MiniLED LCD TVs will continue to be one of the highest growing products within the high-end premium TV market this year.”
