TV Market Share


Over the last decade, we’ve seen flat screen TV prices go from over $1000 to $500 for a 50 inch TV.

Global market share is led by Samsung in South Korea with 20.2% and LG Electronics in South Korea with 12.1%

This statistic shows the global TV market share held by LCD TV manufacturers from 2008 to 2017 (measured from shipments). In 2017, with respect to LCD TV shipments, Samsung held a worldwide TV market share of 20.2 percent.

In 2017, Samsung was the market leader in the manufacture of LCD TVs in terms of its share of global shipments. The South Korean company held over 20 percent of worldwide LCD shipments in 2017, eight percent more than the share of its closest competitor, LG Electronics. As a result of Samsung’s continued success in this market, as well as its significant share in the 
smartphone market, the company’s global revenue exceeded 200 billion U.S. dollars for the first time in 2013.

Although Sony remains amongst the largest LCD manufacturers, it has seen its market share more than halve from 13.7 percent in 2008 to 5.6 percent in 2017. Yet LCD TVs remain a key segment, which was the 
second largest sector for Sony in its consumer electronics business segment.

Sales of LCD TVs worldwide were worth 106 billion U.S. dollars in 2016, a figure that is projected to fall to 102 billion dollars by 2017. Asia/Pacific was the largest market for LCDs as over 74 million units were expected to be sold in the region in 2013 China alone accounted for 42.5 million of these units. This meant that almost 20 percent of all LCD TVs sold worldwide throughout the year were sold in China. North America was the second largest market for LCDs as 41.8 million units were sold there in 2013, 33.7 million of which were purchased in the United States.

Flat screen TVs are made in Mexico for the US market. If the manufacturing process could be automated, we could make these in the US.
