Samsung's dominance in the global TV market continued in the first quarter of this year. In addition, it managed to achieve a record share in terms of sales for this quarter, which was 32,9%. This was reported by the marketing-research company Omdia.
LG finished in second place with a great distance, with a share of 19,2%, and Sony, with a share of 8%, rounds out the top three largest TV manufacturers.
In the segment of premium TVs, which includes smart TVs sold at a price higher than $2 (roughly 500 crowns), the difference between the three is even greater - Samsung's share in this part of the market was 52%, LG's was 46,6%, 24,5% and at Sony 17,6%. Samsung also ruled in the segment of TVs with a size of 80 inches and larger, where it "bite" a share of 52,4%.
The QLED TV segment saw 74,3% year-on-year growth in the first quarter, with global sales reaching 2,68 million. By far the biggest player here was, unsurprisingly, Samsung again, which managed to sell over 2 million QLED TVs in the period in question.
The South Korean tech giant has been the undisputed number one in the TV market for 15 years, and it doesn't look like that's going to change in the foreseeable future.
