Global HDTV Market 2014-2018 with LG Electronics, Samsung Electronics, Sony, TCL & Toshiba Dominating
M2 - Fri Jul 11, 3:04AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/pfsgkh/global_hdtv) has announced the addition of the "Global HDTV Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global HDTV market will grow at a CAGR of 3.84% to 2018 The growth of the Global HDTV market is driven by the decline in the prices of HDTVs, which was attributed to the low cost of LCD panels. The low price of HDTVs attracts first-time buyers, especially those in emerging regions. Availability of TVs with a large screen and high resolution in the market is encouraging existing customers to make new purchases. The emergence of Chinese players poses a threat to well-established South Korean and Taiwanese players. Chinese players such as China Star, Nanjing CEC-Panda LCD Technology Co. Ltd., and BOE Technology Group Co. Ltd. have surpassed one million unit shipments of LCD TVs per month. They are investing heavily in their facilities to enhance their production capacity. The Chinese government is supporting these players by increasing the import duty on LCD TVs, which has resulted in an increase in the price of other brands. Further, the report states that the emergence of low-cost manufacturers from China is one of the major challenges faced by HDTV companies. With the availability of highly skilled LCD manpower and subsidies from the government of China, the Chinese players are able to manufacture low-cost LCD TVs and sell them at a lower price than their competitors in the international market. This results in a decline in the sales and profit margins of international manufactures such as Samsung and LG. The following are the minimum attributes for HDTV: - 1080i- 1920X1080i (1080 interlaced) - 720p- 1280X720p (720 progressive) Key Vendors - LG Electronics Inc. - Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. - Sony Corp. - TCL Corp. - Toshiba Corp. Other Prominent Vendors - Funai Electric Co. Ltd. - Haier Electronics Group Co. - Hisense Electric Co., Ltd. - KONKA GROUP CO.,LTD - Onida Electronics - Panasonic Corporation - Philips - Seiki Digital - Sharp Corp. - Sichuan Changhong Electric Co., Ltd - Skyworth Digital Holdings Limited - Videocon Industries Ltd. - Westinghouse Digital - Vizio Inc.
