The global TV market is undergoing a rapid transformation in terms of display resolution. UHD TV is one of the most significant innovation that took place in the market space after FHD TV. The introduction of UHD TVs has influenced the increasing screen size of TVs and large-screen TVs are high in demand.

These inherent advantages of UHD TVs and increased vendor R&D are expected to contribute to the market growth.

The global UHD TV market is witnessing increasing strategic alliances between market players, which are expected to continue even in the future. Currently, UHD TV manufacturers worldwide are collaborating with UHD content providers to expand their business and improve their market share. Vendors in the market prefer the acquisitive route to broaden their portfolio of offerings. For instance, Samsung announced a UHD Alliance. TV manufacturers such as Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, and Sharp are involved in the UHD Alliance, along with content providers such as Disney, Fox, Netflix, and Warner Bros. The motive of this alliance is to provide superior visual content and increase the popularity of UHD.
