QLED/OLED TV shipments projected to break records this year

What They Say

TrendForce put out its view of the high end TV market, where brands will focus, and away from the small/medium set market because of supply side and profitability issues.

QLED sets are forecast to reach 11.02 million units, up 22.4% on 2020 while OLED TVs will reach 7.1 million, up 80%. Samsung will be up 17% to 9.1 million in the QLED segment with around 1.5 million miniLED sets. Of these, 17% will be 75″, 65″ will be 33% and 55% should see 30%. TCL will reach 800K miniLED TVs.

LG and Sony will share almost 80% of the OLED market (but elsewhere in the Trendforce report, it gives LG ‘more than’ 50% with Sony at 20%).

Total shipments will reach 220 million, up just 1.4%.

What We Think

The OLED growth is, of course, driven by the boost in capacity by LGD from Guangzhou. (BR)
