According to reports, the latest research report of the WitsView Optoelectronic Research Center (WitsView) shows that in 2017, global LCD TV brand shipments were 210 million units, a 4.1% annual decrease. Looking ahead to 2018, driven by factors such as significant panel price reductions and rising demand, WitsView estimates that global LCD TV brand shipments will stop rising to 218 million units, an annual increase of 3.9%.
Yang Qingxiang, research associate manager of WitsView, pointed out that panel prices began to reverse in the second quarter of this year. So far, the average price has dropped by more than 17%, coupled with the promotion of China ’s Double Eleventh Festival promotion and the preparation of Black Friday in Europe and the United States With continued strength, the brand also hopes that this momentum will continue into the Spring Festival next year. And next year's Winter Olympics, the North American Super Bowl and the World Football Championships and other large-scale sports events, is also expected to continue to heat up the television market.
Samsung Electronics continued its profit-oriented strategy in 2017. In addition to pushing high unit price QLED TVs in the high-end market in 2018, the large-size 49-inch and larger and 4K high-resolution products will both account for more than 50% of shipments. Although small-size products under 49 inches have poor gross profit, Samsung will seek to optimize costs by increasing the proportion of outsourcing. Although the strategy of pursuing gross profit may cause Samsung ’s shipments to decline by 1% annually next year, it still does not undermine its leading position.
This year's OLED TVs performed well, with shipments increasing 72% annually to 1.5 million units. The main brands of the OLED camp, Lejin Electronics and Sony, will continue to use the OLED to attack the high-end TV market next year. The overall TV shipments of the two brands in 2018 are expected to maintain a small growth.
TCL Group ’s vertical integration of upstream and downstream panels (CSOT), foundry (TCL) and brand (TCL) strategies have achieved remarkable results this year, and shipments are expected to increase to 14.3 million units, ranking third in terms of shipments next year. The volume will continue to grow, and the annual growth rate is expected to reach more than 6.7%. The vertical integration mode can not only ensure stable panel supply, but also make the brand more flexible in the cost allocation of the whole machine, which can be used as a reference for future development of other brands.
The overall effect of Foxconn Group's upstream and downstream integration appears, with Sharp TV shipments increasing by 97.5% annuallyHisense, another Chinese brand in the top five in shipments, is at a competitive disadvantage due to the lack of upstream panel factory resources within the group. Actively exploring overseas markets will be a key strategy for Hisense to maintain growth. Hisense announced the purchase of Toshiba TV ’s global management rights for 40 years, which is an important layout to expand Haikou.
On the contrary, the Foxconn Group originally had Sharp panel resources and a complete OEM supply chain. This year, it joined the group's one-stop production mode of panel processing and complete machines, driving the Sharp brand TV shipments to 9.4 million units this year. The growth rate is as high as 97.5%. Next year, Sharp will have more chances to move towards the goal of more than 12 million units. Although it still cannot squeeze into the top five in the world, it will continue to pose a threat to Chinese brands such as Hisense and Skyworth, which lack panel resources.
Looking back on 2017, TCL stands firmly in the top three of the brand's shipments and the strong return of the Sharp brand, showing that the future vertical integration model of panel, machine OEM and brand will be the key layout for the brand to stabilize the market and continue to grow. Looking forward to 2018, in addition to the large-scale, high-resolution and OLED TV product specifications still playing an important role, next year's large-scale sports events are also expected to stimulate consumer demand in the market. Based on the above factors, WitsView predicts that global LCD TV brand shipments will grow to 218 million units in 2018, an annual increase of 3.9%.
An electrical appliance used to protect electrical equipment from high transient overvoltage hazards and to limit the duration of continuous flow.This term includes any external clearance necessary for the normal functioning of the appliance during operation and installation, whether or not it is a unit as a whole.
Surge protector, also known as lightning arrester, is an electronic device that provides safety protection for all kinds of electronic equipment, instruments and communication lines.When the electric circuit or communication lines or for outside disturbance suddenly produce peak current in voltage, surge protector in a very short time conduction tap, to avoid surge damage to other devices in the circuits.[1]
Surge protector, suitable for ac 50/60 hz, rated voltage 220 v to 380 v power supply system, the indirect lightning and thunder and lightning directly affect transient over voltage surge protection, or other applicable to the family home, the third industry and the surge protection industry requirements.
