Global television market to reach 226.6 million units; LCD-TVs up 119%
Transition
from analog to digital television (DTV) and the rise of flat-panel
televisions will drive 5.7% growth in worldwide television unit shipments
in 2006, according
to iSuppli. In 2006, the television market will reach 187.7 million
units, up from an estimated 177.5 million units in 2005. By
2010, the global television market will expand to 226.6 million units.
CRT TVs will lose their historical dominance of the TV market in 2009, when they will account for about 42% of unit shipments, while LCD-TV’s share will grow to 47.9% that year.
In the second quarter, the total market
for LCD-TVs reached 8.7 million units, up 19% from
the first quarter of this year and up a whopping
119% compared to the same period in 2005. Value brands (mostly from
Taiwan and China) account for more than 20% of all LCD-TV shipments in the
second quarter. Europe led the way with 36% of total LCD television
shipments, due to anticipated demand surrounding the World Cup soccer
tournament.
