TV market will decline or continue until 2015

Last year, global shipments of all types of TVs fell 6.3% to 258.5 million units from 254.6 million units in the previous year (2011). It is not expected that this will return to the previous year until 2015, when shipments will reach 253.1 million units.

Tom Morrod, an IHS television system analyst, said: "Last year's TV shipments fell for the first time in more than 10 years, and it also marked the end of the prevailing flat panel replacement since the 2000s. This represents a fundamental trajectory in the market. Changes in sex are expected to show a flat or minimal increase in shipment performance over the next few years, a sharp contrast to the double-digit increase seen before 2010. Although some specific events caused last year's decline, such as the decline in sales in the Japanese market, This also reflects the fundamental slowdown in the TV market due to the first decline in the shipment performance of LCD TVs. Even though TV shipments will be stable in 2013 (2013), they will continue to Grow back, but flat-screen TVs are flooded with developed markets."

Compared to last year, due to the stable economic conditions, global TV shipments will grow by 0.3% this year and still remain flat. Next year it will grow 2.8%.

The television market experienced a slowdown before last year, with shipments rising by 11.6% in 2010 and decelerating to 1% the previous year. Prior to 2010, most consumers in the developed regions had replaced old CRT TVs with flat-panel TVs, and many buyers in the emerging economies made similar changes. Economic factors, government subsidies, analog signal conversions, and flat panel replacement trends all contributed to the sharp decline in TV shipments last year.

In both North America and Western Europe, there was a sharp decline in television shipment performance both last year. At the same time, the growth situation in Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region also experienced a sluggish phenomenon, except that the shipment performance in both the Eastern European region and China grew upward.

Japan experienced the largest decline, with its TV shipments dropped by 13.5 million units last year, accounting for the largest proportion of the 16 million units worldwide.

The decline in Japanese TV shipments was due to the end of the "eco-points" subsidy system.
