A recent report has revealed how the outlooks for TV sales growth in developed and emerging countries appear to be heading in different directions. The latest Quarterly Advanced Global TV Shipment and Forecast Report from market research firm DisplaySearch also indicated that the global demand for televisions is expected to fall, and TV shipment levels from 2010 to 2011 are set to stagnate at 248 million units. …
…206 million units are expected to be LCD TV displays, whereas plasma televisions will account for 17 million units.
The data has shown that TV sales in developed countries such as Western Europe, Japan and North America will see some decline. However, television shipments in emerging markets are expected to continue growing…
While the total demand for television sets this year is predicted to remain flat, DisplaySearch expects sales of flat-screen televisions (which excludes CRT and rear projection TVs) to rise 6 percent on a year-on-year basis. 2012 should see even higher growth to 9 percent, partly because of lowered price premiums for advanced HDTV technologies like LED backlight and 3D capabilities.
