<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung Electronics has announced that it ranks as the world’s No.1 TV brand<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a> for the 20th consecutive year — marking two decades as the global innovator in the television industry.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung had held the top position in the global TV market since 2006 and according to market research firm Omdia’s<span> report</span>, the company recorded a 29.1% share of the global TV market in 2025. This achievement reinforces Samsung’s top position across premium, ultra-large and next-generation display technologies. Samsung led the premium segment priced over $2,500 with a 54.3% market share, driven by Neo QLED, OLED and lifestyle TVs. It also maintained its top position in the segment over $1,500, holding a 52.2% market share.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span><strong>20 Years of Industry-Defining Innovation</strong></span></h3>
<p>Since first reaching the No.1 position in 2006 with its design-led <span><strong>Bordeaux TV,</strong></span> Samsung has consistently innovated to reshape the television industry:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li><span><strong>2009:</strong></span> The company accelerated the global transition to <span><strong>LED TVs &#8211; </strong></span>setting new standards for slimmer, more energy-efficient displays.</li>
<li><span><strong>2011: </strong></span>The introduction of <span><strong>Smart TVs</strong></span> further transformed televisions into connected entertainment platforms &#8211; expanding their role beyond traditional viewing.</li>
<li><span><strong>2015: The Serif</strong></span><span> </span>reimagined how TVs integrate into living spaces by introducing a design-focused TV that positioned the screen as a statement piece within the home.</li>
<li><span><strong>2017:</strong></span> The company launched <span><strong>The Frame,</strong></span> pioneering the <span><strong>Art TV </strong></span>category by transforming the television into a customisable digital art canvas.</li>
<li><strong>2017: </strong>In premium picture quality, Samsung continued to set industry benchmarks with the introduction of <span><strong>QLED TVs</strong></span> powered by quantum dot technology.</li>
<li><span><strong>2018: 8K TVs</strong></span> delivered four times more the resolution of 4K.</li>
<li><span><strong>2020:</strong></span> Samsung introduced <span><strong>MICRO LED </strong></span>technology, advancing self-emissive display innovation and setting new standards for brightness, contrast and colour accuracy in ultra-large screens.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Through continuous advancements in picture quality, smart functionality and display innovation &#8211; Samsung has played a defining role in establishing today’s premium TV standards.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><span><strong>Strengthening its Position in Premium and Next-Generation TVs</strong></span></h3>
<p>Building on its legacy of innovation, Samsung continues to evolve its premium TV portfolio with expanded<span><strong> Micro RGB </strong></span>models, advancing its next-generation display technologies and reinforcing its invention in high-performance screens. The company also continues to enhance its <span><strong>OLED </strong></span>and <span><strong>Neo QLED</strong></span> line-ups, delivering premium picture quality, ultra-large screen options and differentiated display performance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung is expanding its <span><strong>Mini LED </strong></span>offerings as well, bringing enhanced brightness, contrast and precision control to a wider range of screen sizes and price tiers to extend advanced display performance across its line-up. At the same time, continued investment in<span><strong> AI-powered TVs </strong></span>integrates advanced processors and intelligent features that optimise picture, sound and personalisation in real time.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>With two decades of proven global leadership, Samsung remains one of the most consistently recognised and trusted TV brands worldwide — offering ground-breaking technology across multiple price tiers, screen sizes and display innovations.</p>
