Our researchers analyzed the data with 2023 as the base year and the key drivers, trends, and challenges.
The rising popularity of large-display televisions is notably driving market growth. In 2018, a 40-inch television was the standard size across the globe. However, the majority of retailers now provide televisions with screens larger than 80 inches. In 2019, 25% of televisions sold (more than half of all sales) were 50 inches or larger. For screens 36 inches or larger, consumers are likely to choose a UHD/4K television over an HD model during the forecast period. Customers will indeed have a better experience with a UHD television than they would with a screen smaller than 36 inches due to the higher resolution it offers. UHD televisions provide enhanced viewing experiences with their larger screen sizes, allowing for high-quality images, vibrant colors, and rapid response times, enhancing the overall visual experience for viewers.
The increasing acceptance of video walls as a viable option is another factor promoting the expansion of this market. To give the impression of one large screen, video walls are made up of several monitors arranged in a row. They have superior qualities and are increasingly used as digital signage in manufacturing facilities, in addition to their use in large settings. Flexible video deployments that offer numerous advantages are valuable to businesses across a range of industries. Large-area displays, like video walls, are used in manufacturing facilities to deliver real-time information via digital solutions and provide data on inventory, daily output levels, and more. These factors are likely to drive 4K TV market growth during the forecast period.
The demand for smart TVs is an emerging trend in the market. Smart TVs also referred to as hybrid TVs or connected TVs have interactive Web 2.0 features built right into them. The 4K resolution is a feature of the most recent smart TVs. During the forecast period, the rising demand for such smart TVs as well as curved TVs will favorably affect the expansion of the global 4K TV market.
Smart features are becoming more valued as necessities, which has caused consumers' preferences to change and led to a self-sustaining demand for integrated internet streaming capabilities. Several retailers also offer smart UHD TVs. Important market players like LG and Samsung offer Android smart TVs. Different-sized LED and OLED Android smart TVs are available from Sony Group Corp. Smart TVs are now widely available on par with regular TVs, which has helped them become commonplace items in major cities, small towns, and tier-II cities. This trend will continue to contribute to 4K TV market growth during the forecast period.
The lack of 4K content is a major challenge impeding market growth. The advanced 4K HDR OLED technology and X1 Extreme processor used in the AF8 series are designed to give users the best experience possible. Studios must use 4K-capable equipment, which is still being developed, to film content that can be viewed in 4K. The lack of content, however, may make purchasing a 4K TV a disadvantage.
Although companies are working to integrate 4K into their platforms, the high cost of these 4K videos prevents many users from viewing them. Its titles are purchased without a resolution quality option, allowing customers with the right audiovisual (AV) setups and quick internet connections to stream 4K content. In-home capabilities and content distribution are the main problems with 4K and 8K resolutions. Many owners of 4K UHD devices are unable to access this content because broadcasters have not yet produced 4K content. The significant financial investment required to contribute and distribute 4K UHD is the main cause of this gap. Operators might not be motivated to shorten the replacement lifecycle to offer customers a 4K UHD set-top box (STB). Therefore, the gap between the demand for UHD TVs and the supply of content will hinder 4K TV market growth during the forecast period.
The 4K TV market forecasting report includes the adoption lifecycle of the market, covering from the innovator's stage to the laggards's stage. It focuses on adoption rates in different regions based on penetration. Furthermore, the 4K TV market research and growth report also includes key purchase criteria and drivers of price sensitivity to help companies evaluate and develop their growth strategies.
