Report overview/summary:
Global TV shipments declined 4% YoY in June 2026, leaving Q2 2026 flat YoY. Samsung and TCL closed Q2 2026 with 7% and 10% YoY shipment growth, respectively, on a brand family basis, further narrowing the gap between the top two brands. Samsung has moved beyond its premium-centric playbook this year, rolling out value-tier MiniLED series alongside an aggressively price-tiered RGB MiniLED lineup — bringing a 55-inch model below the $2,000 mark — in a clear bid to defend volume share across price bands. TCL, in turn, continues its Mini LED-led expansion spanning entry to flagship tiers, with Q2 growth driven by its home market in China alongside strong momentum in Japan and MEA, where its price-competitive large-screen lineup keeps resonating. With the two brands now colliding across virtually every price tier and region, the race for Global TV leadership is set to intensify further in H2 2026.
