MarketNews: Samsung Snags Top Spot in 2006 Worldwide TV Revenue & Units
According to the latest results from DisplaySearch, Samsung led the global TV market in units and revenue in Q4 2006, enjoying 31 per cent quarter-over-quarter (Q/Q) growth, and snagging 11.6 per cent market share. Samsung was also number-one for all of 2006, and the only supplier to earn more than a 10 per cent market share.
The research firm’s Quarterly Global TV Shipment and Forecast Report found that global TV unit shipments grew 26 per cent Q/Q in seasonally strong Q4, while declining one per cent year-over-year (Y/Y) to 57.6 million. Average TV prices fell just one per cent Q/Q, but increased 16 per cent Y/Y to US$534. LCD and plasma TV prices fell 21 per cent and 29 per cent Y/Y, respectively, which in turn boosted the demand for flat panel TVs to 19 per cent unit share in Q4 2005 to 38 per cent in Q4 2006, and from 57 per cent revenue share to 73 per cent. As a result, TV revenues reached a new record high of US$30.8 billion, up 24 per cent Q/Q and 15 per cent Y/Y.

I've got nothing really insightful to add here. Good for them!
