Omdia: Global Shipments of 80-Inch and Larger TVs to Rise 44% Between 2025 to 2029

LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep 23, 2025--

Global annual TV shipments are projected to see minimal growth over the next five years, but the ultra-large segment (80 inches and above) is expected to increase by 44% from 2025 to 2029, representing a CAGR of 10%, according to new analysis from Omdia’s quarterly TV Sets Market Tracker. Falling prices of ultra-large LCD TVs combined with advances in backlight technology are set to drive this expansion.

Omdia’s latest TV Sets (Emerging Technologies) Market Tracker: Forecast – 2Q25, projects overall global annual TV shipments to edge up from 209 million units in 2025 to 211 million in 2029, a modest CAGR of just 0.4%. Despite this slowdown in the broader market, several key segments and technologies are on track for rapid growth.

Shipments of TVs 80 inches and larger are forecast to rise from 9 million units in 2025 to over 13 million by 2029. China and North America will continue to dominate demand for ultra-large sizes accounting for 54% and 28% of volume, respectively, in 2029. Western Europe, where smaller screen sizes have traditionally dominated due to limited living space, is also set for growth, climbing from 503,000 units in 2025 to 643,000 in 2029.

“Considerably lower prices for ultra-large TVs are making this premium category accessible to many more consumers,” said Matthew Rubin, Principal Analyst, TV Set Research, Omdia. “This stark change in pricing dynamics is being driven by a combination of manufacturing efficiencies and Chinese brands prioritizing market share and brand visibility over profitability in the $1000-plus premium segment.”

Another core growth area through 2029 will be mini LED, particularly the premium RGB mini LED subsegment. Annual shipments of mini LED TVs are forecast to increase from 12 million in 2025 to 17 million in 2029, a CAGR of 9%. White light mini LED is expected to dominate the mass market, while RGB mini LED, introduced in 2025 by Hisense and Samsung, will expand as more brands adopt the technology from 2026 onward.

Although RGB based technology is initially more expensive to manufacture – with Hisense’ first 116” RGB TV in Europe priced at €24,999 – costs are expected to decline quickly. The technology could follow a trajectory similar to the wider mini LED market, which began as a premium feature but rapidly migrated into mid-range TV sets. RGB technology offers several advantages, including up to 100% color coverage of BT.2020, and avoids the cost-scaling issues for larger screen sizes that OLED face.

TV shipments for mini LED and 80 inch+

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Rookie Beckett Sennecke had two assists and then scored in the shootout, sending the Anaheim Ducks to a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Kings on Friday night.

Mason McTavish ended it with a third-round shootout goal for the Ducks, who rallied from an early two-goal deficit for their second straight victory after a nine-game skid.

Tim Washe scored his first NHL goal and Ryan Strome got his first goal in a month for the Ducks when Southern California’s two NHL teams opened a back-to-back, home-and-home chapter of the Freeway Faceoff rivalry by going to their second shootout of the season. Lukas Dostal made 26 saves.

Joel Armia had a goal and an assist in his return from a five-game injury absence for the Kings, who have lost five of six.

Darcy Kuemper stopped 26 shots, but the Canadian Olympian couldn't stop the famously deliberate shootout style of McTavish, one of the NHL's most successful shootout scorers.

Quinton Byfield put the Kings ahead on their first shot on goal 98 seconds after the opening faceoff, beating Dostal for his ninth goal off a rush set up by Armia.

Neither team mounted a consistent offensive attack for two periods, but Armia made it 2-0 for the Kings midway through the second with a one-timer off a backhand pass from Andre Lee.

Strome answered 39 seconds later, putting a shot past a screen from Sennecke for his second goal in 22 games.

Less than three minutes after that, Washe alertly located a rebound off the boards and beat Kuemper from a sharp angle for his inaugural goal in his sixth NHL game. The 24-year-old undrafted forward won an NCAA title last spring with Western Michigan.

The Ducks played without their top two scorers due to injury. Leo Carlsson had treatment earlier in the day on a thigh injury that could endanger his participation in the Olympics, while Troy Terry (upper body) went on injured reserve before missing his fourth straight game.

A rematch in Anaheim on Saturday night.
