Global Q3-2021 TV unit shipments declined 14.7% from the same period in 2020, and are expected to drop further in Q4-2021 in most regions of the world as the lingering effects of supply chain disruptions continue into the Holidays, according to data recently issued by market research firm TrendForce.

The firm’s latest full-year TV shipment forecasts show global unit shipment volume down year-over-year by more than 10% for the full year and down 12% for the second half of 2021.

According to TrendForce data, quarterly TV shipments in Q3-2021 came in at 52.51 million units, down 14.7% from last year, when pandemic related lock downs and government stimulus measures boosted demand beyond normally predictable levels.

It is interesting how carefully it is all arranged.
