Shipments of large-size monitors growing due to demand in China, says report

Demand has shifted towards products with larger sizes in the 2015 LCD monitor market. According to WitsView, the share of models sized 23-inch and above in global monitor shipments has increased to upwards of 40% in the third quarter of 2015. The 27-inch and larger segment in particular has seen the largest increase in its share of the total shipments. A year ago, this segment accounted for just 6.8% of the annual shipments worldwide. In 2015, however, rising demand from Internet cafes in China is supporting the large-size market. Moreover, shipments of large-size niche products such as curved-screen monitors have picked up. Consequently, the share of the 27-inch and larger segment in the total monitor shipments increased to 9.5% by the end of the second quarter and surpassed 10% in the third quarter of 2015.
