LCD TV shipments to increase under 2% in 2016, says WitsView

Global LCD TV shipments for 2015 will total 216 million sets, according to the latest estimation by WitsView. Shipments in 2015 will represent a slight annual decline, for the first time since the shipment slide in 2013. In the short term, consumer spending will generally remain weak due to the sluggish pace of the global economic recovery and currency fluctuations. In 2016 the year will unlikely deliver pleasant surprises as well because these macroeconomic factors will continue to affect the market. WitsView projects that global LCD TV shipments for 2016 will arrive at around 220 million sets, up 1.85% year on year.
