Since August 2009, some overseas LCD panel makers have successively unveiled their production line construction plans in the Mainland China, which will become the world's largest single LCD TV market and even outpace Europe in two or three years. However, the investments, which are led by overseas counterparts, will hardly to solve the essential problems in the domestic LCD panel industry, noted Li Dongsheng, board chairman for TCL.
Facing increasing competition, TCL never stops trying to extend its reach to LCD TV upstream segments. In January 2006, TCL set up a joint venture in cooperation with BOE Technology Group Co., Ltd. (SZSE: 000725), Skyworth, Changhong, Konka, and Shenzhen-based company, in a bid to team up with domestic companies to establish LCD panel production lines and enhance the competitiveness of their terminal products in the global market. However, the project so far has made no progress and made no investment in LCD panel production lines, TCL explained in the statement, adding that the company had discussions with major domestic players in the industry and local government, but did not reached an agreement.
The Mainland China is expected to reach LCD TV shipment of 22.60 million in 2009, according to a report by Displaybank, a leading display research institute. The number is predicted to hit 30.20 million in 2010, with a 34% rise year on year; and it will climb to 36.90 million in 2011.
In addition, the mainland is estimated to have a LCD TV penetration ratio of 50% in 2009, and the figure will jump to 84% in 2012, Displaybank said.
