Global LCD TV shipments in 2014 are expected to reach 210.8 million, up 3.2% year-on-year, according to WitsView, a subsidiary of Taiwan-based market intelligence firm TrendForce. Vendors’ inventories are currently healthy and Chinese vendors in particular are looking to expand their shipments in markets abroad by bumping up competition during Black Friday in the USA. LCD TV demand in China is also increasing in preparation for the October 1 holiday period, which means that oversupply is unlikely to occur in the short term.
