"Sony's market share in premium OLED TVs with a price tag of more than US$3,000 surged to 44 percent last year, up from zero percent in 2016. Industry sources said Sony's dramatic rise could pose a threat to Samsung Electronics Co. and LG Electronics Inc. at a time when the two South Korean tech giants are going all out to control the large-sized high-end premium TV market.[...]

The market share of Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics in the global TV market came to 26.5 percent and 14.6 percent last year, respectively. In comparison, Sony ranked third with a market share of 10.2 percent."

Thanks for sharing this news, Rooobb.

It will be interesting to see if the surge continues through 2018 and if Sony can grab a bigger share.

Cheers,
