Smart TVs are becoming increasingly popular in China and other developed markets as more consumers turn to online video services for streaming content. According to research from IHS, the percentage of households owning a smart TV is expected to surpass 50% in countries like Japan, the United States, the UK, France, and Germany by 2019. In Japan, the penetration rate has already reached 50%, with an expected rise to 63% by 2019. The U.S. is not far behind, with a projected 57% smart TV adoption rate.
In Western Europe, the UK and Germany are expected to reach 53% smart TV ownership by 2019, while France is close to 50%. Hisakazu Torii, Senior Director of Consumer Electronics Research at IHS Technology, noted that growing demand for 4K resolution, support for high dynamic range (HDR), and streaming media content in 4K and HDR formats are driving global smart TV market growth. The launch of Super HD Blu-ray in 2016 and the increasing availability of 4K content from online providers have further supported this trend.
Although China is still considered an emerging market, it is expected to outperform other developing regions in smart TV adoption, reaching 46% by 2019. This is largely due to the rising demand for online content, making smart TVs a standard feature on new TVs sold in China. Torii added that with companies like Alibaba, Letv, and Xiaomi entering the TV market, Chinese consumers now have more smart TV options than ever before. The growing sales of 4K TVs are also helping to accelerate these trends.
However, in other emerging markets such as Brazil, Russia, and India, smart TV adoption remains low. This is mainly due to limited online video content and inadequate broadband infrastructure. As a result, by 2019, smart TV penetration is expected to be only 36% in Brazil and Russia, and just 3% in India.
