Samsung’s OLED market share hit historic lows
There are quite a few users who criticize companies for using AMOLED screens. After all, vision is rapidly deteriorating from them, although at the moment there is no serious medical research on this topic. And given that OLED screens are gradually becoming the norm in the market, we can assume that this type of panel can celebrate a victory.
Samsung has been holding the lead in the production of AMOLED screens for some time, but its share is inexorably decreasing. If earlier its share was estimated at more than 90%, today the company controls 69.5% of the OLED panel market and in quantitative terms, it is 101 million units and this is 20% less than a month earlier.
Samsung’s share is declining under the attack of Chinese companies BOE, Visionox, TCL China Star Optoelectronics, and Tianma Microelectronics, which have mastered the production of OLEDs, and their products are increasingly being purchased by Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Realme, iQOO, and other companies. The total share of Chinese OLED screen manufacturers exceeded 24.2% versus 15.6% a quarter earlier.
The leader among manufacturers in China is BOE. The company delivered 14.28 million panels, which is 36% more than a quarter earlier. Visionox came in second with 9.8 million units shipped.

Samsung has maintained its position as the leading SSD supplier.
