For LCD TVs, the cost of the panel often accounts for a large proportion, usually accounting for about 80% of the total cost. Therefore, the price of the panel can be said to play a crucial role in the selling price of the whole machine. Recently, DisplaySearch, a well-known market research organization, announced the latest LCD panel price trends in June. The prices of small-size panels and large-screen panels have dropped slightly. We might as well pay attention to it.
International market panel prices in June 2016
The international market panel prices announced by DisplaySearch are the latest data on June 4, 2015. It is worth noting that the price of 32-inch LCD panels has dropped slightly by US$1, and the price of 40-inch panels has also dropped by US$1. The US dollar dropped, and the situation was the same for the 48-inch panel, which also dropped slightly by US$1. As can be seen from recent price movements, overall price changes are leveling off.
Panel industry insiders pointed out that since June, TV manufacturers’ purchase demand for panels has declined, mainly in some large-screen panels. Small-sized panels such as 32-inch panels are driven by user demand in many developing countries, which has driven the sales of 32-inch panels. As can be seen from the table, since February this year, the price of 32-inch panels has dropped from US$96 to US$86, a drop of as much as US$10. In terms of large screens, represented by 50-inch LCD panels, the price in February was US$210, and now the price in June is US$209. It can be said that the price of large-screen LCD panels is still strong, and the possibility of price cuts in the short term is not high.
