BOE Technology (京东方) maintains its position as the global leader in TV panel manufacturing for 2025, with annual shipments exceeding 60 million units. TCL China Star (华星光电) follows closely at over 50 million units, driven by its IPS panel expansion and Gen 8.5/11 production lines. BOE’s dominance stems from its 32% market share in 2023, projected to reach 45% in high-end products like 8K and Mini LED-backlit panels by year-end 2025.

What defines leadership in TV panel manufacturing?
A manufacturer’s leadership is determined by annual shipment volume, technological innovation, and market share in premium segments. For example, BOE secured its top position through 85% yield rates in 8K production lines and 25% Mini LED adoption in 75″+ TV panels. Pro Tip: Watch capacity expansion—BOE’s new Gen 10.5 plant adds 120K monthly substrates specifically for 85″ 8K panels.
How does TCL China Star compete with BOE?
TCL China Star leverages vertical integration through parent company TCL Electronics, combining panel production with smart TV assembly. Its 2025 acquisition of LG Display’s Guangzhou Gen 8.5 line boosts IPS panel output by 40%. However, BOE counters with R&D investment—allocating 15% of revenue to Micro LED and foldable display development.
