Due to shortage of memory chips, their prices are increasing rapidly, due to which smartphones have become expensive. Now its impact has started on other electronics products including smart TV. According to a report, Samsung co-CEO TM Roh said that no company is spared from the impact of the shortage of memory chips. Since many companies including Samsung use a lot of memory chips in their expensive models, the cost of making smart TVs has increased and this will have a direct impact on the prices of the product.
LCD panels are also becoming expensive
Lack of memory chips is not the only reason behind smart TVs being expensive. For some time now, companies making LCD panels are also facing difficulties. In fact, many Chinese manufacturers like HKC, BOE and CSOT have prepared to suspend their operations next month to reduce labor costs. Due to this, less LCD panels will be available in the market, which will increase their demand and once again smart TV companies may have to increase their prices. Apart from this, many companies have filled their stocks, due to which their shortage is inevitable in the market.
More impact on TVs of this size
A report by Trendforce says that the prices of TV panels will start increasing from January and this will make 32, 43, 55 and 65 inch panels costlier. Prices may go up further due to closure of production in February. Let us tell you that LCD panels are used in almost 95 percent of TVs worldwide. In such a situation, if there is even a slight increase in prices, it is sure to have an impact on the global market. It is being said that if this situation continues for a few months then people will have to spend more money to buy smart TV.
