Samsung Electronics has announced that it has maintained its position as the leading global gaming monitor brand for the seventh consecutive year, a streak that began in 2019.
According to recent figures from International Data Corporation (IDC), Samsung secured 18.9% of the global gaming monitor market by revenue, reinforcing its dominance in high-performance gaming displays. Additionally, Samsung ranked first in the OLED gaming monitor sector for the third year in a row, with a 26% market share.
“As the No. 1 gaming monitor brand, our goal is to continue leading the market with differentiated innovation,” stated Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “Strong partnerships with game studios guide our innovation, while a clear technology roadmap keeps us focused. By expanding our gaming library and broadening platform compatibility, we’re delivering displays that perform when it matters most to gamers.”
Esports star Lee ‘Faker’ Sang-hyeok from T1 commented, “In gaming, the smallest difference makes all the difference. Being No. 1 for seven consecutive years shows that so many of us choose Samsung for a reason. I’m excited to see what innovative gaming technologies Samsung will bring next to help us perform at our best.”
Samsung’s ongoing leadership is attributed to its emphasis on next-generation gaming monitor technology and immersive gaming experiences.
