Vizio LCD TV sales hit high prior to Thanksgiving, says Amtran
Vizio saw its LCD TV shipments surge to 86,000 units in the US marketduring the week preceding Thanksgiving, hitting the highest weekly level so far in 2009, according to Amtran Technology, which makes LCD TVs for the US vendor.
Promotion in retail channels and smooth product transition generated strong sales during the week prior to Thanksgiving, with sales mostly from the 32-inch and 37-inch segments, Amtran said. Vizio shipped 3,600 units of 55-inch models during the week, and expects 55-inch shipments to exceed 10,000 units in November, Amtran added.
in 2008 Vizio shipped 43,000 LCD TVs for the week preceding Thanksgiving, and 145,000 units during the Thanksgiving week, Amtran noted. Amtran expects strong LCD TV shipments during the Thanksgiving week for Vizio this year.
Vizio lost its number-one LCD TV vendor position in the US to Samsung Electronics in the third quarter, as the Korea vendor placed a strong emphasis on advanced LED-backlit models and reduced prices for its high-end sets, according to iSuppli data. Samsung shipped 1.3 million
LCD TVs in the US in the third quarter, while Vizio shipped 1.2 million LCD TVs, according to iSuppli.
Amtran expects Vizio to hit record shipments in the fourth quarter thanks to year-end holiday shopping, and Vizio will achieve the shipment goal of 4.2-4.5 million units for 2009.
Amtran also said the joint venture it has set up in China with LG Display mainly targets clients in Asia and South America. It has received LCD TV OEM orders from the top-three China TV vendors, with shipments beginning in the fourth quarter of 2009 and expected to increase significantly in 2010, said Amtran.
