Samsung Group, TLC Corporation, Panasonic Corporation, and Sony Corporation are among the major participants in the smart TV market. Due to high customer demand, the smart TV business is being seen as a viable investment prospect.
Partnerships between large corporations and small businesses are expanding the growth opportunities.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Smart TV Market
The pandemic of COVID-19 has had a negative influence on the smart TV market. Government-imposed shutdowns forced the closure of manufacturing plants. For months, restrictions on the transportation of non-essential products and services were implemented, hampering the global supply and distribution of smart TVs.
In 2019, Samsung, which has factories in Vietnam, the Czech Republic, and Hungary, was mostly unaffected. Samsung, on the other hand, had difficulty functioning its European plants due to the closure of Hungary’s borders and the lockdown in the Czech Republic.
