Samsung Electronics' TV and Home Appliance Division Shows Lower Profitability Than Panasonic

‌




Since last year, Samsung Electronics has been fluctuating between quarterly deficits and surpluses in its TV, air conditioning, and home appliance sectors, resulting in lower profitability than Panasonic's home appliance division.
Panasonic still generates approximately 30 trillion won in revenue and about 1 trillion won in operating profit from its home appliance division,
while LG Electronics generates about 50 trillion won in revenue with an operating profit in the high 1 trillion to 2 trillion won range.
Since TVs and home appliances are no longer industries requiring massive technological breakthroughs, Samsung is also being squeezed by Chinese companies.
If profitability does not improve, they may not completely exit the TV and home appliance markets, but there is a possibility they might scale down the business.
