LCD TV vendors in China are continuing to push sales in markets outside of China which is also driving new panel demand for local TV makers.

In addition to tackling emerging markets, first-tier and now even second- and third-tier LCD TV vendors from China are seeking new sales opportunities in mature economies for Ultra HD, LCD 3D and even AMOLED units.

Such strategies are increasing panel orders to Taiwan and China makers. The makers expect demand for low-priced Ultra HD TV panel solutions will increase the most going into 2015.

Market observers also added that during the year China makers' production capacity on 8.5G lines is expected to begin increasing. Most supply is expected to go to local TV vendors to meet LCD TV panel demand in China but the observers also believe production will be allocated to meet growing demand from markets outside China.
