ABI Sees Global Shipments of HDR TVs Rising at 41% CAGR Through 2022

Global shipments of high dynamic range TVs will see a 41 percent compound annual growth rate through the next five years, reaching 245 million units in 2022, ABI Research said in a Wednesday report. “As evident with Sony’s recent announcement to include HDR in all its new TV sets, the next-generation TV technology will soon be a prominent feature in many Ultra HD TV sets.” Though less expensive sets “will not yet support” HDR technology, “high-end TV manufacturers recognize the value that HDR functionality brings to the viewing experience,” said ABI.
