Samsung Electronics has maintained its position as the world’s leading gaming monitor brand for the sixth consecutive year, according to the latest data from the International Data Corporation (IDC). In fact, the company captured 21.0% of the global gaming monitor market share based on revenue in 2024. This remarkable achievement underscores Samsung’s continued dominance in the competitive gaming monitor industry, where performance and innovation are paramount.
Additionally, the tech giant has secured the top position in the global OLED monitor segment for the second year running. Consequently, they’ve reached an impressive 34.6% market share just two years after introducing their first OLED model. Therefore, this rapid ascension in the premium display segment demonstrates Samsung’s commitment to pushing technological boundaries and meeting gamers’ evolving demands.
“Samsung’s momentum in the gaming display market reflects our relentless pursuit of innovation and deep understanding of what today’s gamers need,” said Hoon Chung, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “From immersive 3D experiences to industry-leading OLED performance, we’re shaping the future of gaming.”
