Samsung’s Tizen OS dominates global smart TV market

Global sales of smart TVs are rising and accounting for most of the sets being sold. According to Strategy Analytics, odds are good that consumers buying smart TVs will pick one up that runs Samsung’s Tizen OS.

The research firm said that worldwide smart TV sales totaled 157 million units in 2018, representing 67% of all TVs sold during the year. Approximately 1 in 5 smart TVs sold today run on the Tizen platform while 1 in 10 run on the Google managed Android TV system.

Roku TV only accounted for 4% of global TV sales in 2018 but the company’s story in North America was much different, where nearly one in every four smart TVs sold last year ran the Roku TV OS.

David Watkins, director at Strategy Analytics, said that TV OEMs continue to pursue the market even though margins are slim, because smart TVs provide ample targeted advertising revenue opportunities.

“Control over the smart TV operating system is therefore of critical importance as it is through this software layer that companies can extract the valuable user data that drives targeted ad revenues,” said Watkins. “It is for this reason that Google, Roku and Amazon are battling to persuade TV makers to build their TV software platforms into their sets rather than go through the expensive and time consuming process of building and maintaining their own operating systems.”

Watkins said that while Tizen, followed by LG’s WebOS, are still the biggest smart TV operating systems globally, Google’s Android TV and Roku TV have made strong gains in the U.S. in recent years by building on their partnerships with second and third tier TV makers.

“Samsung will therefore be hoping that its recently announced exclusive arrangement with Apple to integrate the iTunes app into its smart TVs will give it something that these other fast growing platforms cannot match,” Watkins said.

      By Samsung Newsroom
      Samsung Electronics today announced that it has secured its position as the global leader in the TV market for the 19th consecutive year.
       
      According to market research firm Omdia, Samsung achieved a 28.3% market share in the global TV market in 2024, maintaining the number one ranking it has held since 2006. This continued success is driven by the company’s commitment to premium and ultra-large screen innovation, as well as the introduction of cutting-edge, AI-powered TVs.
       
      “Samsung’s 19-year reign as the global TV market leader has been made possible by the trust and support of our customers,” said Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “We will continue to shape the future of the TV industry with innovations like AI-powered TVs, delivering products and services that meaningfully enrich people’s lives.”

      Samsung Smart TV Apps drawer
      By mramnesia97
      My Samsung Smart TV's (Model Code: QE55Q80AATXXC) app window is completely broken. I'm trying to enable developer mode but as soon as I enter "Apps" the window is frozen. I cannot scroll or click on anything. I can activate to press the 123 digits, but nothing happens when I try to input 1,2,3,4,5
      I've tried resetting the TV completely, unplugged it, cleared cache and everything else I can think off.
      What could possibly cause the Apps drawer to not work and be completely frozen?

      Tizen OS apps
      By Sau
      Hello,
       
      I have Samsung TV (qe55q80datxxh) with Tizen OS and unfortunately it doesn’t find necessary apps on its store. I.e. App called “TV Zone” (https://tvzone.app) - it supports Tizen OS, but on Samsung store it is not visible. Is there any way to install this app in Samsung via store or like a third party app using usb stick (is it even possible?)?
      Txanx!

      Samsung Extends Tizen Smartphone to Bangladesh
      By Alex
      Three weeks ago, the company released in India the Samsung Z1, its first smartphone powered by Tizen, a homegrown alternative to Google Inc.’s Android operating system.
       
      This week, Samsung is pushing the Samsung Z1 into Bangladesh, a neighbor of India with more than 150 million people and a similarly low rate of smartphone penetration.
       
      After several missteps and rethinks, Samsung’s strategy for its Tizen smartphones is taking a clear shape: the company is aiming the fledgling platform squarely at first-time smartphone users, many of whom may not even have a bank account. The Samsung Z1 is selling in India for about $90.
       
      To that end, Samsung has been touting the “lightweight” nature of the Tizen operating system, meaning that it requires relatively little computing power and can handle most tasks without requiring pricey high-end specifications.
       
      That same lightweight approach has also allowed Samsung to use Tizen as the platform for many of the devices it is hoping will populate its “connected home,” from televisions to smart watches and home appliances.
       
      Despite concerns that Samsung’s new smartphone would face stiff competition in India, where several local handset makers are touting low-end smartphones — some of them in partnership with Google — Samsung says that its Tizen smartphones have received “positive responses” there.
       
      Positive enough, it seems, to at least push Tizen into a second country.
