Samsung Says to Discontinue China Sales of some Consumer Electronics Products

Samsung said its mobile, chip and medical equipment businesses will remain in China as TV and appliance losses reached 200 billion won last year.

  • Samsung Electronics announced on Wednesday it will end home appliance and TV sales in mainland China, retreating from a consumer market increasingly dominated by domestic rivals.
  • Mounting pressure and losses in the appliance sector prompted this decision, as Samsung pivots resources toward its highly profitable semiconductor operations.
  • After-Sales services will continue as normal for existing customers, though Samsung plans to maintain its presence in the Chinese market through mobile phone and chip sales.
  • Samsung's TV and home appliance businesses posted losses of 200 billion won last year, while smartphone market share in China fell to less than 1 per cent.
  • Driven by the global artificial intelligence boom, Samsung's semiconductor earnings soared recently, pushing market capitalization to a record high of 1,710.8 trillion won on Wednesday.
