For the full year, the company expects to achieve consistent growth in overseas markets, particularly in the Latin America market, APAC market and MEA market.

The sales achievements are driven by SKYWORTH’s consistent investment in advanced display technologies. Last year, SKYWORTH introduced a range of flagship products – including 4K OLED TV’s and gaming monitors (SKYWORTH W82, S82 and G90), an 88" 8K OLED TV (SKYWORTH W92), and a 4K Smart MiniLED TV (SKYWORTH Q72):

Enhanced Commitment to the North American Market with More Distributors, Strengthened Supply Chain, and New Strategic Partnership with Google

Specifically in the USA and Canada, SKYWORTH achieved a record-breaking sales revenue that contributed to SKYWORTH’s global performance, thanks to an enhanced distribution network and support from partners.

John Homlish, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing, SKYWORTH USA, said: "2021 was a year of dealer expansion. In the USA, we added 151 Conn’s Home Plus retail locations servicing 15 states and continued our expansion with the NATM Buying group including ABC Warehouse, Nebraska Furniture Mart, and Cowboy Maloney. In Canada, we added 82 London Drugs retail locations servicing 35 major markets throughout British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba. Expansion in the tertiary markets was driven by O’Rourke Sales Company, our national distributor. New business in the USA and Canada accounted for more than 30% of our total business.

"Moving forward into 2022, we are fully committed to expanding our presence in the US and Canada and introducing big-screen LCD and OLED Smart TV’s, enabling even more consumers to enjoy the stunning audio-visual experiences we have to offer."

In support of the expansion strategy, SKYWORTH will move its manufacturing for the North America market to Mexico from China in 2022, significantly reducing delivery times to distributors and consumers and diversifying the supply chain to safeguard it against external shocks.

Further elevating the entertainment experience, SKYWORTH will roll out a lineup of Google TV^™ models for the USA and Canada markets with a target launch of summer 2022. Google TV brings together movies, shows, live TV^[3] and more from across user apps and subscriptions and organizes them. Users can discover new things to watch with recommendations based on what they watch and their interests. Everyone can enjoy a personalized entertainment experience with profiles for each member of the household, including dedicated kids profiles. Users can ask Google to find movies and shows, answer questions, control smart home devices, and more, with their voices.
