      Celebrating Innovation and Leadership in Europe’s Premium TV Market,
      Company Launches Exclusive Consumer Benefits Across the Region
       
      SEOUL, May 22, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) proudly announces a major industry milestone: becoming the first brand to surpass 10 million OLED TV sales in Europe.1 Achieved in the second quarter of 2025, this accomplishment reflects the continued trust of European consumers in LG OLED as the benchmark for premium TV viewing. For more than a decade, LG has led the OLED TV segment by consistently pushing the boundaries of self-emissive display technology, building a legacy of innovation and excellence in the global premium TV market.
      Dominance in Europe’s Premium OLED Segment
      According to Omdia, a global market research firm, LG shipped over 10 million OLED TVs in Europe as of April 2025. Since launching its first OLED TV in the region in 2013, LG has steadily grown its footprint, reaching sales milestones of 2 million in 2019, 4.9 million in 2021, 8 million in 2023 and 9.5 million in 2024.
      In the first quarter of 2025 alone, LG shipped approximately 391,100 OLED TVs in Europe, maintaining a dominant 56.4 percent market share and leading key markets including the UK, Germany and France. Today, more than one in every two OLED TVs sold in Europe bears the LG logo – a testament to the brand’s unparalleled popularity.
      LG’s C Series, particularly the latest C5 model, continues to be the best-selling OLED TV in the region, offering enhanced immersive viewing that makes it a top choice among consumers.

      LG’s global dominance continues, with a 52.4 percent share of OLED TV shipments in 2024 – marking its 12th consecutive year as the world’s leading OLED TV brand. This success stems from LG’s relentless focus on elevating the TV experience through cutting-edge audiovisual innovations and AI-driven personalization.
      At the core of LG’s OLED excellence is its exclusive α (Alpha) AI processor, engineered for optimal picture and sound performance. Continuous technological innovations – such as rollable, transparent, true wireless, and three times brighter OLEDs, along with hyper-personalized content through the webOS platform – have also contributed to solidifying the brand’s reputation as the benchmark in premium TV technology.

Enhanced AI-powered features including the AI Remote, Voice ID, LLM-based AI Search and a proactive AI Chatbot provide a personalized and seamless user experience from the moment the TV is turned on.
      Top Ratings from Europe’s Most Trusted Experts
      LG OLED TVs continue to receive top ratings from leading consumer organizations across Europe, securing the highest scores in 12 countries,2 including the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain. In the UK, LG has been recognized as the Home Entertainment Brand of the Year by the Which? Awards for five consecutive years, with the OLED G4 and C4 models earning top scores of 80.
      Design excellence remains a hallmark of LG OLED TVs. Models such as the OLED T have won prestigious honors like the iF Design Award and Red Dot Design Award, while LG’s commitment to sustainability is recognized through certifications such as Reducing CO2 and Measured CO2 from the Carbon Trust – for the fifth consecutive year.
      LG webOS: Steady Growth with Premium Content & Partnerships
      LG’s leadership extends beyond hardware. Its TVs have also gained popularity by offering an always growing selection of content and services powered by its proprietary webOS platform.
      LG Channels, now one of the top five most-used apps on LG TVs in key European markets, is available in 16 countries, with over 1,700 channels delivering movies, live sports, and premium entertainment. Viewing hours in Europe have increased by over 45% year-over-year.3 Strategic content partnerships with ITV Studios, Lionsgate, A+E, NBCU, FIFA+ and BBC Studios Distribution Limited fuel this rapid growth.

      LG has once again left a lasting impression on visitors to ISH, one of the world’s biggest annual tradeshows for HVAC, water and sanitation solutions. Held in Frankfurt, Germany, the event highlighted LG’s extensive range of integrated heating solutions customized for diverse environments and spaces, including high-efficiency residential heat pumps and large-capacity commercial systems. Tailormade for the European market and compliant with the European Union’s F-gas Regulation, LG’s products exclusively employ refrigerants with a low Global Warming Potential (GWP).

      A major attraction at LG’s booth, the Hero zone introduced ISH visitors to the exceptional Therma V R290 Monobloc air-to-water heat pump (AWHP) for residential applications. Displayed beneath a captivating hanging façade at the center of the zone, the new Therma V boasts a sleek, minimalist design, quiet operation and outstanding cold-climate performance, thanks to LG’s advanced scroll compressor. Designed with user comfort and the health of the planet in mind, the Therma V employs R290 refrigerant, which has a GWP of 3, to reduce carbon emissions.

The Cascade Control Unit offers flexible scalability, allowing users to add up to eight outdoor units to their HVAC system. This adaptability not only meets varying heating demands but also optimizes energy efficiency, thereby contributing to the reduction of HVAC running costs.

      Another notable exhibit was the new LG heat pump water heater (HPWH) with R290 refrigerant. Displayed in a booth area designed to resemble a stylish European kitchen, the versatile HPWH R290 utilizes both air and electricity as energy sources, achieving greater efficiency than traditional electric or a gas-powered water heaters. Its simple design ensures compatibility with various installation environments and customer needs, offering seamless integration with various types of indoor units, such as control, hydro and combi.

      In response to recent EU restrictions on refrigerant usage, LG has launched a complete lineup of reliable commercial HVAC solutions utilizing R32 refrigerant (GWP of 675). Visitors learned about the innovative, large-capacity Inverter Scroll Chiller, which leverages twin inverter scroll compressors to maximize cooling power and operational efficiency.
