Global OLED monitor shipments surged 98% year-over-year in the second quarter of 2026, signaling strong consumer demand for high-end displays. This rapid growth reshapes the competitive landscape for PC hardware buyers seeking superior color accuracy and contrast. Market leader Asus capitalized on regional sales events to secure the top spot, while established rivals like Samsung and MSI adjusted their strategies to maintain relevance. The expansion indicates that OLED technology is moving from niche enthusiast gear to mainstream desktop setups.

Asus captures nearly a quarter of global shipments while Samsung and MSI compete for second place

Asus retained the number one position with a 23.1% market share, driven by strong sales during China's 618 shopping festival and increased demand from internet cafes. Samsung held second place with a 13.1% share, though its position weakened after withdrawing from the Chinese market. MSI ranked third with a 12.8% share, effectively closing the gap with Samsung as it expanded its product lineup. AOC took fourth place with an 8.6% share, followed by LG Electronics in fifth with 8.4%.
