People that aren’t experts in electronics are used to buying consumer electronics or TVs of famous brands which have been on the market for a long time.
Nowadays, the electronic market is full of different brands from all over the world which also have a great variety of products with their own advantages and disadvantages. So if you’re reading this article you have probably been searching for some alternatives to those well-known TVs represented by famous brands. And Skyworth is one of them.
What is Skyworth (Skyworth Group Co., Ltd.)
Skyworth is a large, high-tech group of companies that are engaged in researching, developing, and manufacturing products such as multimedia (Smart TVs, set-top boxes, content operations), displays, refrigerators and washing machines, climate control systems, digital set-top boxes, security systems, semiconductors, LED lighting, auto parts. It’s worth noting that its factories also produce TVs according to OEM, ODM schemes for other manufacturers.
What is the real country of origin of Skyworth
If you look at a label on a TV box you will surely see that the TV was made in China like most products that we buy nowadays. Thank God, today there is no need to panic when we see the label “made in China”. China has no longer been associated with bad quality chip products and we can find a lot of brands with a great range of high-quality competitive products there.
Skyworth was founded in 1988 in Shenzhen, one of the most technological cities in China, as a manufacturer of home appliances and electronics.
From 1996 to 2000, there was a period of rapid growth, during which Skyworth became the fourth largest TV company in China. But, as they say, there is no victory without failure, and after 2000 Skyworth faced financial problems resulting from quick market expansion. They had to close the small appliances business and sell 80% of its new mobile phone company to creditors. The company has experienced lower sales and tighter margins in a sector that prevented it from bringing out new products. Then company’s management drew some conclusions and today Skyworth is one of the world’s top 5 home appliance manufacturers, and is the undisputed # 1 premium OLED and LED TV manufacturer in China’s domestic market (according to the GFK agency).
Where Skyworth TV’s are developed and made
Skyworth Group Co., Ltd. includes more than 10 industrial companies, 3 large logistics centers, 9 production bases, and 7 research institutes, 41 subsidiaries, 211 offices, and more than 20,000 employees in the European Union, Southeast Asia, South America, USA, Japan, and the Middle East.

The company also has some research facilities and logistics centers situated throughout China, including Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Jiangxi.
What Types of TVs Does Skyworth Make?
As most global brands Skyworth makes different lines of televisions. Most popular are ultra-thin smart TVs on the Android TV OS 10 that allows you to enjoy thousands of the most popular apps and video games available. Screen sizes range from 32 inches to 85 inches with at least 4K resolution and HDR compatibility. But it’s also worth mentioning that not all of the dimensions are available in every country.
