Samsung says its TV business will be less affected by new U.S. tariffs, as most North American units are made in Mexico—shielded from recent trade levies. The company plans to adapt global output to navigate ongoing tariff shifts.
Samsung Electronics has announced that its television business is likely to be less impacted by newly imposed U.S. tariffs, thanks to its strategic production in Mexico. According to Yong Seok-woo, President of Samsung’s Visual Display Business, the majority of Samsung TVs sold in North America are manufactured in Mexico, which has largely avoided the latest 10% global baseline tariff and additional reciprocal duties introduced by the U.S. administration.
While competitors such as TCL and Hisense face steep levies due to Chinese-based manufacturing, now totalling up to 54%, Samsung’s diversified production network of around 10 global facilities provides a significant buffer against shifting trade policies. The South Korean tech giant plans to adjust output distribution based on future tariff developments.
Despite this relative insulation in its TV division, Samsung remains cautious about the broader impact of tariffs on other core segments such as memory chips and smartphones, which could see demand contraction. On Monday, Samsung shares fell by 4.3% amidst market jitters driven by tariff concerns.
With growing pressure from Chinese rivals and a volatile trade landscape, Samsung's global production agility could be key in maintaining its leadership in the electronics market.
