TCL’s expansion play signals a shift rivals can’t ignore

TCL Philippines posted strong all-category growth in 2025, reinforcing its position as the country’s leading panel TV brand while expanding its presence across home appliances and air conditioning as it prepares for 2026.
The company said its performance reflects sustained consumer confidence built over 25 years of operations in the Philippines, with products designed to match local lifestyles and climate conditions.
TCL’s portfolio spans premium televisions, energy-efficient washing machines, and smart air conditioners, positioning the brand as a full home solutions provider rather than a single-category player.
Peter Chen, CEO of TCL Philippines, said the company considers 2025 a defining year that validated its long-term strategy of combining innovation with affordability. He added that TCL is focused on sustaining its momentum through new technologies and deeper market penetration in the coming year.
In the television segment, TCL retained its position as the top panel TV brand for the second straight year, supported by rising demand for higher-end display technologies such as QLED and Mini LED.
Company executives said Filipino consumers are increasingly seeking better picture quality, improved sound, and larger screens as premium models become more accessible.
Beyond televisions, TCL is shifting its air conditioning strategy by expanding from residential products into the commercial HVAC market.
The company plans to compete with established brands by offering flexible systems, competitive pricing, and end-to-end project support for developers and large organizations.
TCL is also strengthening its washing machine business with the rollout of the Super Drum C682, which the company described as a flagship product designed to reposition the brand as a premium and technology-driven manufacturer.
The washing machine segment is projected to post around 30 percent revenue growth in 2025, according to company estimates.
Looking ahead, TCL said its 2026 roadmap includes a major refresh of its refrigerator lineup and significant upgrades to customer service, warranty coverage, and post-purchase support.
The company said improving the overall ownership experience is key to converting strong sales into long-term brand loyalty.
