Samsung Electronics proudly announced today that it remains the global market leader in gaming monitors for the seventh consecutive year. Since 2019, the South Korean company has maintained this top position without interruption a feat unmatched in the high-end gaming industry.

According to the latest data from International Data Corporation (IDC), Samsung captured an 18.9% market share in 2025 based on revenue. This keeps the company well ahead in the premium segment. Samsung also continues to dominate the rapidly growing OLED gaming monitor segment, achieving an impressive 26% share for the third year in a row.

“As the world’s number 1 gaming monitor brand, our mission is to maintain this position through groundbreaking innovation,” said Hun Lee, Executive Vice President of the Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. “Our close collaborations with leading game studios drive our product development. With a clear technological roadmap, we remain focused on what truly matters: monitors that deliver top performance at critical moments.”

I’m excited about the next generation of innovations Samsung will bring to help us perform even better, faster, and more immersively.”

This partnership with icons like Faker underscores how Samsung not only provides advanced hardware but also truly understands what top gamers and esports professionals need.

Odyssey G6 (27-inch – model G60H)
