According to experts interviewed by the newspaper, the expansion of TCL Electronics' business in the Russian market may bring new opportunities for consumers and competition for existing brands. However, the success of this step will depend on the demand for their products and the effectiveness of their marketing and advertising strategies, experts say.

According to them, in Russia TCL is better known as a supplier of smartphones, and in many categories of goods it is not even represented in the country. For example, the company mainly works with video panels and occupies almost 13% of the global market. The opening of monobrand points may be associated with the desire of the company's management to present all product lines on the Russian market, but finding free space for the company will not be easy, and it will have to queue, experts say.

Chinese brands filled the niches vacated after the departure of American and European companies, and also squeezed out fluctuating Korean retailers, comments independent analyst Sergei Vilyanov. According to experts, Chinese companies by 2024 occupy 70% of the electronics market, depending on the segment.^[1]
