As for clean energy, the consumption rate of silicon material per product dropped significantly which led to a rapid rise in gross profit per product. In terms of materials for clean energy, the Group's production capacity continued to increase; not only did shipments accelerate, the scale of production and sales increased significantly year-on-year.
Revenue for TCL Industrials reached US$15.96 billion, representing a year-on-year growth of 18% and a net profit of US$636 million, up 74% year-on-year. TCL's consumer electronics business has gained steady growth benefiting from a breakthrough in the mid-to-high-end business and full coverage of different product categories in the global market.
TCL consumer electronics took the lead in the Mini LED field with the synergy of supply chain vertical integration. The sales volume of TCL's mid-to-high-end TV has grown significantly. The sales of QLED TVs and Mini LED TVs have increased by 53.8% and 50.5% year-on-year respectively. According to the data from market research firm GfK, in 2021, TCL TVs grabbed a higher market share in terms of sales volume at 11.5% ranking among the top 3 in the world.
In the meantime, the Group maintained a strong focus on corporate social responsibility. The Group earlier released an ESG report outlining TCL's plans for a "dual carbon" strategy.

Driven by innovative technologies, TCL CSOT helps boost digital transformation and build a smart factory. Its energy management system ("EMS") can provide visualized and real-time monitoring, analysis and processing of key energy consumption indexes increasing the efficiency of operational decisions helping reduce consumption and enhance energy conservation.
