Import substitution failed? #Russia has stopped producing the only domestic TV

The #Voronezh plant "#Kvant" announced the end of production of the #Irbis_TV. There are no plans to resume production in the future.

It was the only domestically produced TV, but the demand for it was extremely low. TVs of foreign brands - #LG, #Sony, #Samsung, #Xiaomi, #Haier, and others - were more popular.

It doesn't seem to be very solid somehow.

Russia’s sole domestic television manufacturer Kvant has discontinued production due to low demand and high costs, the Kommersant business newspaper reported Wednesday, citing the CEO’s letter to shareholders.
