Samsung Electronics recorded its highest-ever level of inventory assets as of the end of the third quarter of 2015, with estimations at around US$19.2 billion, according to Korea-based Digital Times.

The levels were due to weakening demand in the global economy, which also represent some of the highest ever recorded from Samsung, the report said, adding that Samsung's end product reserves have also been increasing.

Many of the end-product reserves are coming from Samsung's IT, IM and CE businesses, which have been affected due to weakening demand for TVs, smartphones and DRAM, the report noted.

The report added Samsung's cash flow was down 40% on year during the third quarter of 2015 compared with a year earlier.

Meanwhile, LG Electronics is also reportedly seeing similar trends and both vendors are planning to adjust their strategies heading into 2016, which will reportedly include increased focus on the China market, the report said.
