Executive summary

Economic backdrop

The Russian consumer market saw stable growth in general retail turnover over 2004 and 2005, underpinned by the increase in consumer incomes and rising spending power. In 2005, the share of non-foodstuff sales (including consumer electronics) in total retail sales was 54%. This is a greater percentage in comparison to previous years, and it shows that consumer lifestyles generally improved over the last two years.

Increasing demand in consumer electronics

The improvement in consumer living standards influenced demand for consumer electronics. In 2005, retail turnover of consumer electronics saw the biggest growth among non-foodstuffs retail sales. Generally, in Russia, consumers are changing their preferences and purchasing more sophisticated electronics and of higher quality.

Price rates slowed down

Another factor that boosted consumers demand for electronics was the moderate growth in prices of electronic goods compared to other products. To compare, price growth on consumer electronics was 1.5 times lower than growth in foodstuffs in 2005-2006. In addition to slow price growth, prices on some types of electronics such as LCD televisions, DVD and MP3 players actually decreased. These factors stimulated overall growth in the consumer electronics market in Russia.

Popularity of new technology

New technology formats are gaining in popularity in Russia. Among the most popular are: MP3 players; laptops; DVD players and LCD televisions. Falling prices and consumers' ability to buy more expensive products are among the factors that influenced high growth of new technology products. By contrast, volume sales of older technologies, such as cassettes decks and VCR players decreased significantly over the last two years.

Growth potential of regional markets

Central and regional consumer electronics markets differ from each other in terms of consumer preferences and market potential. In the regions, consumer incomes remain much lower than in the central cities. Regional consumers prefer cheaper products that are less sophisticated and more basic. However, this situation is changing and the economic situation in some Russian regions, such as Surgut, Yekaterinburg and Far East is improving. Now regional markets are considered to be full of potential and offer opportunity for high volume and value growth for sectors that are already saturated in the centres, such as mobile phones.

Changing distribution

The distribution of consumer electronics is changing, favouring growth of big retail chains and specialised shops. The share of open-air markets is dropping as specialised stores and chains offer a wider range of products; higher quality products and guaranteed customer service. As consumer choice is getting more sophisticated, they prefer to shop in specialised stores and chained supermarkets.
