Executive summary

Consumer Electronics a growing market

The Consumer Electronics market in Singapore experienced strong growth from 2003-2008, with sales for the 2007-2008 period markedly better than the 2006-2007 period. Much of this growth was due to various sub-sectors experiencing some of the most dramatic transformations ever witnessed in the industry as a whole, as new and emerging technology changes the way consumers live, work and play.

Singapore enters a technical recession; retail sales slump.

Singapore entered a recessionary phase in H208 – its first since 2002 – as the second and third quarters of 2008 saw the local economy contract. Much of this stems from the sub-prime crisis which has battered financial markets and economic conditions worldwide, as major financial institutions and banks collapse one by one, sending shockwaves throughout the world. Consumer retail sales have slumped as pessimism and fear of job losses grip consumers, who have firmly shut their wallets.

Flat-panel HDTVs still red-hot

Flat-panel HDTVs, both of the LCD and Plasma screen varieties, continue to expand at an astonishing pace as consumers continue to embrace the digital revolution and leave the dark age of analogue TVs behind them. An ultra-competitive market and falling costs of technology and manufacturing have also seen price cuts across this market segment, making these products more accessible to budget consumers; flat-panel HDTVs are now a common consumer electronic product, a far cry from the position of a toy for the rich, which it once held.

Japanese and Korean manufacturers continue to dominate

Japanese and Korean giants such as Sony, Samsung, Panasonic and LG, all of which are household names globally, continue to dominate the local consumer electronics scene, with Sony and Samsung currently slugging it out for overall market dominance. Samsung has unseated Sony to take the mantle of being the market leader in the ultra-competitive and strategically-important flat-panel HDTV market and is the only rival to Sony in terms of market reach and breadth. The digital revolution has breathed new life into multiple product segments, which were previously half-asleep, spurring innovation and technological leaps across the entire market as the key themes of convergence, connectivity and digital media sets the flavour for the entire market.

Future growth to remain healthy and strong

As the world becomes increasingly connected digitally, consumer electronics will play an increasingly critical role in how individuals, households and organisations function. No longer will consumer electronics be deemed a luxury or purely for entertainment – the digital revolution has ensured that a minimal level of consumer electronics will be required for integration and participation in the new world. As a result, the Consumer Electronics market is expected to continue growing over the future review period, as well as outperform the already impressive growth experienced over the current review period.
