Executive summary

Fall in both volume and value

The consumer electronics market in Spain fell by around 0.8% in units during 2008 and by about a 6.8% in value terms. The growth in both units is due to in-home products and in-car products (7.4% and 4.5% respectively). In value, however, the increase appears in the in-home and portable electronics sectors (5.5% and 4.1%). Notwithstanding the growth in-home goods is misleading because it focuses only on two products such as digital televisions (HDTV) and in the converters and decoders. Without the phenomenon of digital broadcasting there would be negative growth as in all other categories in the in-home market.

The economic crisis is affecting the market

The Spanish economy is leaving behind the times of excellent performance and high growth rates and it is facing a period of stagnation which has already begun and it is expected to last at least until 2010. During the second quarter of 2008, the Spanish GDP just grew 0.1% according to the data published by the Spanish National Bank. Apart from the construction crisis, private consumption is the other component which is explaining away the stagnation, as it only grew 1.9% during the same quarter. In that sense, consumer electronics market is suffering the consequences, as non-primary goods are usually the most affected in times of consumption stagnation.

All three markets share the podium

The most spectacular growth in 2008 has taken place in the portable media players sector with an increase in units of about 629% and 525% in value. This increase is driven by a shift of MP3 technology to MP4. The second place goes to HDTV with spending increases of 65% in units and 31.5% in value, also motivated by the shift from analogue technology to digital. The third place is for in-car DVD players growing 49% in units and 37.7% in value.

More concentration in in-home products

The in-home products normally involve a charge of technology and budget rather higher than those of portable products. Therefore, the concentration of companies in this market is much broader. But in the portable market the situation is not the same. Portable products are an emerging market and less mature product than in-home. Research and development is less expensive and therefore some companies have achieved significant market shares.

The stability will come in 2010

All the analysis from both the Spanish Government and from manufacturers and dealers predict that stability and improved economic conditions will take place from 2010 onwards. The previous period from 2008 to 2010 will be especially negative for the overall economy with unemployment rising and falling growth. As for the consumer electronics markets it is expected that the market for in-home products (due solely to the HDTV strength) will be the most dynamic subsector during the crisis period.
