Pressure to sell dragging down prices

Retail volume growth continues to outpace retail value, as retailers and manufacturers launch lower priced models in a bid to attract consumers. High ticket items like LCD TVs have proved to be more resilient to price drops.

Convertible laptops slowing decline in retail value sales

Convertible laptops are priced at a premium to traditional laptops, and the boost in demand will translate into higher profit margins for manufacturers

Older cars in emerging markets sustaining demand

The large number of passenger cars in use are helping to sustain demand for in-car entertainment products. Prices are also holding up as car enthusiasts are willing to pay for upgrades.

Ultra HD helping to cushion against price drop

Consumers are buying larger screen LCD TVs, while interest in Ultra HD TV is helping push up prices. Ultimately, the TV maintains a critical place in the household.

Smartphones growth driven by feature phone upgraders

Manufacturers are stepping up investment in emerging markets, due to the low smartphone penetration rates.

Autonomous sales tied to smartphones

As smartphones have grown to become a necessity for many, consumers are looking to wearables as an extension of the smartphone experience.

DSLRs driving prices up

Despite declining demand for digital cameras, some consumers will be willing to purchase better quality and higher priced models.

Store-based retailers reign supreme

Despite strong growth in internet retailing, store-based retailers still dominate, as many consumers prefer to test products before buying.
