Retail volume sales continue to fall

The volume sales of consumer electronics in Australia continued to fall in 2017, marking the third consecutive year of decline. However, categories such as smart wearables, analogue activity watches, OLED televisions and wireless speakers registered strong volume gains and continued to attract consumer interest. Many other categories, such as imaging devices and desktops, continued to record significant declines, mainly due to category maturity, longer replacement cycles and the strong penetration of various other devices. The multi-functionality of smartphones and the growing popularity of streaming digital media pushed some entire categories, such as portable media players and video players, to the brink of obsolescence. As a result, despite a few areas of significant growth, overall volume sales of consumer electronics continued to decline.

Connectivity puts the spark back into consumer electronics

In 2017, connectivity drove volume sales of consumer electronics in Australia. In a world of product innovation, “connected” was the buzzword of 2017 as most major brand manufacturers introduced a plethora of connectivity features to add real value to a maturing consumer electronics industry. Companies such as Apple, Google and Samsung are creating opportunities for more profound relationships with consumers by introducing new technologies and shifting to more profitable business models other than selling hardware alone. Consumers like meaningful technologies when they are convenient and can deliver a more seamless experience. This sparked the emergence of a new range of connected devices which an increasing number of consumers can relate to and make use of.

Fierce competition from budget to mid-priced brand manufacturers

Most major manufacturers of consumer electronics faced increasing competition as overall demand for their dominant product ranges is falling. Businesses and private consumers are demanding more for less, and a lack of innovation or product necessity, global competition, the maturing consumer electronics market and lower barriers to entry contributed to the rising presence of lower-priced brand manufacturers. These cheaper offerings should not be confused with low quality, poorly designed products which use generic off-the-shelf components. In contrast, they are often well-conceived, well-made and have many of the premium features and quality which were previously only found in flagship products demanded by mainstream consumers.

Dick Smith shutters its stores

2017 marked the first full calendar year since the closure of Dick Smith’s stores in Australia. 2017 was not kind to bricks-and-mortar retailers in Australia. Despite electronics and appliance specialists accounting for the majority of volume sales, internet retailing continued to register year-on-year growth in all consumer electronics categories in Australia. Retailers were aware of this trend and so are heavily investing in improving their omni-channel capabilities.

Market maturity set to lead to a further decline in volume sales over the forecast period

Retail volume sales of overall consumer electronics are expected to continue to fall over 2017-2022. Even though categories such as wireless speakers are anticipated to grow, this will not be enough to offset the retail volume sales decline projected for categories such as computers and peripherals and in-car entertainment. It is 10 years since Steve Jobs unveiled the first iPhone and kicked off a smartphone boom, and it is expected that the ubiquity of this device will continue to exert pressure on a range of other consumer electronics. However, it is also anticipated that the maturity of the category and longer replacement cycles will negatively impact smartphone volume sales over the forecast period.
