Consumer electronics records a slight volume decline in 2017

Total volume sales of consumer electronics declined slightly in 2017 following two years of positive growth. Despite solid performances from newly emerging categories such as wearable electronics, wireless speakers and OLED televisions, the majority of consumer electronics categories posted a decline in volume sales, with some being particularly heavy.

Competition starting to be seen in voice-activated wireless speakers

In 2017, competition started to be seen in voice-activated wireless speakers, with this mainly led by local telecoms companies SK Telecom and KT Corp. Television advertisements were frequently used by both companies in their bid to gain ground. The level of competition is set to intensify at the end of 2017 as more voice-activated wireless speakers are introduced by local web portal services Naver and Kakao as well as LG UPlus.

Local players remain strong

Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics remained the leading two players in consumer electronics in 2017 thanks to offering a wide range of products across various categories. The strength of these two local players has made it difficult for other companies to gain any significant ground in the South Korean market.

Electronics and appliance specialist retailers remains the leading distribution channel

Electronics and appliance specialist retailers remained the dominant distribution channel in 2017 for most consumer electronics categories. In-car entertainment was the only category led by other non-grocery specialists due to the importance of specialist workshops. Internet retailing was the second largest distribution channel for consumer electronics in South Korea, recording further gains in 2017. The influence of internet retailers continued to grow in categories offering a wide range of products. Due to the diverse range of products and their features, and the need for professional advice, using both offline and online channels to compare products and prices remained a common practice among local shoppers.

Fairly modest volume growth expected over the forecast period

Consumer electronics is expected to record fairly modest volume growth over the forecast period. The majority of categories are mature and already enjoyed strong penetration at the end of the review period. Although new niche categories are offsetting the decline of more mature ones, their growth may be limited over the forecast period. These will include televisions, wireless speakers and wearable electronics.
