Consumers demand greater innovation before committing to purchasing in saturated market

Overall consumer electronics continued to record declining retail volume sales in Taiwan in 2019, due to the saturation of larger categories including computers, smartphones and LCD TVs. A weak economy and increasing replacement cycles for many products is prompting manufacturers to continue to invest in researching and developing more innovative devices to persuade consumers to part with their money by upgrading to newer models.

Smart appliances and multifunctionality increasingly appeal to tech-savvy consumers

Smartphones continued to record some decline in retail volume terms due to a number of factors including increasing penetration rates, longer replacement cycles due to the superior performance and longer-lasting batteries of flagship brands and the offer of free phones with certain packages from retailers. However, the device continues to be appreciated for its multifunctional capabilities which has led to the slow demise of a number of products including digital cameras as many higher-end smartphones offer the ability to take quality photographs which can be quickly uploaded to social media sites such as Instagram, in-car navigation due to the improved GPS capabilities of many smartphones and the increasing trend for many consumers, especially younger Taiwanese, to listen to music on the go, with apps such as Spotify allowing consumers to arrange their own digital playlists that they can share and play through wireless speakers.

Samsung strengthens leadership, while Apple gains one position

Samsung Electronics Taiwan Co Ltd strengthened its leadership of overall consumer electronics in Taiwan in 2019, gaining further retail volume share, closely followed by Apple Inc which gained one position over AsusTek Computer Inc. All three companies offer consumers wide product portfolios across multiple categories with Samsung’s main strongholds including affordable smartphones, smart wearables and various in-home consumer electronics including LCD TVs in which it gained further share.

Electronics and appliance specialist retailers continues to lose consumers to internet retailing

Electronics and appliance specialist retailers continued to dominate the distribution landscape of consumer electronics in Taiwan in 2019, although it continued to lose retail volume share to the increasingly popular channel of internet retailing, as consumers gained greater confidence in moving online to find more competitive prices, after first visiting physical stores to test new products and benefit from in-store expertise. Therefore, store-based retailers are attempting to entice consumers back to their stores by remodelling existing outlets with innovative features and to deliver more professional in-store support in addition to offering experiential spaces that allow consumers to immerse themselves in the latest technology before making a purchase; however, this places further pressure on sales assistants to close deals as they are all too aware of the trend for showrooming amongst local consumers.

Innovation and multifunctionality will continue to dictate consumer demand moving forward

The decline in retail volume sales experienced by consumer electronics in Taiwan in 2019 is predicted to slow towards the end of the forecast period as mature but major categories such as laptops, smartphones and LCD TVs record improved performances as they have yet to face significant competition from substitutes and are still perceived to be essential or desirable by many consumers. Newer categories such as wireless speakers and wearable electronics will continue to perform strongly.
