Volume sales continue to decline

The volume sales of consumer electronics in the UK continued to fall in 2017. Wireless speakers and wearable electronics were the only categories to register strong volume growth and generate considerable interest among consumers. Many other categories continued to record significant declines, mainly due to a lack of innovation and the already strong penetration of various devices, from televisions to smartphones.

Connected consumer electronics drive value sales

In 2017, connected consumer electronics drove sales in the UK. With the increasing digitalisation of everyday life, digital content and data are becoming ever more important, due to which wireless connections in various products are a key selling point.

Fierce competition due to falling consumer interest and shrinking margins

Most manufacturers of consumer electronics are facing increasing competition as overall demand for these products is falling. While the value sales of some products are growing due to features such as wireless connectivity, voice control or larger screen sizes, volume sales are declining across categories. This is down to already high penetration rates and longer replacement cycles, which are mainly due to a lack of innovation or product necessity.

Specialists try to better distinguish themselves from online retailers

Despite the majority of volume sales being accounted for by electronics and appliance specialists, internet retailing is registering growth in all consumer electronics categories in the UK. Retailers are aware of this trend and so are heavily investing in online and mobile platforms. However, in-store specialist advice and customer service continue to be greatly valued by consumers, most of whom still prefer to purchase directly in stores.

Further declines on the horizon

Even before factoring in the anticipated impact of Brexit, consumer electronics in the UK is expected to remain on a downward trajectory over the forecast period. Almost all categories will continue to record a decline in volume terms, with the heaviest contractions expected in in-car entertainment and portable media players. Bucking the trend will be wireless speakers and wearable electronics, which are anticipated to achieve strong volume gains over the forecast period. These two categories are still emerging and are set to witness the launch of a high number of new products.
