Driven by demand for smartphones, tablets and wearable electronics, volume and value sales growth in consumer electronics will remain positive over the forecast period, but prices are expected to continue to fall.
Despite their lower margins slow growth, mature categories like LCD TVs and laptops offer vast volume sales, and companies cannot afford to ignore these products while chasing margins in emerging categories like wearable electronics.
The proliferation of increasingly powerful smartphones and tablets, as well as applications designed for these devices, along with growing mobile internet usage globally are the largest contributing factors to price erosion and the shortening of replacement cycles in computers.
While demand for in-car entertainment in developed markets continues to decline, growing car ownership and rising incomes in emerging markets make for positive prospects for aftermarket in-car entertainment.
As demand for home audio and cinema, as well as video players declines, TVs are becoming ever more crucial. While OLED TVs are expected to continue growing, LCD TVs will remain the primary technology.
Wearable electronics are expected to become mainstream products over the forecast period, but with lower prices and low overall volume sales they will not overtake smartphones, which will remain the largest growth driver in CE.
Electronics and appliance specialist retailers and internet retailing will remain the dominant channels for CE, but falling prices and slowing volume growth will result in a growing focus on non-CE products in these channels
