Key findings

Sales of consumer electronics poised for recovery in 2021

Sales are projected to recover in 2021 after a decline in 2020. A full recovery is expected in 2022 as sales are projected to exceed pre-pandemic levels.

Mostly positive increases between the latest baseline forecasts and previous (Q1 2021)

Markets that have seen strong vaccination rollouts recorded marginal increase between the two quarters in projected growth. The growth reflects a growing consumer optimism as the world transits to the new normal.

Companies exploring new ways to engage users on digital platforms

The pandemic hastened companies' digital transformation as brands looked for new ways such as livestreaming and online live chats to engage users as many markets are still imposing lockdowns.

Investment in new technology to ignite interest in electronic products

Companies are investing to reinvigorate consumer electronics demand with new enhancements to attract consumers. LCD panels are now undergoing a massive upgrade to narrow the deficiency with OLED. 5G rollout will also drive demand for new phone models.

Cost-attractive products to appeal to the mass market

Companies are now trying to launch new mid-range models without major compromises to attract mainstream consumers who make up 60-70% of the market.
