PROSPECTS

Demand for portable media players continues to decline due to multifunctionality of smartphones and tablets for on-the-go viewing

Although overall portable players registered positive retail volume growth in 2019, a stronger performance was hampered by the strong retail volume decline recorded by portable media players, which lack innovation and connectivity, pushing consumers to move to smaller multifunctional devices that are easier to carry whilst travelling, such as smartphones or tablets. Lack of connectivity of portable media players means that they do not support the ongoing trend for streaming apps and can only be used to play downloaded files or discs.

Wireless speakers continues to record impressive performance offering convenience and interactive features

Wireless speakers continued to record stronger retail volume growth in 2019 in line with the general trend across consumer electronics in Taiwan for convenience, in addition to greater portability due to their light weight and smart features, allowing them to be moved around different spaces. Compatibility with smartphones, laptops and tablets is encouraging an increasing number of consumers to purchase wireless speakers, particularly if the devices have unsatisfactory built-in speakers.

Limited demand for e-readers compounded by lack of Chinese language content

E-readers suffered from limited availability in Taiwan, with no local presence for Amazon, while Amazon Kindle only ships to the country via its website in Japan, amongst others. Any consumers interested in owning a Kindle tend to purchase the product through parallel imports, although due to lack of demand there is only one online retailer that offers this service.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Strong entry for TicHome in wireless speakers threatens fragile lead of Philips

With such a strong performance by wireless speakers in 2019, most brands in the category recorded impressive retail volume growth rates. Wireless speakers continued to be a highly fragmented landscape, with Philips holding a fragile lead due to the high number of smaller brands entering, encouraged by the dynamic potential of this category.

Apple and Sony record positive performances in declining category

With declining demand for portable multimedia players in 2019, the category was left with only four major players, with Sony and Apple the two most notable, leaving the highest retail volume share for “others”. Unlike other players, Apple and Sony experience stronger performances in their own exclusive outlets as they are able to display a higher number of models and offer professional in-store consultations with specially-trained sales assistants.

Growth potential of wireless speakers to encourage higher number of players and greater innovation

The high growth potential of wireless speakers will not only encourage an increasing number of players to enter over the forecast period but will also lead to further development of functionality. Leading computer player, AsusTek, has collaborated with LG to launch an exclusive wireless smart speaker, Xiao-Bu, on the website 486shop.
