Global Consumer Electronics Market Dynamics:
Growth Drivers: The global consumer electronics market is driven by the excessive demand for smartphones. New technological advancements and attracting new features in built-in smartphones are rapidly increasing the market share of consumer electronics. Smartphones offer a wide range of features and functions beyond communication. They serve as portable computers, cameras, gaming devices, music players, GPS navigation systems, and more. Consequently, smartphones have become a status symbol and a cultural phenomenon, influencing consumer behavior. Other drivers such as rising disposable income, e-commerce expansion, rising popularity of wearables, adoption of artificial intelligence, growth in residential sector, favorable government initiatives, increasing use of smart speakers, etc. are significantly influencing the consumer electronics market.
Challenges: Counterfeit products pose a serious threat to the consumer electronics industry. Any electronic device or a product purchased from an unauthorized seller can be dangerous. Fakes can endanger a consumer’s health and financial status at large. As a result, consumers tend to lose trust in the specific brand which eventually reduces the market base. Additionally, lack of infrastructure and electricity infrastructure constraints hinder the adoption of consumer electronics in less developed economies. These countries also lack digital literacy, a key component required to operate consumer electronics.
Market Trends: The consumer electronics market is evolving with the emergence of 5G networks. Smartphones, Tablets, Laptops imbibe 5G networks and appear more lucrative to consumers. With its significantly increased speed (10x to 100x faster than 4G), 5G is poised to revolutionize mobile communications and enable the digitalization of many new aspects of everyday life. Its ability to transfer massive amounts of data will enable the connectivity required to increase the adoption of smart devices. More trends in the market are believed to grow the consumer electronics market during the forecasted period, which may include, rise of Internet of Things (IoT), increasing popularity of social commerce, advancement in AR/VR, sustainability, E-Mobility, and many more.
Impact Analysis of COVID-19 and Way Forward:
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic had a wide-ranging impact on sales of consumer electronics. The economic impact of the pandemic has resulted in reduced consumer spending, especially on non-essential items. This has led to a temporary decline in sales of certain consumer electronics products, particularly high-priced items such as premium laptops and smartphones. With people spending more time at home, there has been greater emphasis on home entertainment, fitness, and personal productivity. After solid growth in consumer electronics demand, fueled by remote work and increased time spent at home, the market has now entered a normalization phase, intensified by the deterioration of the macroeconomic environment.
Post-COVID Companies have focused on improving devices' performance, connectivity, and features to meet the changing needs of consumers. The rollout of 5G networks has gained momentum post-COVID, offering faster speeds, lower latency, and improved connectivity.
