Countries covered: Global The global consumer electronics industry is set to witness a phenomenal growth in the near future, with the rising technological innovations. The digital technology revolution has enabled the industry to earn profit from the growing interaction of digital applications, like camcorders, DVD player/recorder, etc. The biggest bright part for the consumer electronics industry during 2010 was the good performance
of the LCD-TV segment. With these technological advancements, the global consumer electronics industry generated revenue of US$ 873 Billion, an increase of around 13% over previous year. According to our new research report Global Consumer Electronics Market Forecast to 2013, the global consumer electronics industry will grow at a CAGR of around 7% during 2012-2015. During this period, the 3D TV is expected to experience the highest growth as manufacturers will start adding 3D as a standard feature to their high-definition (HD) flat-panel product lines. We have also found that presently, the US is dominating the global consumer electronics industry, closely followed by the China. As per our research, two-thirds of the US households owned a HDTV in 2010, and LCD TV was leading the digital display market. Moreover, India and China, having low penetration of digital TV, are expected to cross 50% penetration rate by 2015. Besides, the number of digital TV penetration is expected to grow rapidly, with Asia Pacific and Europe capturing the maximum number of DTV homes. It is also expected that the HDTV will witness a significant growth during the coming years, with North America leading the global HDTV homes, at present. Our report Global Consumer Electronics Market Forecast to 2013 provides an extensive information and rational analysis of the global consumer electronics industry and its emerging trends. It provides an insight into the regional trends together with the discussion on the product segmentation. We have thoroughly analyzed the market size, growth opportunities, regional segmentation, and trends in technology to present a comprehensive overview of the market. We have also included the key players segment to provide a brief idea of the competitive landscape.
The Indian consumer electronics industry has been growing at a double-digit growth rate since past few years. Higher disposable income, increased product awareness, affordable pricing, and shift in lifestyles have together been instrumental in changing the amount and pattern of consumer spending; thereby, resulting in strong growth in the consumer electronics industry. But still, the consumer electronics goods, like refrigerators, televisions and air conditioners, have low penetration in the country, leaving vast room for future growth.

Source: DisplaySearch Advanced Quarterly Global TV Shipment and Forecast Report As for worldwide 3DTV shipments during the quarter, Sony was the top 3D LCD TV brand on a unit basis, and Panasonic was the top 3D PDP TV brand. However, in total combined 3DTV shipments across all technologies, Samsung was the leader in the U.S. and worldwide, DisplaySearch said.
For the full year 2010, Samsung remained No. 1 in total flat-panel TV, although its global share fell by a point from 2009 on growth from LG Electronics as well as increases by Japanese brands due to the strong home market. The report said that following sharp declines in Q3 2010, global TV shipments rose 15 percent year to year to a record 77.6 million units in Q4. An improvement in annual growth rate, which had fallen to 9 percent year to year in Q3 2010, was attributed to improved growth in developed markets, particularly North America, which had experienced a substantial slowdown during the first half of the year, DisplaySearch said. Globally, Samsung was the No. 1 LCD TV brand in Q4 2010, and Panasonic was the No. 1 plasma TV brand. Meanwhile, DisplaySearch said that by region, Samsung was No. 1 in LCD TV unit share in most markets during 2010. However, Chinese brands still dominate the domestic China market, and Vizio moved past Samsung on a volume basis for LCD TVs in North America. China was the only region to decline in Q4 2010, falling 2 percent year to year as a significant decline in CRT TV shipments more than offset growth of LCD and plasma, the report said. For the first time since Q1 2010, LCD TV had stronger year-to-year growth than plasma TV, as prices for LED-backlit LCD TV models fell a little faster -- increasing LED share to 30 percent for the first time, DisplaySearch said. Prices for standard CCFL-backlit LCD TVs also fell due to panel price declines. Plasma TV growth continued to be positive, rising 20 percent year to year, although there are signs that the growth rate is starting to slow as LCD TV prices become more competitive at key screen sizes, particularly 42 inches. Global CRT TV shipments continue to contract at a rate of about 30 percent year to year each quarter, DisplaySearch said. "Demand for flat-panel TVs remains strong. However, consumers held off on purchases during a very stable pricing period in the first half of 2010," said Paul Gagnon, DisplaySearch North America TV research director. "LCD TV panel prices started falling in July, but due to the length
of the supply chain, it takes about a quarter for those prices to be realized at retail." Improving shipment growth in regions like Japan, North America and Western Europe meant the developed regions regained the lead in total flat-panel shipments. In particular, Japan, a market with very high flat-panel TV household penetration, saw total TV shipments increase more than 100 percent year to year, to more than 10 million units for the first time ever, as consumers rushed to take advantage of the government sponsored Eco-Points program before it ends in early 2011. Meanwhile, DisplaySearch said it now using a new process for surveying 3DTV shipments, reporting historical data and forecasts on shipments, revenue, and pricing of 3DTVs, broken down by brand, region, technology, size and other features. The new criteria showed that 3DTVs accounted for about 9 percent of total TV revenues worldwide in Q4 2010, and much more in certain segments, like 40-inch-plus 120Hz LCD TVs, which were nearly 20 percent 3D in Japan, DisplaySearch said. LED-backlit LCD TVs also continued to grow share, rising to 30 percent of total LCD TV unit shipments for the first time, while 120Hz and higher frame rates accounted for just under a quarter of LCD units. Global LED premiums dropped from more than 50 percent in Q3 2010 to less than 40 percent in Q4 2010 for 32-inch sets. This has been made possible through improvements in LED component costs and a reduction in the number of LEDs required in a given design due to improved efficiency
