New Market Research Report: South Africa Consumer Electronics Report Q3 2010

Fast Market Research recommends "South Africa Consumer Electronics Report Q3 2010" from Business Monitor International, now available
 
June 16, 2010 - PRLog -- South Africa's consumer electronics devices market, defined as the addressable market for computing devices, mobile handsets and video, audio and gaming products, is projected at US$6.77bn in 2010. This expected to increase to US$9.91bn by 2014, driven by demographics, product innovation, rising incomes, and rising computer penetration.

BMI forecasts that consumer electronics spending growth will remain in the high single digits in 2010. Higher household debt and tighter credit availability will be restraints on growth, counterbalanced by falling prices of notebooks and flat screen televisions, and government digital programmes.

Computers

Computer hardware accounted for about 61% of South African consumer electronics spending in 2009. BMI projects South African domestic market computer hardware sales of US$4.12bn in 2010, up from US$3.73bn in 2009. Computer hardware's compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for 2010-2014 is forecast at about 11% as a result of rising computer penetration, falling prices and vendor and retailer promotions.

AV

Audio/video (AV) devices accounted for about 18% of South Africa's consumer electronics spending in 2009. South Africa's domestic AV device market is projected at US$1.20bn in 2010. This market is also expected to grow at a CAGR of 11% between 2010 and 2014, to a value of US$1.80bn, driven by new technologies and digital TV transition, which is due to be complete by 2012. However, a legal challenge to the government's transition process in summer 2009 has raised doubts about this schedule.

Mobile Handsets

Mobile handset sales accounted for 22% of South Africa's consumer electronics spending in 2009. South African handset sales are expected to grow at a CAGR of 5% to US$1.85bn by 2014, when mobile subscriber penetration is expected to reach 114%. The replacement market will be increasingly important and demand for 3G handsets has exceeded expectations, with nearly 20mn 3G subscribers forecast by 2014.
