"Israel Consumer Electronics Report Q3 2011" now available at Fast Market Research

June 15, 2011 - PRLog -- Israel's consumer electronics devices market, defined as the addressable market for computing devices, mobile handsets and AV products, is forecast at around US$3.1bn in 2011. Spending is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5% to US$3.9bn by 2015, driven by growing popularity of feature-rich digital products such as LCD TV sets, notebook computers and other devices as well as a growing population and expanding PC penetration.

Israeli sales of consumer durables purchases such as TV sets and PCs surged 42.8% quarter-on-quarter (q-o-q) in Q410 on the back of a rebound in consumer confidence and new product releases. We believe private consumption, which typically comprises 55-60% of GDP, will continue to grow going forward albeit below the former trend rate of 2006-2008. To try and maintain sales volumes and margins, vendors will continue to focus on product innovation with products such as 3D TV sets and internet-enabled TVs.
