New Market Report Now Available: Bulgaria Consumer Electronics Report Q3 2011

June 18, 2011 - PRLog -- Bulgaria's domestic consumer electronics devices market, defined as the addressable market for computing devices, mobile handsets and AV products, is projected to be worth around US$1.3bn in 2011. 2010 was another difficult year for consumer electronics vendors in the Bulgarian market, with sales constrained as a result of the economic situation.

In 2011, we see scope for greater expenditure by households on some consumer electronics devices. Difficult conditions are expected to persist into 2011, but BMI forecasts faster growth from the second half of the year as consumer confidence picks up and credit availability improves. Bulgarian consumer electronics spending is projected to increase at a CAGR of 6.0% to US$1.7bn by 2015, driven by the growing popularity and affordability of digital lifestyle products like notebook computers and flat-screen TV sets.

Computers

BMI forecasts Bulgarian domestic market computer hardware sales (including notebooks and accessories) of US$741mn in 2011. Computer hardware CAGR for the 2011-2015 period is forecast at about 6.5%. Growth areas in the next few years are expected to include low and mid-range servers, laptops, netbooks and tablets, storage devices and desktop PCs.
