Regional Analysis

Geographically, the global consumer electronics market share is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America and the Middle East & Africa (LAMEA).

Asia Pacific is dominating the global consumer electronics market due to huge population base that uses a large number of household appliances and smartphones, presence of prominent players, and growth in disposable income in economically developing countries such as China, India, and Indonesia. For instance, IBEF estimated that India consumer electronics market is estimated to reached USD 31.48 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach USD 48.37 billion at a CAGR of 9% CAGR by 2022. This is mainly attributed to favorable government initiatives pertaining to the promotion of smart city and smart home technologies.

North America is the second largest market, which is followed by Europe. On account of changing climatic conditions and increasing sizes of houses, demand for air conditioners has almost doubled in this region. In addition, the user penetration is 31.9% in 2019 and is expected to hit 37.1% by 2023. Apart from this, the use of kitchen appliances such as ovens, inductions, grinders, mixers, and fridge are expected to witness high demand in the coming years owing to rising adoption of tech-advanced products.

Europe is a mature region in the global consumer electronics market, which significantly gets benefited from the European Football Championship. According to the GFK survey, CE sector profited by 9.5% and reached USD 7.3 billion in the second quarter of the year 2016 from UEFA EURO 2016 football championship.

LAMEA holds the least share of the market owing to the poor infrastructure and reach of technological advancement, and limited availability of funds, especially in African countries. The Middle East is the major contributor to the regional market growth. In the near future, the region is expected to witness a sound growth due to many untapped opportunities in this region.
