The authors anticipate that the market size of the global consumer electronics market will remain flat at $681bn in 2010, owing to the weakness in the global economy.
- Against the backdrop of the global recession, cost competitiveness, technological innovations and emerging markets are the key drivers of the industry's transformational growth. The emergence of South Korean giants - Samsung and LG - as market leaders is commoditizing the industry.
- The fall-out of this fierce competition is companies such as Sony are struggling to gain a foothold in the industry, while other Japanese rivals are diversifying into new growth areas such as environment, energy and infrastructure in order to survive. On the other end of the spectrum we have Apple, which by leveraging on its disruptive innovations is able to earn supernormal profits, reinforcing the necessity of innovation.
- Even in the core hardware industry, in response to the declining margins technological companies are shifting to services and software. Several small M&A deals are facilitating this transition to emerging technologies such as smartphones and specialized software such as business analytics.
- Further, the onset of the global recession is challenging the traditional business model of selling premium priced products to developed markets. The trends now is scaling down many of the features of standard models and sell no-frills products at affordable prices to the low and middle income segments of emerging markets.
