Hong Kong Consumer Electronics Report Q1 2012
Business Monitor International, Dec 2011, Pages: 47
Hong Kong's consumer electronics devices market, defined as the addressable market for computing devices, mobile handsets and AV products, is projected to be worth about US$4.4bn in 2012. This is expected to increase to US$5.3bn by 2016, with growth driven by products such as smartphones, touchscreen handsets, and tablets, as well as LED and 3D TV sets.
Vendors expect continued growth in the Hong Kong consumer electronics market in 2012. Sales were solid during H111 with year-on-year growth in product categories such as flat-panel TV sets, digital cameras and tablet PCs. Prices have firmed up thanks to the economic recovery but BMI warns that a cooling in the property market could have an impact on consumer spending going forward.
Computers
Computers accounted for about 56% of Hong Kong's consumer electronics spending in 2011. BMI forecasts Hong Kong computer hardware sales of US$2.5bn in 2012, and segment CAGR for the 2011-2015 period at about 4.4%. Apple's iPad sales remain strong and wireless networking will be an important driver of computer – and especially notebook – sales, with increasing demand for connectivity.
AV
AV demand is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.9% between 2012 and 2016 to a value of US$1.7bn in 2016. Video applications account for the largest share of the market, with growth areas including 3D TV, LED TV sets and Blu-ray DVD players.
Mobile Handsets
Sales of handsets in Hong Kong are expected to grow at a CAGR of about 6.1% to US$637mn in 2016. The market is driven mainly by replacements as penetration has passed 200%. 3G mobile subscribers are estimated to account for approaching two-thirds of the total mobile subscriber base. Meanwhile, the smartphone segment is forecast to increase three to four times faster than the market as a whole
