The UAE’s consumer electronics spending will grow by about 6% in US dollar terms in 2012 to US$3.8bn. In 2012 solid growth in consumer electronics sales is expected, but the fastest growth is likely to be in the tourist segment, while local consumers remain more cautious. Another factor driving this trend is a pick-up in the number of tourists, which has provided a boost to the all-important carrytrade Structural weaknesses still stand in the way of a more pronounced recovery, including weak credit conditions and Dubai's onerous debt repayment schedule. However, the outlook for household consumption has picked up in recent months and we are now forecasting this to grow by 8.0% in 2012.

Headline Expenditure Projections:
