Philippines Consumer Electronics Report Q2 2015 - New Study Released

We expect strong sales growth in the Philippine consumer electronics market over the medium term as incomes rise and device prices decline amidst intense vendor competition. We forecas t growth of 7.9% in 2015, a slight deceleration from 2014 as the AV segment returns to a lower growth trajectory after TV set upgrade demand brought forward by the FIFA World Cup tournament in Brazil . Consumer electronics spending is expected to remain strong over the medium term, with government spending providing a stimulus supplementing technology trends such as demand for smartphones and tablets.

Computer Sales: USD2.1bn in 2014 to USD2.2bn in 2015, +6.8% in US dollar terms. Booming sales of Android tablets expected to continue, while we expect a resurgence in notebook sales to add to growth momentum in 2015 as vendors tap the first-time buyer opportunity.

AV Sales: USD1.1bn in 2014 to USD1.2bn in 2015, +7.3% in US dollar terms. AV sales increased markedly in 2014 as TV sales were boosted by the FIFA World Cup, but we forecast a return to a lower growth trajectory in 2015.
