Report Published: "Singapore Consumer Electronics Report Q4 2015"

Singapore has one of the weaker growth outlooks in the Asia Pacific region as a result of the maturity of the market, which is evident in the high penetration of desktops, notebooks, digital cameras and flat-screen TVs, as well as for new device categories such as smartphones and tablets . This mean s the Singapore market has passed through the period of strongest growth associated with rapidly rising penetration . There is upside potential if wearable computing devices prove mass market appeal in Singapore, or if uptake of u ltra-HD TV sets exceeds our expectation for it to be a high-income niche product. Despite limited growth prospects, it is relevant to highlight the fact the market will continue to be lucrative for vendors, with high levels of spending per capita a feature of the market due to high incomes, a strong economic outlook, consumer demand for the latest devices and short replacement cycles.

Headline Expenditure Projections

Computer Hardware Sales: USD2.04bn in 2014 to USD1.92bn in 2015, -5.7% in US dollar terms. Depreciation against the US dollar will exacerbate existing trends of tablet and desktop volume declines to result in contraction in market value in 2015.
AV Sales: USD748mn in 2014 to USD735mn in 2015, -1.7% in US dollar terms. The TV market is mature and price erosion will drag on value growth, but we expect the digital camera market will begin to stabilise from 2015, allowing for a slower rate of contraction than in 2014.
Handset Sales: USD839mn in 2014 to USD841mn in 2015, +0.2% in US dollar terms. We believe the handset market has reached a plateau with smartphone penetration of 75% at YE2014 and growth will underperform the majority of the Asia Pacific region 2015-2019.
