Computers and Peripherals in France - New Market Report

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.
Published: Tue Jan 12 2016


With the euro plunging against the US dollar by over 20% since May 2014, the price level for retail computers and peripherals rose by an average of 8% in 2015. Despite a 3% drop in retail volume sales, the category’s value still progressed by 5%. At product level, tablets retail volume sales dropped by 6%, chiefly due to increasing saturation brought about by a penetration rate of over 40% as of early 2015. In addition, demand for tablets continued to be partially cannibalised by phablets. Convertible laptops contributed to keeping retail volume sales of laptops afloat. Sales of monitors remained positive in retail volume terms in 2015; this category started to recover as from 2014, mainly driven by demand from gamers following the late-2013 launch of generation-8 consoles, and a generational preference of younger consumers to opt for advanced multimedia monitors.

With a 16% retail volume share in peripherals and computers, Hewlett-Packard France led sales in 2015. The company gained share in portable computers, notably thanks to some of its low-cost/sleek-designed convertible laptops, and maintained its competitive edge in the declining desktops and printers categories.

Industry Prospects

Over the forecast period, retail volume sales of computers and peripherals is likely to remain flat; desktops will remain on a declining trend and product renewal, innovation and the preference for portable alternatives will likely contribute to maintaining volume sales of laptops and tablets. However, the outlook for peripherals is expected to be negatively impacted by the ongoing decline in sales of printers. In terms of business sales, volume sales of computers are set to decline at a CAGR of 3%, mainly due to a low confidence index among the business community and the increasing shift towards BYOD practices.
