Market Report, "Australia Consumer Electronics Report Q1 2016", published

Depreciation and product diffusion cycles (tablets, LED/LCD TV sets and smartphones) have resulted in significant volatility in the Australian consumer electronics market - and depreciation is forecast to result in another contraction in 2016. The market should however stabilise over the medium term as the economy stabilises and product categories return to volume growth trajectories primarily determined by replacement sales. We expect US dollar growth to return from 2017-2019 and offset the decline in 2016, with a CAGR of 0.2% forecast for 201 5 -2019 to USD11.1bn in 2019. There will however be select opportunities for faster growth: for instance , hybrid notebooks and high specification tablets , U ltra-HD TV sets , and wearable devices . This also downside though, with the potential for a hard landing in China a threat to our core scenario for a more supportive economic environment in Australia 2017-2019.
