New market study, "Israel Consumer Electronics Report Q2 2016", has been published

After a contraction in consumer electronics device spending in 2015 when negative product trends, an economic slowdown and shekel depreciation all contributed to lower spending, we anticipat e a modest recovery from 2016. The market is f orecast to grow at a CAGR of 3.5 % over 2016-2020 to USD3.3bn in 2020, with all three segments expected to return to growth from 2016. It is the computer segment that we expect to outperform over the medium term due to deferred purchases from 2015, low penetration of personal devices and strong income growth for higher earners in Israel envisaged by our country risk team. Meanwhile, AV spending will benefit from a more positive product cycle, with smart and Ultra-HD TV set upgrades countering price pressures evident in recent years - but the handset segment, which has outperformed since the launch of the iPhone, is expected to decelerate as a result of a d epleted pool of potential first- time buyers.
