Consumer electronics in 2024: The big picture
Despite lingering concerns over budgets amid the high cost of living, demand for consumer electronics in Australia is improving in 2024. The industry faced several years of retail volume decline due to major challenges as a result of the rising cost of living and inflation, which severely affected major categories as consumers became more sensitive to spending on big-ticket items.
2024 key trends
Affordable indulgence has emerged as a trend in consumer electronics. Australians have become more aware and cautious of their expenditure, and they are more sensitive about purchasing big-ticket items.
Competitive landscape
Apple Computer Australia Pty Ltd and Samsung Electronics Australia Pty Ltd maintain their convincing leadership of consumer electronics in Australia. Their wide presence and strong brand loyalty have solidified their positions as the leading players.
Retailing developments
In a post-pandemic context, physical stores maintain their importance within the customer’s purchasing journey, with appliances and electronics specialists dominating overall distribution. Many Australians like to visit these outlets to test the products and discuss their requirements with in-store assistants.
What next for consumer electronics?
Demand for consumer electronics in Australia is expected to continue growing over the forecast period. New innovations, such as the integration of AI, are expected to differentiate between old and new technologies.
