Consumer electronics in 2024: The big picture
Consumer electronics in Austria continues to witness volume decline in 2024, albeit at a much slower rate than the previous year. The decline in current value terms was significantly smaller, which had much to do with rising unit prices in smartphones, slower decline in televisions, and also steady demand for premium and innovative products.
2024 key trends
Due to the sharp decline in consumer demand, televisions have been the big problem child in consumer electronics in Austria since the pandemic. Again in 2024, declining consumption of conventional television channels and the increasing use of alternative screens, such as smartphones and laptops, remains problematic for television sales.
Competitive landscape
Samsung Electronics Austria’s namesake brand held the lead in consumer electronics over 2024, thanks to its leading positions in the key categories of smartphones and televisions. However, the brand again lost volume share in both these categories.
Retailing developments
Media Markt, the leading electronics and appliances specialist retailer, continues to implement its new global strategy in 2024. The company is transforming from a product-oriented retailer to a customer-centric service platform with the aim of guiding customers through a more complex world with constant technological innovations.
What next for consumer electronics?
Overall demand for consumer electronics is expected to decline further over the course of the forecast period, with no major growth opportunities foreseeable at the end of the review period. The expected slight increase in the average unit selling price is likely to be insufficient to compensate for falling general demand.
