Consumer electronics in 2025: The big picture
Volume sales of consumer electronics are set to fall in Sweden in 2025. An ongoing and prolonged economic downturn, combined with an uncertain geopolitical landscape, is weakening household spending power and consequently, dampening demand for consumer electronics. Consumers have become more cautious in their purchasing behaviour, showing increased sensitivity to prices and are more willing to choose lower-cost options and second-hand items. Many consumers are also opting to postpone their purchases until promotional sales periods, such as Black Friday.
2025 key trends
The use of AI for personalised experiences is gaining momentum in 2025. For instance, the Samsung Galaxy S25 smartphone series incorporates AI to transform how users interact with their devices. This technology offers seamless, intuitive, and tailored solutions that enhance and simplify the overall user experience. In wearable electronics, the next generation of products is focusing on devices designed for various areas of the body, not solely the wrists. There is also an emerging trend shifting away from health and fitness applications towards entertainment and computing. A notable example is launch of the Samsung Galaxy Ring, which provides a gesture to take photos or videos and dismiss alarms.
Competitive landscape
The competitive landscape in consumer electronics in Sweden is largely shaped by well-established global brands such as Apple, Canon, Garmin, HP, LG, Lenovo, and Samsung, all of which enjoy strong household recognition and loyalty.
Channel developments
Retail e-commerce leads channel sales distribution in 2024, and is set to increase its share. Its success is driven by the demand and convenience of 24/7 shopping, flexible delivery options, price transparency, and a complete product offering. Its leading position is supported by key retailers such as Elgiganten, NetonNet, Komplett, and Power.
What next for consumer electronics?
Volume sales of consumer electronics are expected to increase over the forecast period. However, the broader economic outlook remains uncertain, largely shaped by ongoing geopolitical tensions. Consumer sentiment is anticipated to stay subdued across the early forecast period, with households exhibiting heightened price sensitivity and cautious spending habits. Many individuals are likely to delay discretionary purchases until they feel more financially secure.
