New Consumer Goods market report from Business Monitor International: "Czech Republic Consumer Electronics Report Q1 2013"

 

Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 01/09/2013 -- BMI forecasts single-digit growth in the Czech consumer electronics market in 2012 due to continued weakness in Czech consumer spending. In 2012, household consumption continues to be battered by a combination of fiscal austerity at home and low confidence as a result of a high degree of uncertainty surrounding the future of the eurozone bloc. Trading conditions remain difficult and consumer spending will be weighed down by fiscal austerity and still elevated unemployment, while rising inflation will continue to eat away at households' disposable income. Data released by the Czech Statistics Office (CSO) show that real retail sales fell by 1.0% year-on-year (y-o-y) in June according to data released by the CSO.

The main consumer electronics growth drivers will be product innovation, rising incomes, lower prices and the growing popularity of feature-rich digital lifestyle products such as flat-screen digital TV sets, notebook computers and digital cameras.
