New Consumer Goods market report from Business Monitor International: "Philippines Consumer Electronics Report Q3 2013"

Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 06/07/2013 --BMI expects the Philippines IT market will grow by around 7% in 2013. Despite an uncertain economic outlook, consumer electronics spending is likely to remain fairly strong in the coming quarters, with government spending providing a stimulus. The Philippines was one of the strongest regional TV markets in 2012 and the country's move to digital broadcasting should receive a boost from the government's selection of the Japanese ISDB-T standard. Given the Philippines' low PC penetration, many provincial markets are relatively untapped territories, while rural populations contain the largest number of potential first-time mobile handset purchasers. Vendors will seek profit from product innovation such as smartphones based on the Android operating system, and 3D and LED TV sets.
