New Consumer Goods market report from Business Monitor International: "India Consumer Electronics Report Q3 2014"

Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 08/06/2014 --The Indian consumer electronics spending is growing rapidly, with robust demand growth for computer hardware and handsets driving spending higher. We expect the total consumer electronics spend in India will increase by 16.3% in US dollar terms in 2014 to USD46.1bn. The medium term outlook is strong, with spending forecast to be driven by rising incomes, declining device prices and the fact that 45% of India's population is under 25. PC market growth is currently being driven by laptops and by tablets, albeit sales of the latter are growing from a very small base. Meanwhile, sales of smartphones are expected to be the outperforming segment of the market as first-time buyers continue to enter the market alongside the boost from consumers upgrading to smartphones. Spending on consumer electronics devices is projected to grow at an overall CAGR of 10.9% through to the end of our five-year forecast to 2018.
