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

The law adds to a hostile business environment and exacerbated existing challenges from currency weakness, and economic, political and security risks that are weighing on purchasing power and consumer confidence. Taking these factors into consideration, BMI forecasts a contraction in the consumer electronics market in 2014 , with all three market segments affected , albeit to different degrees .

Headline Expenditure Projections

- Computer Hardware Sales: USD890mn in 2013 to USD756mn in 2014, -15% in US dollar terms. Forecast downgraded last quarter in the wake of the devaluation of the bolivar and domestic economic and security risks, exacerbating a decline in desktop and notebook sales.
- AV Sales: USD1.10bn in 2013 to USD1.0bn in 2014, -8.4% in US dollar terms. Forecast in US dollar terms unchanged, with demand for flat-panel TV sets hit by currency weakness.
- Handset Sales: USD1.1bn in 2013 to USD1.1bn in 2014, -2.1% in US dollar terms. Forecast in US dollar terms downgraded, but strength of local manufacturing in handsets and operator subsidies will help to absorb some of the impact of devaluation, resulting in stronger performance compared with the other consumer electronics segments.
