Demand for consumer electronics in Europe is largely met by imports from Asia, particularly China, due to the enormous production capacities and efficient supply chains. European production has to contend with higher labour costs, which makes it less competitive than Asian production. Japan and South Korea are leaders in this industry and focus on innovative R&D to produce high-quality, state-of-the-art consumer electronics. Over the five years through 2024, revenue is expected to rise at an annual rate of 0.1% to €24.0 billion. Profit has also risen despite intense competition from manufacturers in Asia. Central and Eastern European countries (e.g. Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Romania) are attracting large Asian electronics companies, as they offer lower operating costs, skilled labour and proximity to a large consumer market. These countries also offer tax incentives and subsidies, which attract foreign investment. Trends in consumer electronics are changing rapidly, with current interest centred on advanced products such as OLED and QLED smart TVs, which are replacing technologies such as LCDs from a decade ago. To remain competitive, high investment in R&D is essential. Economic difficulties in many countries have encouraged consumers to be cautious about spending on new TVs and sound systems, challenging the European consumer electronics industry. Revenue is expected to drop by 3.0% in 2024. Over the five years through 2029, revenue is expected to expand at a compound annual rate of 3.6% to €28.6 billion. Samsung's QLED technology is gaining ground as a competitor to LG's popular OLED TVs. Energy efficiency is a growing concern for Europeans as electricity costs rise; this will prompt manufacturers to develop more energy-efficient TVs. As production moves to low-wage countries, European manufacturers will focus on niche markets and unique products to remain competitive. The right to repair in the EU, which promotes sustainable consumption, may impact sales of new devices, as consumers will likely opt for repairs. However, it also opens up opportunities for manufacturers of spare parts.

Consumer electronics producers have endured moderate volatility in recent years. Producers have somewhat benefited from shifts in consumer behavior, with the growing popularity of entertainment in audio form, like podcasts, driving demand for new audio equipment. Similarly, smart TVs have become more popular amid the fast adoption of streaming services, as many of these have streaming apps integrated into their software. Manufacturers developing products that adapt to changing consumer needs and preferences have protected producers from sharper losses. However, during this time, heightened macroeconomic instability, including elevated inflation, interest rates and consumer uncertainty, contributed to drastic revenue losses as the discretionary nature of new electronics pushed consumers to postpone or cancel nonessential purchases. Other factors like supply chain disruptions, climbing input prices and protectionist policies have pushed electronic prices higher, making them less appealing to increasingly price-conscious buyers. Competing with the two largest producers of consumer electronics, Foxconn and Samsung, is proving to be increasingly challenging, mainly as Apple and Samsung smartphones are widely popular among consumers worldwide. However, the industry remains highly competitive, particularly in generic electronics production, including more affordable headphones and other equipment. Technological innovations in recent years have focused on improving existing features rather than introducing new ones, making improvements less noticeable and replacement purchases less attractive to buyers. Despite this, producers must allocate more resources toward research and development efforts, driving wages up and squeezing profit. These trends will cause revenue to drop at an estimated CAGR of 5.2% to 1.1 trillion through the end of 2024 despite a 2.3% jump that year alone. Improving macroeconomic conditions over the coming years is set to support electronics manufacturers. Stabilizing global factors like cooling inflation and economic growth, particularly in developed countries, will contribute to growing demand for new electronics. Governments will continue to incentivize the domestic production of inputs like semiconductors, diversifying the distribution of suppliers and directly impacting the consumer electronics supply chain. Competition will continue to ramp up in countries with low smartphone penetration. Rising socio-political tensions and the possible trade war between the United States and other countries threaten growth. Current trends are set to make revenue climb at an estimated CAGR of 3.1% through the end of 2029 to $1.3 trillion.

White non-hispanic consumers continued to comprise the largest share of wine drinkers in the United States in 2023, but their percentage has been diminishing as other ethnic groups have grown in the market.
