Outlook of the Romanian consumer electronics market
Technavio’s market research analyst has estimated that the Romanian consumer electronics market will grow at an impressive CAGR of almost 13% by 2020. The rising demand for flat-screen TVs in this region will lead to the strong growth of the consumer electronics market in this region. In this region, the television sets segment accounted for more than 29% of the Romanian consumer electronics market in 2015. However, this region has witnessed a shift in consumer preference from CRT-based television to flat screen TVs including LED, plasma, LCD, 3D, and smart TVs over the past decade. As a result, the sales of flat screen TVs have been growing at a rate of more than 11% over the past couple of years. The high demand for TVs has resulted in a decline in prices due to economies of scale, which has, in turn, made them more accessible to the consumers.
This market study also anticipates the sudden rise in the demand for wearables to impel market growth during the forecast period. Wearables include smartwatches and bracelets that monitor the wearer’s physical activity. In 2015, the market for wearables was less than 50,000 units, and it is expected to grow at an annual rate of 15% till 2020. A critical factor contributing to this growth is the Romanian populace’s increase in health consciousness. For instance, Romanian IT&C manufacturer, Evolio, launched a smartwatch named x-Watch, which can be connected to users’ smartphones to make calls or text. It can also be used to monitor physical activity.
