Consumer electronics are present in our everyday lives – no matter if communications, entertainment, infotainment, home office or household articles of daily use. Electronics manufacturers, suppliers and wholesalers in the consumer electronics market are represented around the world. As electronics companies face today a rapidly changing, globalised market, it is of great importance to find matching business partners for the manufacture and supply of electronic components or for electronics distribution in a local consumer market.

 

There is a remarkable shift in the consumer electronic market concerning product innovation cycles whose duration is constantly decreasing. The progress in high-tech devices and the demand for cost-effective, moderns and convenient electronics are key characteristics of the global consumer market. There is a great demand for intelligent electronic products with a high level of automation and easy usage.

 

Consumer trends in audio, video and computer electronics have undergone tremendous changes throughout the past years. Falling prices, shorter innovation cycles and the rapid development of follow-up models have changed consumer electronics and consumer behaviour. Most products, such as computers or digital electronics in general, have a planned obsolescence. For this so called new E-waste, recycling methods and sensitisation of consumer behaviour is essential. This shift also forces international companies, which are active in the electronic distribution sector, to search for appropriate recycling methods for components whose ingredients might be toxic or not biodegradable.

 

Quite extraordinary development and innovation processes have changed size, functionalities and usage of consumer electronics. A/V technology, which stands for audio/video technology, has changed our media reception and entertainment behaviour. Video recorders are commonly replaced by a DVD player or even a personal computer in our homes and offices. Audio equipment such as headphones, loudspeakers and amplifiers improved their performance and support efficiently home entertainment and acoustics systems.

An even more obvious shift can be seen in the telecommunications sector: A couple of years ago, cordless telephones, copying and fax machines were revolutionary innovations in office management and private households. Today, mobile phones, high-tech scanners and flat screens are indispensable for both, business and private usage. Not to mention TV systems or cameras. These trends also apply to an electronic distributor of car components. Car audio and car DVD devices are more and more common. When in former times a radio was used for simply listening to music or news, today car video and audio electronic equipment is considered as status symbols and tools which make driving more comfortable.
