As the consumer electronics market evolves, engendering new technologies and features, it is easy to get enamored by what is new. Ultimately, however, these changes do not negate the basic elements of demand such as price and content availability. This has certainly been the case for 3D TV, where respondents to surveys continue to show little interest in 3D. In North America and Western Europe, some device categories like HDTV are quickly reaching a state of maturity - soon shipment growth will slow if not decline. Internet connectivity and 3D are seen as market stimulants but the latter at least has had had little traction thus far. A shift of focus towards developing markets will continue as companies seek new growth opportunities. This report discusses the survey results from seven countries (US, France, Germany, UK, China, India, South Korea) and explores the key factors impacting purchase decisions, current penetration of brands, and near term purchases in the CE market (emphasizing HDTVs and source players: Blu-ray players, game consoles, and Internet set-top boxes).
