The New Consumer Electronics Industry

Before, giants in the consumer electronics industry were reaping in most of the huge numbers while retailers were going home suffering from low sales. However, it seems like the tables have already been turned. This time around, retailers are seemingly taking home huge sales while the giants seemed to be suffering from low turnouts. It seems like the whole consumer electronics industry would be experiencing a shakeout soon enough. Experts in the field have been saying that perhaps this phenomenon would all be because the giant manufacturers of consumer electronics became too lax in their strategies in the market. All the while, the retailers expanded their ranges and headed out towards creating quite a number of chains. Experts also found out that the Internet that has once helped out the consumer electronics giants like Sony, Philips, and Samsung is now a strong ally for retailers.Fundamentally, the changes in the consumer electronics industry are not being driven by product evolution, but by fluctuations in the industry's business models. Companies that are capable of change and those that develop branding will be most successful.
