Market size
Global retail value sales of consumer electronics exceeded $888 billion in 2025. Euromonitor also estimated global volume at 2.95 billion units in the same year.[84]
Forecast & CAGR
Euromonitor forecasts consumer-electronics value sales to grow at a 3.3% CAGR from 2025 to 2030, while unit volume is expected to expand at a 2.7% CAGR. A separate market estimate places the broader market at $1.39 trillion in 2026 and projects a 5.9% CAGR through 2033.[84][86]
Market share & regions
Asia-Pacific held 38% of the global consumer-electronics market in 2024, according to an industry overview published by LG Electronics. A separate 2024 electronics-market estimate put Asia-Pacific at $1.325 trillion, or more than 60% of global sales, with North America at $376 billion and Europe at $363 billion.[85][79]
Segmentation
The market spans smartphones and other telecom devices, computing and office products, televisions and audio equipment, cameras, gaming products, wearables and household appliances. In the 2026 global tech-and-durables outlook, telecom represented 40.4% of consumer spending, IT and office products 21.8%, consumer electronics including photo 13.7%, major domestic appliances 14.0% and small domestic appliances 10.2%.[87]
Key players & concentration
Smartphones illustrate the industry’s concentration: Apple held 20% of global smartphone shipments in 2025 and Samsung held 19%, while Xiaomi held 13%. IDC’s preliminary 2026 data also reported that Apple and Samsung widened their lead during a period of market contraction caused partly by memory constraints.[88][89]
Pricing
Consumer spending is becoming more value-sensitive but increasingly concentrated in higher-priced products: NIQ reported 5% growth in global tech-and-durables sales value in 2025 against only 1% growth in volume. In the first quarter of 2026, value rose 9% year on year while volume fell 1.2%, indicating higher average selling prices and selective upgrading.[46]
Trends, drivers & challenges
Growth is being supported by AI-enabled devices, replacement cycles, connected products and emerging categories such as smart eyewear; global smart-eyewear shipments are forecast to rise from 9.6 million units in 2024 to 62.3 million in 2029, a 45.4% CAGR. Key challenges include memory shortages, tariffs, trade tensions, shorter product cycles and consumers delaying non-essential purchases.[90][46][89]
Consumer behavior & competition
Consumers are holding devices longer and upgrading when improvements are clearly justified, while premium smartphones continue to attract demand. In 2025, Apple and Samsung together accounted for about 39% of global smartphone shipments, with Apple at 20% and Samsung at 19%, intensifying competition around ecosystems, cameras, AI features and services.[84][88]
M&A
The European Commission conditionally approved JD.com’s acquisition of German consumer-electronics retailer CECONOMY on 3 November 2026 under the Foreign Subsidies Regulation. The transaction covers CECONOMY’s MediaMarkt, MediaWorld and Saturn retail businesses and was valued at approximately €2.2 billion.[60]
Regulation
EU ecodesign requirements for smartphones, feature phones, cordless phones and slate tablets have applied to products placed on the EU market since 20 June 2025. The rules address durability, repairability, battery performance, spare-parts availability, energy efficiency and software support.[91][92]
Latest news
The latest major sector transaction is the European Commission’s 3 November 2026 conditional approval of JD.com’s €2.2 billion acquisition of CECONOMY. Separately, IDC reported that global smartphone shipments fell 7.4% year on year to 276.3 million units in the second quarter of 2026 as the memory crisis raised costs and constrained supply.[60][89]
