Market Trends of europe engineering plastics Industry
Technological innovations to boost the consumer electronics market
- Europe's electrical and electronics production registered a CAGR of over 3.8% between 2017 and 2021. The rapid pace of electronic technological innovation is driving consistent demand for newer and faster electrical and electronic products. As a result, it has also increased the demand for electrical and electronics production in the region.
- Despite the increased demand for computers and laptops due to remote working and distance learning, the average revenue per user in the European consumer electronics segment dropped by 6.3%. It generated a revenue of around USD 252.1 billion in 2020. As a result, in 2020, the electrical and electronic production in the region decreased by 2.8% by revenue compared to the previous year.
- In 2021, Europe's electrical and electronic equipment exports were around USD 228.37 billion, 12.4% higher compared to 2020. As a result, electrical and electronic production in the region increased and registered 11.6% in 2021 compared to the previous year.
- Robotics, virtual reality and augmented reality, IoT (Internet of Things), and 5G connectivity are expected to grow during the forecast period. As a result of technological advancements, demand for consumer electronics is expected to rise during the forecast period. The consumer electronics segment in the region is projected to reach a revenue of around USD 157.2 billion in 2027 from USD 121.1 billion in 2023. By 2027, Europe is projected to be the second-largest electrical and electronics production accounting for around 12.7% of the global market. As a result, the rise in consumer electronics is projected to increase the demand for electrical and electronics production in the coming years.
