Consumer Desire For ‘Green’ Electronics On The Rise, Says CEA Study

More consumers expect their consumer electronics devices to be environmentally friendly, according to new data released by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). The study finds that 89% of households want their next television to be more energy efficient, for example. Although awareness of ‘green’ CE offerings lags behind sectors like household products and automobiles, 33% of consumers say they expect to make some type of green CE purchase within the next two years.

“Consumers are now beginning to associate terms like recycling and energy efficiency with consumer electronics products,” said Tim Herbert, CEA’s senior director of market research. “As they seek out those attributes in the purchasing process, there is enormous opportunity for manufacturers and retailers to educate customers about green products.”

Effectively communicating the green attributes of CE products continues to be an obstacle for manufacturers in particular. The study finds consumers desire an easy way to determine if a product meets environmental standards, such as logos and descriptions printed on the product packaging.


Gaming PC Market Bigger Than Thought, Says Jon Peddie Research

Jon Peddie Research has estimated worldwide PC gaming hardware shipments out to 2012: The Enthusiast segment has a worldwide CAGR of 9%; The Performance segment will have a CAGR of 19%; and The Mainstream segment CAGR is 21%.

The total market value for PC gaming hardware in 2008 was just over $20 billion, and that will grow to over $34 billion by 2012 - and those systems pull in an additional $6 billion in software and services sales. Also, the economic recession may stymie the assumed growth of the console gaming market and shift the balance in the direction of PC gaming because the cost of an HDTV for the console is a serious investment, particularly when a console is limited in what it can do.

Ted Pollak, co-author of the report, said, “Enthusiast PC gamers often latch onto one or two games that offer multiplayer options and stick to these titles for years. Hardware is where they spend the big bucks.”
