New Consumer Goods market report from Business Monitor International: "Kuwait Consumer Electronics Report Q2 2014"

Boston, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 04/09/2014 --Strong private consumption levels, plus access to the latest technologies offer promise in the Kuwaiti market. Kuwait also has a relatively high GDP per capita, mainly fuelled by its hydrocarbon resources. However, its small population means it has smaller sales than other countries in the region.

Headline Expenditure Projections

- Computer Hardware Sales: US$401mn in 2013 to US$421mn in 2014, up 5% in US dollar terms. Form factors such as tablets and ultrabooks will be key growth areas.
- AV Sales: US$484mn in 2013 to US$519mn in 2014, up 7.2% in US dollar terms. Rising incomes, the growing affordability of AV devices and product innovation will drive continued growth.
- Handset Sales: US$218mn in 2013 to US$241mn in 2014, up 10.5% in US dollar terms. Mobile number portability (MNP) and the rapid roll-out of 4G services will drive strong growth in the smartphone market.
