SBS Consumer Electronics
Management Consulting Services
With a US market valued at $96 Billion this
past year, the Consumer Electronics industry is poised to
accelerate its ongoing “Digital Convergence”,
rapidly evolving new multi-application products, services,
distribution platforms and consumer standards. Tie this to
an overabundance of manufacturers/providers vying for the
same “brick and mortar”
and web enabled “e-shelfspace”
and the results will create a momentous challenge for both
small and large consumer technology innovator.
For the foreseeable future, we see the principal
industry hardware, software, and entertainment providers continuing
to engage in a bitter battle, promoting exclusive market agendas,
struggling to maintain their diminishing “technology
turf-space”. In our view, a variety of distinctive and
ground-breaking technologies will be driving the consumer
electronics marketplace including: Mobile Devices
and Wireless Technology {MP3, GPS, 3G, PDA, Handheld
PC’s, GPRS, GSM, CDMA, EDGE. BLUETOOTH, 802.11a-b-g,
Telematics, Satellite Radio}, along with Digital Imaging
and Display Products {PVR, DTV, Digital Cameras,
Printers, Flash Memory, Monitors-Flat Screen, Plasma, HDTV},
Broadband Connectivity {xDSL, Cable Modem,
FTTH, Fast Ethernet}, as well as Electronic and Web-Enabled
Gaming {Xbox, PlayStation, GameCube, SimsCity}.
From a consumer electronics developer/provider
standpoint, only a select few such as Sony or Microsoft have
historically had the combination of financial resources, brand
recognition, and market prescience required to fundamentally
sway consumer-buying trends over an extended period of time.
The success of any venture in this “web-enabled”
global market lies in the creation and time sensitive implementation
of unique, niche oriented sales, marketing, and distribution
channel programs. Competing in these venues requires both
an innate and intuitive understanding of consumer wants, needs,
and buying trends. Lay this all across an expanding plethora
of fragmented demographics and markets, and you can understand
why the need for outsourcing qualified, cost effective, mission
critical sales and marketing programs continues to grow.
