Current and Trend
-
It seems that the in-store demand for consumer electronic and computing products including service and content has been rebounding in the past two years.

It seems that the online demand for consumer electronic and computing products including service and content has been continuingly strong and growing fast in the past three years.
Causes behind the trend
-
Generally, we think that the declining in-store sales of some major retailers, which have been diluted by other alternative retail channels as a result of changes in shopping habit of consumers, has been offset by strong recovery of macro-economy and fast increasing confidence in consumers.
Industry Future
-
While strong increase in consumption stimulated by recovery of economy helps offset the slowing traffic of major in-store retailers, companies may find that demand will continue to be driven by their online platform and they will be facing increasing competition from other online sellers due to lower barriers to entry.
