Household Penetration off CE Products Soars
in 2005
---Ownership
improved in every category of survey---
Arlington, VA– May 17, 2005 – U.S. households
now own an average of 25 consumer electronics products, according
to the 2005 “CE Ownership and Market Potential” study
released today by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). Moreover,
each U.S. household typically spends more than $1,250 annually on
consumer electronics (CE) products. The study also reveals that households
are equally enthusiastic about their content, owning on average approximately
100 music CDs, more than 40 DVD movies and 16 video games...
In many categories, the transition is more than just a move
to digital, but rather a move away from products that use physical
media (i.e., CDs) and a move towards hard drive-based products
[emphasis added] (i.e., portable MP3 players). The portable MP3 player
category shattered all expectations last year by more than doubling
unit shipment volumes and nearly tripling revenues to $1.2 billion.
These devices now can be found in approximately 15 percent of homes...
