Abstract
Consumer electronic (CE) products continue to top holiday wish lists, which is
good news for CE manufacturers and suppliers alike. For the second year in a
row, In-Stat fielded a survey to its proprietary Technology Adoption Panel
(TAP) to determine the different CE product segments consumers are considering
for purchase this holiday season. For the 2006 holiday season, digital cameras
topped the list, followed closely by High Definition TVs (HDTVs), Personal
Computers (PCs), portable MP3 players, and portable GPS devices. This year,
HDTVs top respondents' wish list, followed by PCs, digital cameras, and
portable media players (PMPs).
This primary research-based report outlines the major CE products consumers
are considering for purchase this holiday season. It ranks the most popular CE
products and further explores why respondents are planning to purchase CE
products. Companies manufacturing CE products, such as digital cameras,
audio-only MP3 players, PMPs, HDTVs, and PCs should benefit from the
information in this report.
