Additional Information

Rapid economic growth following the introduction of open-door policies by former leader Deng Xiaoping in 1979 has helped to create a massive consumer market in China. This growth has raised average worker incomes, raising living standards and strengthening consumer purchasing power. Demand for electronics and information technology amongst newly wealthy urban consumers has been especially strong. Today, every household owns a colour television set - and a sizeable proportion owns at least two. Household ownership of video and audio equipment is also universal, as while ownership levels of personal computers and mobiles phones have increased sharply.

In this increasingly mature environment, Chinese numerous manufacturers of consumer electronics and IT products are locked in fierce competition for market share and forced to take ever-tighter margins on product sales. With ownership levels in many categories at saturation point, manufacturers are now focusing on re-sales and product upgrades rather than first-time purchases.
