The Japanese government has spent 20 trillion yen to implement measures to encourage sales of energy efficient appliances.

Some of the trends in the market are

  • The disappearance of old technologies: analogue products such as VHS, analog cassette decks and camcorders left the market. The change from analogue to digital has changed the nature of the consumer electronics market. Televisions were replaced by mobile phones as the top product.
  • Falling retail prices entice consumers: emerging product sub sectors like Digital TV and projectors experienced rising retail sales as their falling prices attracted consumers to buy them. Increased competition, cheaper technology costs and lower duties brought many advantages to the buyers of consumer electronics.
