Ultra HDTV technology is a new technology that offers aspects such as higher resolution than HDTV, higher frame rate, and higher color space. With the rapid digitization of the TV industry and fall in TV prices, consumers are demanding more innovative TVs that support high-quality content. Hence, the demand for ultra HDTVs is expected to steadily increase during the forecast period, with consumers replacing their HDTVs with ultra HDTVs. The price of ultra HDTVs is also expected to gradually fall, which would subsequently lead to its rapid adoption.
According to the report, the Global Consumer Electronics market has several drivers that are contributing to its growth. One such driver is the increasing launch of new product lines. Market vendors are launching new categories of consumer electronics products in addition to different product variants within the same category.
Further, the report states that the decrease in average selling prices is one major challenge hindering the market's growth.
