This PPT slide, part of the 103-slide Electronics Firm Retail Channel Strategy PowerPoint presentation, presents an analysis of the online purchasing dynamics for consumer electronics (CE) products, highlighting the limited impact of online sales relative to overall market performance. It notes that in 2000, total CE sales reached $84.5 billion, with the top 10 retailers capturing $57 billion, which constitutes 66% of the market. This indicates a significant concentration of sales among a small number of retailers.
The data reveals that online purchases accounted for only $7 billion, or 8.3% of total sales, with less than 3% attributed to the internet segment specifically. This suggests that while online shopping is growing, it remains a minor player in the overall retail strategy for CE products. The slide emphasizes consumer behavior, noting that 80% of online shoppers seek information about products online before making purchases, indicating a trend toward research-driven buying.
The projected growth in online spending is also mentioned, with estimates of $2 billion in 2001 and a forecasted increase to $5.5 billion by 2004. Two key online retailers are highlighted: Buy and Amazon, showcasing their respective sales figures and inventory. This data points to the competitive nature of the online market, yet underscores that traditional retail channels still dominate.
Overall, the slide serves as a reminder for executives to focus on the substantial market share held by top retailers while acknowledging the growing, yet still limited, role of online sales in the CE sector. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for formulating effective retail strategies moving forward.
