Industry Overview
The global consumer electronics sector, a cornerstone of the technology landscape encompassing smartphones, PCs, wearables, smart home devices, and electric vehicles, is poised for sustained growth. In 2025, this multi-trillion-dollar market continues to be led by giants like Apple, Samsung, Xiaomi, and Huawei. The defining trend is the deep integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which is fundamentally reshaping product innovation and user experience across all categories.

2025: A Year of AI-Powered Recovery and Growth
The industry has moved past recent headwinds, with key segments showing robust demand in 2025:

Smartphones: The market is expected to maintain its growth trajectory, driven by the rise of AI phones. Canalys forecasts AI phone penetration to reach 32% in 2025, a significant 15-percentage-point year-on-year increase. Continued innovation from Apple (iOS 18 AI updates) and Android OEMs will be key drivers.

PCs: Growth is expected, fueled largely by the end of support for Windows 10, prompting a replacement cycle. The broader adoption of AI PCs, offering dedicated AI compute capabilities for enhanced productivity and personalization, will be a major storyline, with vendors like Lenovo projecting rapid penetration in the coming years.

Wearables & Smart Home: The “Hundred Glasses War” ignited at CES 2025 highlights the focus on AI-powered smart glasses (from Meta, Xiaomi, etc.). In the smart home sector, innovation is being driven by AI-powered toys, companion robots, and other new form factors enabled by advanced real-time voice models.

Electric & Intelligent Vehicles: The transition to smart mobility accelerates. In China, a key market, new energy vehicle (NEV) penetration continues to climb sharply. The focus for 2025 is on the democratization of high-level intelligent driving features into mid- and entry-level models.
