Telecommunications and other electrical goods wholesalers have faced mixed operating conditions over the past few years. While technological advances in telecommunications and electronics have elevated demand for some products, weak demand from the Construction division has dulled revenue. After the COVID-19 outbreak, poor economic conditions disrupted construction activity, and falling business confidence made firms less willing to invest in construction projects. Even though more advanced smartphones like the iPhone 14 series and the Samsung Galaxy S23 have elevated sales in some product segments, they’ve dampened demand for others – like photocopiers and photographic equipment. Revenue is expected to fall at an annualised 2.2% to an estimated $34.6 billion over the five years through 2023-24. This trend includes an anticipated drop of 2.2% in 2023-24, as demand from the construction and manufacturing sectors has taken a hit.
Industry revenue has declined at a CAGR of 2.2 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $34.6bn in 2024.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
