About IBISWorld Industry Reports

Digital decline

While the continuing penetration of the internet and rising computer proficiency among households are boosting demand for industry products, operators will suffer. More consumers will turn to big box stores for deep discounts and online stores for convenience, causing revenue for computer stores to drop. Additionally, with prices generally higher in computer stores, consumers will take their overall income levels into account and reduce spending for products sold by industry operators.

In-depth industry market research presented in a logical and consistent format. Including 34 pages of insights covering industry conditions, key statistics, competitor analysis and market share, product and customer segmentation and a 5 year forecast.
