Report Highlights

2013 will remain a tough environment for electricals retailing. Due to less competition on the high street, Dixons will be the prime beneficiary; however, independent retailers will also have opportunities in locations where Comet and Jessops stores have closed and there is no Currys or PC World.

Deflation will ease in Q2 as reduced competition enables electricals retailers to rebuild some margins. However, falling prices of high spec tablets and laptops will ensure deflation remains high.

As penetration of tablet devices increases, growth rates will inevitably slow down, but the continual evolution of tablet, laptop and mobile phone technology at different price points will still drive growth in H1.
