Research and analysis highlights
Electricals is set to charge ahead as the fastest growing major retail sector in 2006 for its first time since 1995. Boosted by a raft of new technologies and a number of key products reaching mass market price points, electricals will take over home sectors which have been the prime engine of retail growth during the past decade.

Electricals' rapid growth is attracting the attention of non-specialists including Tesco, Asda, M&S and Next. This means differentiation has never been so important for specialists. It is no longer viable for specialists to compete on price alone competitive pricing has become an imperative.

The dynamics of online electricals retailing are changing while pureplays were setting the agenda a few years ago, traditional retailers are now leading the way. Over the past few years, as established physical retailers have ramped up their marketing, and have lowered prices, the pace of growth of pureplay operators has slowed significantly.
