08:30 Consumer Electronics Industry Update

Steve Koenig, Director of Industry Analysis, Consumer Electronics Association

What are the latest hot products in consumer electronics and what are the expectations for the upcoming holiday season? One of the most anticipated sessions of Consumer Returns is the annual update from CEA Director of Industry Analysis Steve Koenig. Steve will address some of the hottest product categories - from automotive installed electronics, portable/home audio (headphones, Bluetooth speakers and soundbars) and video game consoles to streaming media players and wearable technology - and trends that are impacting your business. This presentation will also convey how these trends are impacting reverse logistics operations. The short lifecycle of many goods - i.e. tablets and smartphones - has necessitated a rapid reverse logistics process and utilization of secondary markets to capture value with returned inventory. Companies are also recognizing the increasing importance of assistance during device setup and emphasizing ease of use to avert returns.
