Consumer Technology 2017 Revenue from devices and gadgets
The part about the smartphones contributing 55.6 billion to technology is very interesting because we used them in almost everyday. I'm surprised I didn't see laptops buts that's okay.

I love the specificity of the estimate: not $300 billion or even $293 billion but the much more precise $292.5 billion.

Re: Consumer Technology 2017 Revenue from devices and gadgets
clrmoney - yes, it is interesting that laptops don't show up in this infographic. Globally sales are projected to drop slightly for PCs, both laptop and desktop, but they are still major revenue contributors for the sector. I would expect them to account for a substantial share of CE revenue in the US as well.

US Consumer Tech
I can understand Smart Homes, Virtual Reality and Fitness and Activity Trackers all going up. The part I don't understand is the Drones increasing by 40 percent. PCs, including laptops and desktops, could be phasing out because people are veering more toward smartphones and using them the way they would the PC.

Re: US Consumer Tech
I'm curious to know what forms of VR specifically?  Is it mostly gaming for instance?  Telepresence?  Does anyone know or want to venture a guess?

Re: US Consumer Tech
@vnewman  That's a good question. On a hunch, I would imagine it would include VR for TV or like you said, gaming. The chart doesn't actually specify.

Re: US Consumer Tech
I would think it's VR headsets. The CTA tracks device shipments, not applications. So it's going to have to be device revenue.

My household
My household purchased 3/4 of these devices last year. Anyone else contribute to the 292.5 Billion?

Re: My household
@afrwriter There were some smartphone purchases in my household, but really nothing else on that infographic. There were also a couple of laptop purchases and a new wireless router, but that doesn't seem to be represented there.
