About the Consumer Electronics Industry

The consumer electronics industry manufactures and distributes everything from telephones, stereo components, televisions, alarm clocks, and calculators to digital cameras, video cameras, VCRs, and DVD and MP3 players-basically, everything you see when you go into a store. Needless to say, consumer electronics is big business. In 2005, in the U.S. alone, consumers spent more than $75 billion on consumer electronics products, 8 percent more than in 2004. The industry employs a host of engineers, designers, marketers, salespeople, customer service reps, and finance gurus to continually improve familiar products as well as come up with the next big must-have gadget. Although much of the actual manufacturing of consumer electronics products is done in Asia and other low labor-cost locations, there are many career opportunities in this industry. On the technical side, opportunities exist for software and electronics engineers, quality assurance engineers, industrial designers, manufacturing design engineers, and IT professionals.
