The Data Digest: Europeans’ Device Adoption Shows Strong Growth For HDTV
[Posted by Reineke Reitsma]
Laptops and flat-panel TVs have seen the strongest growth over the past two years in absolute terms. Data from our Technographics European surveys shows that laptop penetration increased from 26% of households in 2007 to 38% in 2009, while flat-panel TVs more than doubled from 16% to 34%. Flat-panel TVs also rate highest on consumers' wish list. Seven percent of Europeans intend to buy a flat-panel TV in the next six months — mostly as a first-time purchase — making it the fastest-growing household device among Europeans.
