Hong Kong has been a key global exporter in many consumer electronics products including calculators, radios, telephone sets, A/V products, computer parts/accessories as well as related components such as PCBs and LCDs. For many years the electronics industry has been the largest export earner of Hong Kong. Traditionally, the US and Europe are the major markets of Hong Kong's electronics products. In recent years, the Mainland has become Hong Kong's largest export market and its importance is likely to grow in view of the expanding consumer market there.
Technological advancement and rising consumer expectations, combined with the convergence of computer, communication and consumer electronics, have brought about many new opportunities for product innovation. Digitalization, miniaturization and mobility (via wireless and interoperability) are the key elements for modern consumer products. User interface and product safety are the two other basic and crucial elements.
