(MENAFNEditorial)
There is some downside risk to our consumer electronics spending outlook in 2015 due to a n ongoing tightening of domestic credit conditions in the second half of 2014 due to a build of bad debts by Vietnamese banks. However we maintain that Vietnam's consumer electronics market has a bright outlook as rising incomes and falling average device prices in key device categories over the medium term catalyse strong growth in spending. W e maintain a positive outlook for the duration of our five - year forecast period with CAGR of 4.8 % . The country's vast underpenetrated rural market offers the greatest growth potential while Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City accounted for the majority of sale. Across the country g rowth areas include smartphones particularly low-cost devices from Chinese and local brands and LED TV sets as Vietnam transitions from analogue to digital broadcasting . Vietnam is also rapidly becoming a key destination in global consumer electronics supply chains with large investments announced by Samsung Electronics Nokia and LG Electronics in 2013 and 2014 .

Headline Expenditure Projections
* Computer Hardware Sales: USD1.41bn in 2014 to USD1.48bn in 2015 +5.5% in US dollar terms. The low penetration of PCs means vendors can still tap the first-time buyer market with low-cost tablets from Chinese OEMs proving especially popular with consumers but tightening credit conditions pose downside risk.
* AV Sales : USD1.1bn in 2014 to USD1.1bn in 2015 +2.7% in US dollar terms. In 2015 and over the medium term it will be digitisation of TV services that drives growth by triggering upgrades.
* Handset Sales : USD2.5bn in 2014 to USD2.6bn in 2015 +5.3% in US dollar terms. We expect another strong year of growth for smartphone sales in Vietnam in 2015 which will drive up the average selling price in the handset market.
