Global Industry Forecasts > Quarterly Industry Forecasts > Electronics And Computers

Production of electronics and computers improved in Q3, and we expect global growth of 5% in 2014 as a whole. Going into 2015, underlying demand for high-tech goods generally remains solid, driven by business investment in the US and stronger global trade. But the outlook for Chinese investment has been revised down. Although China is a much smaller end-use market for electronics than the US, this has resulted in a downward revision of about 1-1½% points until the end of the decade.
