I rapidi mutamenti nei bisogni dei consumatori di beni di consumo e di elettronica sono uno stimolo all'innovazione per SABIC

I rapidi mutamenti nei bisogni dei consumatori di beni di consumo e di elettronica sono uno stimolo all'innovazione per SABIC.Sittard, Paesi Bassi, 25 ottobre 2016 - La crescita della popolazione globale, insieme alla rapida espansione della classe media sono alla base dell'espansione dei beni di consumo e dei dispositivi mobili personali. Si prevede che la classe media rappresenterà 4,9 milioni di persone tra la popolazione mondiale entro il 20301. Entro appena i prossimi quattro anni si stima che la spesa globale della classe media salirà a circa $20 trilioni l'anno2.
L'elettronica e la connettività on line sono già oggi profondamente intrecciate con le nostre vite quotidiane e questa tendenza non farà che accelerare, sulla base delle previsioni dei ricercatori, saranno connessi a internet qualcosa come 21 miliardi di dispositivi entro il 2020, un valore più che triplo rispetto a quest'anno3.
