In interaction with our Editor in Chief, Jayanta Ghosh, Mr. Pawan Kumar, CEO, Elista gives some insights about their upcoming launches and market overview on AV consumer products.
What according to you are the latest trends in the audio segment?
Today the market has shifted from the traditional home theatre and its standard features, which was small in sizes and people only looking for USB and Bluetooth connectivity as preferred features, but now they want more out of their home theatres, so more demand on battery backup, big sound and big size, wireless and also flexibility to move it around the house. So, demand for trolley speakers, party speakers with good battery life and jazzy lights are in a huge demand. We have also launched 2.1 & 4.1 tower speakers and will be expanding our audio products in the next couple of months.
Also tell us about your assessment on the TV market in India.
The normal TV market has shrunk dramatically and clocking around 5 to 7% in the market as the demand of Smart TV has increased even in the Tier 3 Tier 4 cities. Seeing this transition, we have also ramp up our smart tv segment also as per our assumption people will buy smart TVs by looking into its specification and features as the way they buy their smartphones now. We at Elista offering Smart TVs from 24 to 75 inch, and beyond 50 inch segment we are providing more storage and RAM for seamless experience for our consumers.
