Average Price for Tech Products Leveling-Off: Latest Results From NPD CE Price Watch Released

PORT WASHINGTON, NEW YORK, August 17, 2004 Tech product prices experienced a leveling off after five months of price declines according to the latest NPD Consumer Electronics Price Watch, a monthly pricing monitor from The NPD Group that provides a top-line look into the average selling price of technology products being sold in the U.S.
During the month of June 2004, retail prices for the CE Price Watch market basket of goods fell by less than 1 percent from May and 15.6 percent from June of 2003. Both of these declines were the lowest recorded since the start of CE Price Watch in January 2003. The overall cost of the basket of goods followed by CE Price Watch stood at $12,399 in June.

Holiday In Wales The small selling price decline is a combination of both small price declines from last month and a number of price increases, said Stephen Baker, The NPD Groups director of industry analysis. Of the 27 categories tracked, eleven had increases from May pricing levels. The equivalent data in May showed that only 7 products showed month-to-month increases. On a percentage basis only three product groups delivered more than a 5 percent price decline.

This decline is the result of the introduction of enhanced or SuperG products by all major networking OEMs. Blank DVD media fell by 8 percent to under $18 for a ten-pack of write once media. Prices have been fluctuating in this market, although the trend is unmistakably down since an equivalent 10-pk cost $23.41 last year.

This product has now fallen by nearly one-third over the past eighteen months and 13 percent since January 2004. Large absolute dollar declines were also seen in the 20-inch LCD TV category and the 17-inch LCD monitor category. Prices for those two products fell $31 and $11, respectively.

Value, selection and service. $24.95 a month for our standard plan allows our customers to rent as many movies as they want. The average person rents 8.9 of them a month from us, for that price. The average rental cost is less than three dollars. It’s a terrific value proposition with no late fees. For most people, the late fee issue is not just the additional two, three or seven dollars, but the pressure to watch the movie or let it sit there on the coffee table at night burning up money. With our model, you’re renting four movies at a time ( depending on what plan you’re on), and they sit there on your coffee table until you feel like watching them, and it costs you the same price.
