Market Report, "Computers and Peripherals in the United Arab Emirates", Published

Boston, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 01/30/2015 -- Retail volume growth in computers and peripherals slowed to 11% in 2014, along with the stabilisation of demand for tablets. Technology-savvy consumers in the United Arab Emirates continued to be attracted by the latest computers, laptops and tablets, as surfing the internet is a favourite pastime of most residents, as outdoor activities are limited by the extremely hot weather conditions. With an internet usage penetration rate of over 90%, consumers in the United Arab Emirates are online for much of their working day, as well as at home at the weekends. Most time is spent on social networking sites such as Facebook, but increasingly youngsters are also interested in photo-based networking sites such as Instagram and Flickr.
