4 MOBILE PHONES IN THE NETHERLANDS - CATEGORY ANALYSIS HEADLINES 23% volume growth and 41% current value growth from 2009 to reach 3.5 million units and 780 million in 2010 Affordable contracts and widening range of apps drive growth for smartphones Smartphones most dynamic with 91% volume growth in 2010 Nokia s dominance soars by nine percentage points to reach 61% volume share in % volume CAGR and 4% constant value CAGR expected for forecast period TRENDS Mobile phones benefited from the strong ongoing success of smartphones in Dutch consumers are enthusiastic about intelligent phones that they can easily personalise in terms of applications and functionality. Dutch consumers were also attracted to smartphones by the leading mobile phone providers offering affordable monthly contracts including free smartphones. This encouraged the expansion of smartphones from a business environment into consumers lives. Mobile phones saw an impressive volume growth in 2010 over the previous year, with sales rising by 23%. This was entirely due to a strong 91% volume growth for smartphones, with these products reaching a dominant share of 52% in unit volume in 2010 and 84% value share due to their higher unit price. Smartphones first emerged in 2006, with strong growth thus also being linked to their novelty. The ongoing strong performance of smartphones in 2010 resulted in overall mobile phones seeing a stronger performance in the year in comparison to the review period as a whole. Heavy decline for feature phone sales resulted in overall annual volume decline for each year of the review period up to 2010, with an overall decline of 39%. Feature phones declined by 12% in volume terms in 2010 over the previous year. However, these products continued to have a large share of sales in 2010 at 48% in unit volume terms. Dutch consumers tend to own more than one mobile phone, with many opting for a feature phone as an affordable back-up. Service contracts for mobile phones in the Netherlands are mainly based on monthly subscription plans covering either a one- or two-year contract. This type of contract accounted for 71% of all mobile phone plans in the Netherlands at the end of the review period.

5 The increasing use of the internet via phone also encouraged consumers to switch to monthly subscriptions with a generous data allowance towards the end of the review period.

Online shopping using a smartphone proved particularly popular among consumers, with many using this channel to place smaller orders for everyday purchases. COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE Nokia is the dominant player in mobile phones and accounted for a strong 61% volume share in The company has a strong dominance in feature phones, where it accounted for 82% volume share, and also led sales of smartphones with 41% share in the year. The company has a particularly strong position in feature phones thanks to its strong focus on pay-as-yougo phones, with the company s range widely available via a number of different Dutch retail channels, including leading supermarkets/hypermarkets.

11 CONSUMER ELECTRONICS IN THE NETHERLANDS - INDUSTRY OVERVIEW EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Frugal Consumers Hinder Sales Growth Consumer electronics saw unit volume decline for the review period as a whole, with this reflecting Dutch consumers frugal attitudes. Other than for the replacement of broken products, consumers are often unwilling to buy consumer electronics unless they perceive these products to offer a genuine innovation. Sales were further impacted by consumers economic concerns towards the end of the review period, as a result of the economic downturn Sees Sales Recover However, while sales declined for the review period as a whole they saw a good growth in 2010 over the previous year. This was due to a number of reasons. The Dutch economy notably returned to real GDP growth in 2010, which alleviated consumers economic concerns to an extent. In addition, good growth was supported by a shift towards new-generation products, such as smartphones within mobile phones and internet enabled TVs. Sales growth in televisions and projectors was also boosted by the FIFA 2010 Football World Cup, with footballloving Dutch consumers upgrading products in order to ensure an optimum viewing experience during the contest. Leading Multinationals Further Gain Share Consumer electronics is led by a handful of strong multinationals, with Nokia, Sony and Apple being the leading players at the end of the review period. The leading players maintained or improved their share in 2010 over the previous year, with this reflecting a strong investment in innovation. Apple for example notably benefited from its launch of ipad in tablets and other portable computers in Internet Retailing Benefits From Bargain Hunters Internet retailing saw a strong growth in volume share in consumer electronics in 2010 over the previous year. This was partly due to consumers becoming increasingly confident in payment security when buying online. In addition, sales benefited from the economic downturn, with many consumers being attracted by the bargains to be found online. A widening range of internet retailing players also boosted sales, with electronics and appliance specialist retailers such as Media Markt entering internet retailing in Electronics and appliance specialist retailers increasingly regard internet retailing as a complement to their store-based retailing operations, rather than as a competing channel. Electronics and appliance specialist retailers however continued to dominate sales in 2010 and gained further share thanks to the judicious use of price promotions.

12 Slow Growth Ahead As Consumers Update Consumer Electronics Consumer electronics is expected to return to growth during the forecast period. This will be due to consumers updating their consumer electronics in response to recent innovations. There is expected to be an ongoing shift towards 3D and internet enabled TV, for example, and strong growth for BD players, HD camcorders and e-readers. Growth will also be supported by a slow return to economic growth. Growth rates will however continue to be hindered by consumers frugality, particularly in the wake of the economic downturn, and by maturity in many product areas.
