Tencent Technology News "Financial Times" said that the rise of advanced technology may push the sales of smart phones in developed markets by 20% in the next decade, because artificial intelligence to steal the skilled workers' jobs has led to a reduction in the budget for consumers to buy the latest electronic products. .
The above view of the Financial Times comes from the latest annual forecast report released by market research company CCS Insight. The report is highly valued by the technology industry. According to the report, smartphone sales will fall by 20% by 2025 due to artificial intelligence eradicating disposable income.
Ben Wood, chief analyst of CCS, points out that many technical jobs are already threatened by artificial intelligence, and that professional positions such as banking, news, customer service, legal counsel, and the real estate industry will be replaced by artificial intelligence in the coming decades.
This trend is likely to affect the income and wealth of the middle class, because the depletion of job opportunities in technology jobs will directly lead to the decline in sales of high-priced consumer electronics products, which are also affected by services such as pay-TV and music streaming.
Wood said: "This puts enormous pressure on the entire environment of the scientific community." Wood believes that artificial intelligence has penetrated into every aspect of daily life, but people are not aware of it. He cited the case of customer service chat bots, which can be transformed between software and real people, while consumers are unconscious.
CCS expects smartphone sales in developed markets, including those in North America, Europe, Japan and Australia, to drop to 350 million units by 2025, compared with 440 million units in 2015 due to the development of artificial intelligence.
As sensors are gradually combined with clothing and footwear products, smart shoes will sell 1 million pairs by 2018, and will grow to 5 million pairs by 2020.
CCS also predicts that developed markets will cancel traditional live broadcast arrangements by 2025, as the distinction between live, on-demand and recorded broadcasts is increasingly blurred.
In the field of smartphone hardware, CCS expects the Indian brand to rise and rank among the top ten in the world by 2018. Indian smartphone maker Micromax or other Indian companies will make good use of the Indian government's opportunity to strengthen the construction of the local technology industry.
In addition, CCS believes that Nokia will return to the smart phone market and become a new force, gaining 5% global market share by 2019. Nokia has licensed its brand to a company called HMD Finland, which will use the Android operating system.
Wood believes that the Nokia brand still has quite good development potential, and it is expected that the re-launched mobile phone model will be doubled in sales of the Lumia brand mobile phone in 2014. 2014 was also the heyday of the Lumia brand produced by Microsoft and Nokia.
CCS is also quite authoritative in predicting industry consolidation. The report predicts that CK Hutchison, which has three mobile networks, will integrate its international cable business, Liberty Global, with products from the UK, Australia and Ireland in 2017 and 2018.
The CCS report also predicts that the application software is still the target of large-scale platform acquisitions, and that the music short video service Musical.ly with more than 70 million registered users will fall into the social networking site Facebook, while the UK traffic application Citymapper will be Apple. , acquired by Google (microblogging) or car navigation map service provider Here.
