Tech innovation is making the nation more resilient in the face of crises. The pandemic has bolstered the relationship consumers have with technology. From working to learning, staying connected with family, friends and colleagues, and taking care of our health, tech is playing a crucial role in improving lives. Even though the U.S. is confronted with supply chain shortages, labor gaps and spiraling inflation, tech will help us keep pushing forward.
As technology continues to transform industries and businesses, consumers’ lives are enriched with enhanced safety, efficiency and an expanding array of choices. And it is entrepreneurs with an innovative mindset that are driving this new surge of technology, products, services and apps.
Retail sales revenues for the tech industry are soaring to a record-breaking $487 billion in 2021 – a 7.5% jump year-over-year. This innovation is driven by extraordinary consumer demand for tech related to work, school and lifestyle, according to the twice-yearly U.S. Consumer Technology One-Year Industry Forecast produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)®.
To provide context on the transformation taking place, CTA produces Five Technology Trends to Watch each year.
