Short for consumer technology, consumer tech refers to any technology that a consumer purchases to meet a specific need. The goal of consumer tech is to make the general public’s day-to-day living easier, by using technological enhancements to simplify daily activities. For example, smartphones, tablets, gaming computers, consoles and even smart homes are part of the industry. The electronics are typically intended for everyday use in private homes. This can be to participate in entertainment, leisure, communication or work-from-home activities. Examples of companies that operate within the consumer tech industry are Apple, Whirlpool and Tesla. They all innovate for our benefit.
