T


he IER Team have seen and


experienced a vibrant and positive upsurge within our industry as the loyal and


enthusiastic teams of personnel present new and exciting innovations from their relevant companies. In-house product launches, trade events, including IFA Berlin, the Sirius Trade Show, the exposure of smart home solutions at the Ei Live Show, the clear message for the future is eco sustainability with innovation and Ai at the forefront of new future products. Talking of which, in the arena of AV, there is a defi nite, increased focus on the HD audio element available from the digital TV signals we receive into our homes of which presents major opportunities of extra sales to the consumer


with quality speaker systems, whether it be a soundbar or full surround system. Sony, TCL and other major brands are just a few propelling this consumer benefi t, of which in turn, leads to extra retail sales. Take a look at the AWE feature, shining a spotlight on potential growth and profi tability.


When it comes to MDA and SDA, there are a multitude of opportunities. ‘Induction for Reduction’ is the way forward to reduce energy costs. Whilst other companies concentrating in other parts of the home are ‘sweeping the fl oor’ with both robotic and manual products. This mammoth Autumn issue is fi lled with a


wealth of information both editorial, advertorial and advertising content. PLUS, let’s not forget this year’s IER Awards
