Samsung has seen strong growth in its consumer electronics business over the last three months with consumer sentiments riding high and is expecting the sale of its premium category of TVs and digital appliances to grow by over 65 percent this festive season, a top company executive said on Wednesday.

The overall consumer electronics business for Samsung is expected to see a growth of 30 percent this festive season as industries and businesses have opened up, rainfall has been adequate, and positive vaccination efforts.

“Consumer sentiment is at an all-time high for festive buying. We saw a strong uptick during Onam and Ganesh Chaturthi festivals already. Since the unlocking of markets, there has been an increased demand among consumers to equip their homes with the latest technology while they stay and work from home,” said Raju Pullan, Senior Vice President, CE Business, Samsung India.
