Abstract
US Christmas holiday spending is set for a modest rebound but electronics will take a disproportionately large share, according to the latest data from the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). Total holiday-related spending is expected to reach $1,412 (£888) per person, 3 per cent ahead of the 2009 number ($1,365) although still a good way below the pre-recession spend of $1,671 in 2007, say CEA analysts Steve Koenig and Shawn DuBravac. Within the overall figure, gifts account for $750.
