“The innovation on display this week at CES embodies the drive and passion that fuels our industry and furthers economic growth on a global scale,” said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO of the Consumer Technology Association, in a statement. “The entire tech ecosystem is here at CES 2020, and the products and technologies launching this week will inspire, connect and change lives for the better.”
According to the Consumer Technology Association, which sponsor the event, streaming services, 5G connectivity and AI-enabled devices will account for a record $422 billion in the U.S. consumer tech industry this year—a nearly 4% jump compared to last year. At the same time, a recent Accenture report dealing with Fintech trends, AI, cashless payments and digital currency notes those very forces would likely cause the most substantial industry disruptions heading up to the year 2024, according to information from Aithority.
