Consumer Electronics (electronics for leisure): International consumer electronics companies have brought important industrial activities, such as production, development and research, to Austria. With sophisticated video recorders, colour-TV sets, radio recorders, and components for the consumer electronics industry are manufactured, this branch has an export share of over 93% (mainly to Western Europe). Digital compact cassettes and video recorders are produced in Austria. About 2 million video recorders and 1.2 million TV-sets were exported in 1993. About 60 million VHS cassettes and 17 million digital compact cassettes are produced each year. Apart from the production of terminal devices, Austria also has key-technology competence centres for consumer electronics (scanners, video heads and drives).
