2011 predictions: Kondor managing director Rob Haycock

Rob Haycock, managing director of accessories distributor Kondor, says accessories supply will grow as punters look to protect and augment their smartphones

“This year will continue growth in music accessories with a fantastic range of headphones complemented by the consumer desire to dock, charge and connect music devices.

“The market itself will change with grocers focused on our sector, the strength of e-tailers and the wider scope of specialists – taking in tablets, laptop, cameras and sophisticated converged devices.

“Consumers want to personalise and protect their devices and we expect increasing variety of fashion offerings and interest in the channel from more mainstream brands.”
