Consumer technology, often known as consumer tech, refers to any type of technology designed for use by the general public, as opposed to technology designed for enterprises or government organizations. Consumer technology comes in a number of shapes and provides a wide range of technological capabilities, including most of them regularly observed objects that people might use on a daily basis. It is an umbrella term for any type of technology created with the general public's use in mind. The digital economy is fueling a new generation of digital-native, mobile-first consumer tech businesses that are powered by a frictionless payments environment. Some examples of consumer tech include consumer electronics, home appliances, electric vehicles, health and fitness products, personal care products, food and beverage, clothing, shoes, bags etc. Many of the products are IoT enabled and connected. They come with a combination of products and software for analytics, and for improving performance, fitness, and lifestyle.
