The consumer technology industry thrives on change. Tech advances are

transforming businesses and the global economy at an accelerating pace

increasing access to entertainment, education and information for people

worldwide.

CES® is the world’s market for selling and buying change. Each January

top executives come to cut deals, make connections and see the future.

The Consumer Technology Association (CTA)TM owns and produces CES –

the world’s gathering place for all who thrive on the business of consumer

technologies. And this year we celebrated 50 years of innovation since

CES was founded in 1967.

Energy, passion and a zest for learning about the latest technologies marked

CES 2017 – the largest in show history spanning more than 2.6 million NSF

with 4,000 exhibitors and 180,000 executives from business, government,

entertainment and the automotive industries. A record 600 startups pitched

their business ideas to investors and media in Eureka Park.

JOIN USCTA represents the $292 billion consumer technology industry that supports

more than 15 million U.S. jobs. Our 2,200 member companies – 80 percent are

small businesses and startups; others are among the world’s best known brands

– create these products, services, apps and technologies that solve problems

and make the world better.

CTA’s mission is to grow the industry. We achieve this by providing unique

market research, developing industry standards, working with legislators,

promoting consumer campaigns and hosting CES, CES Asia and other

events to connect attendees with new relationships, revenue and ideas. The

CTA Foundation improves the lives of seniors and people with disabilities

through technology.

Our members cover the technology spectrum. Some business models

are disrupting the status quo in areas like health monitoring, robotics,

implantables, virtual reality, machine learning, self-driving vehicles,

drone deliveries, 3D-printing, and facial and voice-based security.

Innovation is linking unconnected ideas, industries, products and services.

For example, look at how the app-driven sharing economy is altering our

lives. PricewaterhouseCoopers says that by 2025, shared services will

generate $335 billion in worldwide revenues up from $15 billion in 2013.

Artiicial intelligence (AI) is fueling innovation from teaching self-driving cars

to maneuver eiciently to giving robots the ability to understand voice-based

requests. Voice-activated technologies from Amazon Echo to Google Home are

becoming a common operating system for connected objects. And the Internet

of Things will soon provide the data and analysis to make us healthier, safer

and more energy eicient, enhancing our lives in unlimited ways.

But as automation and AI redesign the workplace and disrupt legacy

industries, our country must address challenges such as skill mismatches

and job displacement while continuing to promote innovation. Recognizing

this, CTA’s New American Jobs Summit will help look into the future and

address solutions to these trends. The summit will explore how government

and the private sector can invest in a competitive workforce, create new

high-wage jobs and foster economic growth in the face of rapid technological

innovation, an aging population and increased global competition.

MOVING FORWARDIn Washington, DC, we will continue to focus on issues ranging from privacy

to heath care, encryption to spectrum. The election of President Trump along

with a Republican Congress should be a plus for the economy and business.

Business leaders from tech and other groups meeting with the president have

stressed the need to compete globally. Being in the tech industry means we

respect and adjust to disruption. We will be lexible and continue to support

our members, promote growth and encourage innovation in this changing

economic environment.

Join with us to build a world where technology enriches lives. Only imagination

limits what we can achieve in the future.

THE PROMISE OF TECHNOLOGY20 Consumer Technology Association

Advancing Connectivity

From smartphones, to the smart home, health and wellness devices, and the Internet of Things, connectivity is at the heart of the myriad devices improving our lives.

T H E P R O M I S E O F T E C H N O LO GY20 Consumer Technology Association

2 0 1 7 C TA CO R P O R AT E R E P O RT 21CTA.tech

CONNECTIVITY AT CES 2017

CES 2017 had a big message: everything

in our industry will be connected. Of the

many announcements across the show,

connectivity could be found in everything

from automotive to artiicial intelligence,

healthcare, smart home hubs, and even the

travel and tourism industry.

Nissan referred to connectivity in the

automobile as “intelligent mobility”, while

Volkswagen and Chrysler debuted a connected

community portal for the vehicle, and a

connected minivan, respectively. During

his keynote, Carnival President and CEO

Arnold W. Donald announced OCEAN –

the One Cruise Experience Access Network,

which consists of an IoT network for the

cruise line, a digital “experience” portal

and even a new connected wearable for

passengers.

Meanwhile, all across the show loor,

connected devices opened themselves

up to smart home hubs such as Amazon’s

Echo and Google Home. CES 2017 featured

80,000 net square feet of smart home

technology. As the U.S. moves towards

5G wireless networks, the race to connect

every device and facet of our lives shows

no signs of abating.

POLICY

To foster the growth of 5G networks and the

Internet of Things, CTA strongly supports

government eforts to free up spectrum for

licensed and unlicensed use. In particular,

CTA advocated for TV broadcast spectrum

to be repurposed through voluntary incentive

auctions. Completed in 2017, they promote

innovation and job creation, reduce the

national debt and amply compensate television

broadcasters that chose to participate. Most

important, incentive auctions helped alleviate

the spectrum crunch so Americans can

enjoy robust wireless broadband capability that

will power the innovation-driven economy.

MARKET RESEARCH

CTA’s comprehensive market research

includes industry sales statistics, forecasts,

economic analysis and consumer research,

including research focused on connectivity.

In early 2017, CTA focused on the role of

connectivity in evolving urban areas, with

The Evolution of Smart Cities and Connected

Communities study. This study reviewed

what U.S. cities are doing and planning to

do to be “smart” or “connected”, as well as the

emerging implications of using “sensorization”

and IoT technologies in communities, cities

and transportation systems.

Other CTA studies examine consumer

behavior with mobile devices. CTA’s Path

to Purchase Using Mobile Devices explores

how mobile devices are used at every stage

of technology product shopping, starting

from product search through inal purchase.

This study seeks to help the industry

understand consumer attitudes towards

shopping online and shopping using

mobile devices to access multichannel

retail stores and online-only retail stores.

THE PROMISE OF TECHNOLOGY22 Consumer Technology Association

Encouraging Transportation Advances

Self-driving vehicles and drones can transform transportation in life-changing ways. CTA is leading the way in revolutionizing how we think about transportation, travel, delivery and recreation. Self-driving cars promise beneits from parking assist to collision avoidance to increased safety with fewer accidents. With consistent advancements in driverless technology, the era of self-driving vehicles is fast approaching.

T H E P R O M I S E O F T E C H N O LO GY22 Consumer Technology Association

2 0 1 7 C TA CO R P O R AT E R E P O RT 23CTA.tech

Drones are also one of the industry’s most exciting

technologies and will be used in new ways to alter how

goods ranging from products, medical supplies and even

food, are transported in the future. Drones are already

being used in disaster relief to reach victims with life-

saving supplies. The technology and policy landscapes of

self-driving vehicles and drones are evolving fast and so

are consumer sentiments about their intentions to adopt.

POLICY

Self-driving cars can reduce more than 90 percent of

accidents caused by human error and help eliminate

hours wasted in traic by reducing congestion. The race

to put these cars on the road is fueled by the desire to

help many people, including those with disabilities and the

elderly. However, automakers are facing regulations that

limit the adoption of this new technology. CTA ights on

Capitol Hill to establish standards for highway signs and

lights, devise new approaches to regulating spectrum,

liability, insurance and safety, and consider revised highway

rules, parking structures and car-ownership paradigms.

As a member of the Federal Aviation Administration’s

UAS Registration Task Force and Micro UAS Aviation

Rulemaking Committee, CTA has worked to develop

drone registration guidelines and has made recommen-

dations for drone lights over people. CTA works with

elected oicials and government regulators to ensure that

drone technology is safely integrated into our national

airspace. As part of this initiative, we support the “Know

Before You Fly” consumer safety campaign, encouraging

responsible use of drones.

SELF-DRIVING TECH AT CES 2017

The Self-Driving Technology Marketplace at CES 2017

explored the road to driverless mobility. Keynotes from

NVIDIA and Nissan gave the world an insight into the

future of self-driving vehicles. NVIDIA Founder and CEO

Jen-Hsun Huang announced an AI car supercomputer

called Xavier used in NVIDIA’s own self-driving car, BB8,

and a new capability on the NVIDIA AI car computer

called AI Co-Pilot. Then Nissan announced the

semi-autonomous ProPilot system, as well as the company’s

plans to launch their Seamless Autonomous Mobility

(SAM) system. CES 2017 also featured two conference

tracks focused on the emerging ield of self-driving

technology, the Connect2Car and Vehicle Technology

conference tracks.

MARKET RESEARCH

CTA’s Automotive Technology Roadmap: The Road to

Autonomy whitepaper analyzes OEM Vehicle Technology

for active safety and autonomy. Also, CTA released its

Self- Driving Vehicles: Consumer Sentiments report that

looks to understand consumer sentiments about everyday

commuting woes; awareness and use of self-driving

features; and attitudes toward completely self-driving

vehicles and the potential beneits.

CTA DIVISIONS AND COUNCILSThe Vehicle Technology Division focuses on raising awareness

among consumers of the range of possibilities for both using

and integrating consumer technologies in vehicles.

The Self-Driving Vehicles Working Group works to drive the

adoption of self-driving vehicles and driver-assist technologies

across American roadways expediently and safely.

The Drone Policy Working Group formulates and advances

CTA positions and initiatives related to drones, and actively

supports and engages in the association’s advocacy eforts

before policymakers at the national, state, local and

international levels.

The Disruptive Innovation Council strives to support the

growth of innovative companies developing technologies

and services, like drones, that are disrupting traditional

business models and creating new markets.

THE PROMISE OF TECHNOLOGY24 Consumer Technology Association

SPORTS TECH AT CES 2017

CES 2017 showed attendees a new side of sports tech and

introduced new components to keep up with the rapidly-

growing industry. Under Armour Founder and CEO Kevin

Plank took the keynote stage to announce new techno-

logical advancements in its shoes, apparel and wearables.

In addition, the Sports Business Innovation conference

track, presented by Turner Sports, ran a series of jam-

packed sessions that featured big names from profession-

al sports leagues and partners. The track took a deep-dive

into the future of sports tech, including the fan experience,

arena technology, virtual and augmented reality, and data

analytics. Also, the Sports Tech Marketplace housed 30

exhibitors and delved into the innovations for athletes,

from sport-speciic smart products to state-of-the-art

fandom connectivity.

MARKET RESEARCH

CTA’s market research provides insights into the latest

trends in sports, health and itness tech. The Consumers

Journey to Purchase: Health and Fitness study looks at

the opportunity in retail among key consumer groups by

examining how consumers shop for health and itness

products, what drives them to purchase in one channel

over another, and the role salespeople, family, friends,

coworkers, reviews and packaging play in their purchase

decision.

Integrated technology for sports is being used in public

schools to monitor performance and increase safety.

Whether it is installing sensors in football players’ helmets

for concussion safety or monitoring heart rates to make

sure an athlete is not being pushed too far, integrated

technology is a serious topic of discussion for administrators.

HEALTH AND FITNESS TECHNOLOGY DIVISION

The Health and Fitness Technology Division strives to

raise awareness of how consumer technologies can help

improve health and itness by:

n Providing CTA members with educational and

networking opportunities in the health and itness

technology space.

n Ensuring that health and itness technology devices,

services and apps can thrive in a sound regulatory

environment that balances innovation with safety

and privacy.

n Supporting standards initiatives to create performance

benchmarks or other standards to advance consumer

acceptance of the wearables industry.

STANDARDSThe Health & Fitness Technology Subcommittee develops

standards addressing consumer health and itness technology,
