Accessory demand is closely tied to the phone market: to how many devices are sold, when flagship models launch, and which standards they adopt. With smartphone sales accelerating, the opportunity for accessory brands is expanding, but it is not expanding evenly. YipitData’s new report draws on retail transaction data across online and brick-and-mortar channels to show consumer electronics brands where demand is forming, how it responds to device launches, and how long it continues after a phone is sold.

- How new cell phone launches impact accessory demand
- How changes in phone features and standards reshape accessory categories, including the charging cable market
