The use of the mobile phone for payments will not yet replace the traditional wallet, sales of printed books will quadruple those of e-books, short videos will not replace television and it is unlikely that 3D printers will turn every home into a factory, he predicts for 2015 Deloitte.
Although in-store smartphone purchases will increase more than 2015 percent over last year in 1.000, the mobile "wallet" will not yet replace the traditional wallet. But 2015 is characterized as a “turning point towards the widespread adoption of payments via smartphones inside the stores" by the Deloitte.
Five times the sales of printed books against e-books
According to the 14 version of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (Deloitte Global) Technology, Media and Telecommunications (TMT) forecasts for the next 12-18 months, printed books will continue to dominate the publishing industry. They will account for 80 percent of all book sales.
Smartphone: The market is not shrinking yet
Also, contrary to previous industry forecasts showing that smartphone sales are no longer growing, Deloitte Global predicts that there will be a billion upgrades in 2015, signaling that the market is not declining yet.
