Media Days wasn’t just about product launches — it was about understanding the bigger picture. The Consumer Technology (CTA)® presented Tech Trends to Watch, offering insights into the research and trends shaping 2026 and beyond. CTA unveiled its U.S. Consumer Technology Industry Forecast, projecting the industry to reach $565 billion in revenue in 2026, growing 3.7% year over year.

While growth remained steady, challenges persisted — rising costs and supply chain disruptions hit smaller companies harder. Still, key segments thrived. Consumers leaned into software-driven value, subscription models and AI-powered experiences. Premium features and personalization became the name of the game.

CTA’s Tech Trends to Watch highlighted three forces shaping the next phase of consumer tech:

1. Intelligent Transformation – AI became foundational across devices, platforms and services. 
2. Longevity Technologies – Digital health and wellness tools accelerated as consumers prioritized longer, healthier lives. 
3. Engineering Tomorrow – Electrification, mobility and energy management paved the way for infrastructure modernization. 

Immediately after the Tech Trends presentation, CES Unveiled Las Vegas gave media badge holders a sneak peek at more than 100 exhibitors and their groundbreaking innovations including the world’s first AI-combo drug AgentZ; Plaud’s wearable AI notetaker; Nosh, the AI powered robo-chef; Skeekar’s adorable AI pocket-sized pet; and Withings upgraded Body Scan 2.

The excitement continued Monday evening when AMD’s Dr. Lisa Su kicked off the CES keynote series. The room quickly reached capacity as attendees gathered to hear AMD and its partners unveil their vision for AI everywhere, for everyone.

Dr. Su discussed how the company’s portfolio of AI products and deep cross-industry collaborations are turning the promise of AI into real-world impact. She unveiled new AI-focused products, including the Ryzen AI 400 Series for next-gen AI PCs, the MI440X GPU for enterprise and the Ryzen AI Halo developer platform, emphasizing AI integration from data centers to edge devices and real-world applications with partners like OpenAI. She also provided an early look at its “Helios” rack-scale platform and announced a commitment of $150 million to bring AI into more classrooms and communities.

CES 2026 isn’t just a trade show. It’s where the future gets written. Stay tuned for more of the latest tech announcements from the world’s most powerful tech event.
