Consumer Technology Association (CTA) is a U.S.-based trade association representing companies across the consumer technology sector, including device manufacturers, component suppliers, software and services firms, retailers, and startups. Headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, CTA provides industry research, policy advocacy, and collaborative forums to address technology, market, and regulatory issues affecting consumer electronics and related ecosystems.
CTA is the organizer of CES, a major global technology trade event held annually in Las Vegas, which showcases innovations across electronics, digital health, mobility, smart home, and other connected technologies. The association also develops technical standards as an ANSI-accredited standards developer and publishes market insights that inform industry participants and policymakers.
While not a chemical producer, CTA’s scope intersects with materials and supply chains relevant to the chemical industry through areas such as electronic components, batteries, polymers, and advanced materials used in consumer devices and emerging technologies.
