description In a context of the foreignization of many of the largest Argentinian businesses, a number of comparatively smaller local business groups related to the production or commercialization of consumer electronics have obtained high rates of growth since 2003. The objective of this article is to explain this phenomenon by means of the concept of “privileged areas of accumulation”. Using reports from different business associations and the memories of selected groups, as well as macro and mesoeconomic information, this article shows the main characteristics of this privileged area of accumulation, illustrating how the business groups adapted their productiveand financial dynamics in order to benefit from it and demonstrating its decisive importance for the profitability of these groups.

En un contexto de extranjerización de varias de las empresas de capitales argentinos de mayor facturación, una serie de grupos de capitales locales de menor tamaño relativo, vinculados a la producción o comercialización de electrónica de consumo, obtuvieron altas tasas de crecimiento a partir de 2003. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo explicar este fenómeno desde el concepto de los “ámbitos privilegiados de acumulación”. Haciendo uso de informes de cámaras empresariales y memorias de los grupos seleccionados, así como también de información macro y mesoeconómica, el artículo delimita las principales características de este ámbito privilegiado de acumulación, ilustra cómo los grupos adaptaron su dinámica productiva y financiera para beneficiarse de él y demuestra el peso decisivo que tiene actualmente para la rentabilidad de estos grupos.
