Trending endorsements of portable devices such as smartphones, mobiles, laptops, and tablets have prominently driven the headphones market size over the past few years. This current hype persisting in the headphone industry is not a fad but the future of the industry. The rising adoption can be allocated to the fact that several people are tethered to their smart devices, such as music players, mobiles, and tablets, for a significant portion of their day, primarily, for listening music, watching videos, or playing games. From being predominantly a home audio accessory, the Global headphones market has evolved to a premium portable AV device. Products integrated with microphones have witnessed increased adoption. Additionally, the rising trend of providing a holistic experience may contribute positively to the revenue market.
The crucial factors attributing increased product sales are the technological advances in the headphone industry amongst which the most prolific advancement, particularly in the consumer segment, is the noise cancellation & wireless connectivity. Additionally, incorporation of fitness features and intense competition has resulted in growing efforts towards product differentiation. This market is poised to exceed in billions by 2023. These advances have emerged as key trends over the past five years with manufacturers emphasizing on developing products that provide quality audio and save a user, from the possible hassles. Manufacturers also invest heavily in R&D and allocate their efforts on developing innovative products that offer maximum product differentiation. Another trend witnessed over the past few years is of Mergers and acquisitions. For example, Apple acquired Beats Electronics and Beats Music in May 2014 to establish itself firmly in the industry.
The global headphones industry is a highly competitive sphere with majority of the industry participants focusing on new product development and technological innovation. Incumbent players also focus on strengthening distribution channels in order to compete with emerging participants. The overall revenue share was exceeded by Asia Pacific, in 2015. Additionally, the increasing consumer disposable incomes in developing countries, such as India, China, and Brazil, are expected to significantly propel the market demand. North America can be considered as the next significant region of importance closely followed by Europe.
The global headphones market is segmented based on the product type: into wired and wireless headphones; on the basis of price: into premium, mid and low price segments; on the basis of distribution channel: multi-brand store, single/mono brand store and online store; and on the basis of application: into media and entertainment, sports, gaming, personal and corporate segments.
Envisaged from research, the world economy enlarged by just 2.2 per cent in the year 2016, and is anticipated to further extend by only 2.7 per cent in 2017 and reach till 2.9 per cent in 2018, it can be contemplated as a state of stagnant growth. The market is growing and recovering on a very sedating pace, indicating the state of economic stabilization for the present as well as the future rather than a robust revival of global demand. Moreover, the correspondence between the demand, investment, trade and productivity coupled with the weak global growth may prove to be self perpetuating for the Headphone industry in collaboration with the efforts to revive investment and productivity through policy initiatives.
