Market Overview:
The global earphones and headphones market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for earphones and headphones for fitness, gaming, VR, and other applications. In terms of type, the in-ear segment is expected to dominate the global earphones and headphones market during the forecast period. This segment is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7% from 2018 to 2030.
Product Definition:
Earphones are small speakers that are inserted into the ear canal, while headphones cover the entire outer ear. Both allow users to listen to audio without disturbing others. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, with prices ranging from a few dollars to hundreds of dollars.
In-Ear:
In-ear is a type of earphones or headphones that are inserted into the ear canal. They provide a better seal around the ear, which prevents external sound from escaping. In-ear models are usually smaller and lighter than on-headphone models as they do not need to accommodate larger speakers and microphones.
Over-Ear:
Over-ear is a design of headphones where the ear cups are mounted over the ear. The design offers better passive isolation from external sound and a more immersive experience. Over-ear models offer greater comfort as they seal out external noise, thus making them popular for long listening sessions. In addition, these headphones do not put pressure on the neck and head due to their light weight which makes it easier to wear for longer durations.
Application Insights:
The fitness application segment dominated the global earphones and headphones market, accounting for a revenue share of over 30.0% in 2017. The growing popularity of wearable devices such as Fitbit products is expected to drive demand for earphones and headphones that are designed specifically for fitness applications. Furthermore, the increasing number of gym-goers across the globe is anticipated to further fuel demand over the forecast period.
The gaming application segment accounted for a significant revenue share in 2017 owing to rising demand from both casual gamers as well as hardcore players who require premium sound experience while playing games on their smartphones or tablets. Moreover, with technological advancements such as noise cancellation technology integrated into earphones, gamers can enjoy immersive virtual reality (VR) experiences without any additional equipment or headsets.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017. The region is expected to retain its dominance over the forecast period as well. This can be attributed to increasing demand for high-fidelity sound systems, along with growing popularity of outdoor activities such as hiking and cycling. In addition, rising number of fitness centers across U.S., Canada, and Mexico is anticipated to fuel product demand in near future. Asia Pacific is projected to emerge as a promising regional market over the next eight years owing to increasing disposable income levels coupled with growing penetration of leading global players into this region due primarily by their expansion strategies adopted by them which include launching new products within existing categories or segments or through mergers & acquisitions (M&A). For instance, Xiaomi Corporation acquired Hong Kong based audio equipment manufacturer Blackmore Group Ltd., in order for Xiaomi Corporation gaining entry into highly lucrative portable audio device segment through its subsidiary Mi India Electronics Pvt Ltd.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for earphones and headphones in the global market as a result of technological advancements in portable audio devices.
- Rising disposable income of consumers, especially in developing countries, is propelling the growth of the earphones and headphones market.
- Growing popularity of sports and outdoor activities is resulting in an increase in demand for sports earphones and headphones.
