Product Definition:
High-resolution audio, also known as audiophile audio, is digital music or sound recordings that have been created with a higher sampling rate and/or bit depth than the standard CD quality of 44.1 kHz/16-bit. This means that high-resolution audio files are capable of capturing more detail and nuance in the music than standard CDs. Because they offer a higher level of fidelity, high-resolution audio files can often provide a more immersive listening experience than lower resolution formats.
Wired Audio:
Wired audio is a technology that allows the transmission of audio signals via cables, usually used for connecting external home theater systems or as an input device in computers. The term “wired” typically refers to a connection scheme that uses physical wires and connectors. Wired connections are generally made up of RCA jacks, TOSlink optical Toslink, coaxial cable, USB cable (for power),RCA phono plugs (for analog sources).
Wireless Audio:
Wireless audio is the transmission of audio signals via radio waves or infrared rays. The term wireless usually refers to Bluetooth, but can also apply to technologies like Wi-Fi and Near Field Communication (NFC). Wireless technology has been around for quite some time; however, it was not until recently that its applications expanded beyond consumer electronics into high-end components as well.
Application Insights:
The market is segmented on the basis of application into below 18, 18-34, and above 34 age groups. The below 18 age group held a major share in 2017 owing to increasing adoption of high-resolution audio products among consumers across the globe. Moreover, this demographic is more inclined towards high-quality sound as compared to other age groups and thus has a greater potential to influence product demand in near future.
The above 34 category is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period due to growing preference for audiophile audio products among music listeners aged Above 34 years worldwide.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017 owing to the presence of a large number of audiophiles. The region is home to some of the major companies such as Shure, Audio-Technica, and Grado Labs. These companies are continuously working on developing advanced headphones that provide high-quality sound output with minimal distortion.
Asia Pacific is expected to be one of the fastest growing markets over the forecast period owing to increasing disposable income among middle class population groups in countries such as China and India. This has resulted in increased demand for consumer electronics including audio systems that can produce high-quality sound at affordable prices. Moreover, rising penetration of digital music services has led consumers towards purchasing higher quality headphones for enjoying High Resolution Audio content over wireless devices or via cables connected directly between source device and headset/earphones unit (RCA).
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for high-resolution audio products from audiophiles
- Growing popularity of online music streaming services
- Proliferation of portable digital audio players and headphones
- Development of new audio codecs and file formats
- Advances in digital signal processing technology
