Market Overview:
The global open back headphones market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for open back headphones from professional users and the rising popularity of audiophile culture. Additionally, the growing trend of using personal audio devices for listening to music and watching videos is also contributing to the growth of this market. The global open back headphones market can be segmented on the basis of type into over-ear type and on-ear type. The over-ear type segment is expected to account for a larger share of this market than the on-ear type segment during the forecast period. This can be attributed to their superior sound quality as compared to on-ear headphones, which makes them popular among audiophiles. On the basis of application, this market can be divided into amateur and professional users.
Product Definition:
Open back headphones are designed with a perforated or open back that allows sound to escape the ear cups. This type of headphone is typically used in studio settings where audio professionals need to monitor the sound output of their work. Open back headphones allow users to hear what they are recording or mixing as it would sound in an untreated room, without the added coloration that can be introduced by closed-back headphones. They also provide a more natural and spacious listening experience, which is why many audiophiles prefer them for personal use.
Over-Ear Type:
Over-ear type is a headphone design that places the ear cup over the ear instead of around or on top of it. The majority of modern day headphones are of this type, including many popular models such as Sony MDR-7506, Bose SoundLink Mini II, and Sennheiser HD201. Over-ear types offer greater comfort owing to their soft leather or fabric padded cups that rest on the outer part of an individual's ear instead of pressing against it.
On-Ear Type:
On-ear type is also known as balanced armature headphones. It has a smaller ear cup at the end of a long stem that usually connects to the player or audio source. The design helps to keep external sound in and eliminates background noise, thus making it one of the preferred choices for personal listening.
Application Insights:
The application segment has been further categorized into amateur and professional. The amateur segment held around 70.0% of the overall share in 2017 owing to the growing usage of open back headphones for gaming, listening to music, watching videos and chatting on phones among other activities. The professional application segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period due to an increase in demand for open back headphones from audio-video professionals including DJs, live sound engineers and presenters as well as recording artists who use these products while performing at concerts or events.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global open back headphones market in 2017. This is attributed to increasing awareness regarding sound quality, rising disposable income of consumers, and growing popularity of portable devices among millennials. China and India are expected to emerge as lucrative markets for high-quality open back headphones over the forecast period owing to large consumer base in these countries.
North America is projected to be a significant region during the forecast period owing to growing demand from U.S.-based consumers for on-the-go music or podcasts while traveling or working out at gymnasiums and health clubs.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for high-quality audio experience in personal and professional settings
- Growing popularity of streaming music services and podcasts
- Proliferation of portable audio devices, such as smartphones and tablets
- Advances in headphone technology and design
- Rising awareness of the benefits of open back headphones
