The Hearables Market will register a CAGR of 11.7% during the forecast period. Hearables, advanced electronic device, is designed for multi-purpose use ranging from communication to wireless transmission, medical monitoring to fitness tracking, etc. These devices also perform various functions like listening to audio signals, heart rate tracking, voice-based personal assistants, environment-based noise suppression or audio enhancement, contextual location-based suggestions, gesture & touch-based control, and short-range and long-range inter-team communication.
Key Highlights
The primary factors driving the market include increased demand for wireless headphones and infotainment devices, rapid technological advancements, and the rising demand for miniaturized wearable electronic devices.
The hearables market also benefits from the voice user interface (UI) growth and resulting customer expectations. Various other factors drive growth in the hearables market, which has the potential for growth rates far beyond the wearables market.
Execution of technologies such as Wi-Fi, noise-canceling technology, Bluetooth/NFC speakers, contextual location-based suggestions, fitness & heart rate tracking language translation, voice-based personal assistants, environment-based noise suppression or audio enhancement, and gesture & touch-based control has led to an increase in adoption of smart headphone across commercial and domestic sectors. Thus, all these factors of emerging hearable computing in hearable devices assist in increasing the market growth.
Hearables can also face challenges from weight; creating a hearable device that is very heavy could put pressure on the ear. As such, a hearable device needs to reduce its weight as much as possible, which often reduces battery size and processing capability, which might affect the market growth.
The COVID-19 pandemic led to the government's lockdown restrictions, requiring consumers to stay indoors and work from home (WHF) or study. Hearables provide attractive solutions for helping work-from-homers measure and enhance their productivity, habits, and well-being. Hearables, with a suitable suite of applications, can deliver an inexpensive outlay for employers looking to increase worker satisfaction, creativity, and performance during Covid and in the new norm ahead.
