Wireless Audio Device Market Trends

Bluetooth Technology to lead the Wireless Audio Device Market


Bluetooth technology is a universally accepted standard. It is compatible with almost every device, which is the primary reason behind the technology outperforming other technologies in the market. One such technological advancement was the introduction of Qualcomm aptX and Bluetooth 4.0, which brought out a significant change in the speaker's sound quality, bolstering its adoption. Bluetooth consumes less power as compared to other wireless audio transmission technologies.
This factor has made Bluetooth technology a preferred choice in smartphones for wireless audio transmission. In addition, market incumbents, such as HTC, Samsung, and OnePlus, have been identified to incorporate Bluetooth 5.0 technology into their smartphones, further increasing its adoption. According to Bluetooth 2020 Report, 94% of all speakers include Bluetooth technology, demonstrating high consumer confidence in wireless audio. It is expected that about 423 million Bluetooth speakers will be shipped in 2025, compared to 350 million units in 2021. Most of them are anticipated to be smart speakers.
The primary reason for the increasing adoption of consumer speakers is their ability to wirelessly stream audio content and enhance the overall sound experience for both wired and non-wired counterparts. In October 2021, the Bose SoundLink Flex Bluetooth wireless speaker was introduced to cater to the uptick in demand. It is one of Bose's more compact, less expensive wireless choices for outdoor and tough use. The new wireless speaker has a transportable, lightweight design intended for outdoor use, and its IP67 construction permits significant exposure to dirt and water.
In November 2022, TPV Technology introduced the Philips TAS2505B Portable Bluetooth wireless speaker in India. The portable Bluetooth speaker has multi-color LEDs and is IPX7-rated. It is advertised as having a 20 m wireless range. According to the manufacturer, the device can provide up to 10 hours of entertainment on a single charge, and full control takes 2.5 hours. Calls can be taken via the built-in microphone, and the music will pause during calls.
In August 2022, the SRS-XG300, SRS-XE300, and SRS-XE200 were the three new portable Bluetooth speakers that Sony India released. As per the company, the SRS-XE200 is one of the more affordable models in its range, while the SRS-XG300 is the most expensive and feature-rich of the bunch. In addition to other features, they have X-Balanced Speakers, Live Sound Mode, MEGA BASS, Party Connect, up to 25 hours of battery life, IP67 rating, quick charging, and a USB Type-C port.


Asia-Pacific Region Expected to Witness High Market Growth


The demand for various wireless microphone-related goods in the APAC region, which are utilized in driver assistance systems, controllers, power-integrated devices, telematics, and Asia-Pacific Positioning Systems, has expanded as a result of growing automation in the automobile industry. Electric vehicles and driverless vehicles both use these components often. Therefore, it is anticipated that increased demand for electric cars will encourage product adoption over the forecast period.
For instance, according to IEA, China sold more electric automobiles in 2021 than any other country in Asia-Pacific (more than 3.33 million units). In New Zealand, 10.3 thousand electric vehicles were sold in 2021, in comparison. Such a rise in the sales of electric vehicles is expected to drive the market studied.
Goertek and Qualcomm Technologies have recently worked together to create the new Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 5G Reference Design. Additional feature activations include support for 2Kx2K per eye dual panel LCDs, 3D audio and voice commands, and the SDX55 modem, which enables unbounded XR over 5G and 60-GHz wireless access. This will aid the business in strengthening its brand reorganization in the market and developing and expanding its product portfolio in the wireless microphones sector.
The significant number of youngsters makes India one of the world's largest millennial markets, demanding wireless audio products in all categories of entry, mid-level and high-performance, and expensive wireless audio devices. For instance, according to the World Bank, about 25.78% of Indians were under the age of 14, 67.45 % were between the ages of 15 and 64, and 6.78% were over 65 in 2021. India also expects to observe high demand for Bluetooth and portable speaker systems.
China is one of the fastest-growing smart speaker markets. With major companies such as Xiaomi, Alibaba, and other small electronic manufacturers in the country, it is also one the most competitive market in the world for the speaker segment, with companies relying on aggressive price cuts. The growing economy, high per capita income, and acceptance of high-quality and international wireless audio systems and their eco-system are a few reasons for the ever-increasing demand for wireless audio devices in the nation.
Furthermore, the metros in the Asia-Pacific region are looking for premium products at a higher price range. Some major brands sold in the metros are Sennheiser, Sony, and JBL. Online sales predominantly control the market, with physical sales contributing less and less. Premium-grade headphones are sold in multi-brand outlets and exclusive brand outlets.
