The top three emerging market trends driving the global portable speaker market according to Technavio media and entertainment research analysts are:
The advent of networked audio means that all audio devices are wirelessly connected with technologies such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or AirPlay (News - Alert). These technologies separate a system's physical and logical connections, which means that a single network carries multiple channels, making it possible to make infrastructure changes relatively quickly and inexpensively. The growing trend of maintaining speakers in all the rooms is supporting the growth of the portable speaker market. Multi-room speakers need to be connected to one master speaker that can be connected wirelessly with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or AirPlay. Bluetooth speakers constitute more than 75% of the portable speaker market. By 2021, all portable speakers will support wireless connectivity. High R&D investments Vendors are spending huge amounts on R&D of Bluetooth speakers. They have successfully improved the battery life and efficiency of the devices compared with previous versions. They are also focusing on manufacturing products that are waterproof, suitable for outdoor use, and able to withstand harsh conditions. Some of the noteworthy rugged portable speakers are Bose SoundLink Color, TREX Max A34, UE Megaboom, ECOXGEAR Eco Stone, Braven BRV-X, and Aukey SK-M4. Advent of cloud-hosted music streaming services Cloud computing provides individuals with legal access to online music. It allows subscribed users to access digital content stored on remote servers. The rising adoption of cloud-hosted music services will lead to the increase in music streaming. This is expected to increase the applications of portable speakers. Earlier, listening to music was only possible using devices like cassettes, CD players, and iPods. However, in the current scenario, consumers are switching to an access-based approach, where they subscribe to digital libraries stored in the cloud. With the availability of networked audio devices connected with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or AirPlay, listeners can directly access the content stored in the cloud. For instance, SongPal and Spotify (News - Alert) are services that can be accessed via networked audio products. "In addition, products like Amazon Echo connect to the Alexa Voice Service to play music and provide real-time information on news, sports scores, and weather. This is opening up new opportunities for the global portable speaker market," says Ujjwal. Browse Related Reports:
