TRUE WIRELESS HEADPHONES MARKET: SEGMENTATION

This research report includes a detailed segmentation by features, price range, noise accentuation, distribution channel, and geography. The demand for smart true wireless headphones has grown in recent years as an increasing number of consumers focus on product aesthetics and add-on features. The sports and fitness segment witnessed an increased application in 2019. The growing adoption of smartphones and other portable connected devices such as tablets and portable music players is a major factor influencing the segment growth. While smart headphones include a slew of features - water resistance, noise cancellation, improved sound format, 3D surround sound technology, storage capacity, they can perform a host of functions other than answering calls and streaming music. These features include gesture recognition, sensors, and biometric recognition. However, the increasing availability of counterfeit and low-quality products can severely hinder the sale of smart headphone brands.

Bluetooth has become a preferred choice among OEMs as this technology is increasing the demand for true wireless headphones. Vendors are launching noise attenuating earphones with features that can regulate ambient sounds using active noise control. Most headphone users are aware that non-industrial sounds can affect the hearing. The use of loud volume while listening to the audio on earphones is due to the presence of surrounding sounds that leads to the rise in the adoption of active noise-canceling headphones. Over 16 global vendors are offering true wireless earbuds with noise cancellation capabilities. Hence, the rising demand for noise cancellation in audio settings, including hearing protection products and protective communication devices, is driving the transition of noise-canceling headsets into the hearables segment that includes headphones, hearing augmentation solutions, and commercial headsets.

The premium headphones segment is expected to will witness 3 times growth during the forecast period. The segmet is adopted by brands such as Bose, Sennheiser, Apple, Sony, and Samsung. The ability of these vendors to integrate premium wireless headphones with hi-tech functionalities such as layered hearing and speech amplification is expected to drive the segment growth. Currently, smart and branded true wireless headphones fall under this segment. Another reason for the surge in the adoption of premium models is that users are finding new affection for these devices. It is estimated that over 3 billion users worldwide will regularly consume audio and video by streaming directly over their phones and other portable devices such as tablets by 2025. This is expected to drive the demand for premium devices as they help to consume media comfortably and discreetly.




True wireless headphones are mainly sold through online channels and retail distribution channels such as specialty stores supermarkets and hypermarkets or mass-market players, and electronic stores. In 2019, online sales accounted for over 82% of the distribution model, with retail sales accounting for the rest. The online channel is the largest distribution channel. It is expected to grow further during the forecast period as smart and innovative earphones are being recognized and accepted as the ideal gift items among consumers in several geographies. Consumers are becoming aware of new and innovative products in the market. Moreover, the adoption of new technologies is increasing across demographics across the globe. Hence, the growth opportunities for headphones are increasing parallelly. Further, the impact of the corona pandemic has led to several vendors in both online and offline channels to slash their prices, and it is likely to continue until the global true wireless market revives.
