Market Insights

The global demand for headphones and earphones is primarily driven by the perpetually growing demand for smartphones, tablets, and portable media devices. With the advancements in technology, not only have headphones and earphones become more light weight and compact, but also more feature rich (ex- incorporation of microphones, noise cancellation technology, and water resistant among others).  Consequently, their applications have extended beyond personal entertainment and media to sports, gaming, healthcare, and corporate segments. Furthermore, rise in consumer discretionary income and evolving consumer digital habits is expected propel the demand for headphones and earphones globally.
