Technological advancements in various audio devices have transformed the fashion in which music is played and appreciated. The audio industry has witnessed a shift to the rise in demands for wireless based audio devices such as portable Bluetooth speakers, sound bars, headphones and microphones. End-user demand and adoption for portable Bluetooth speakers and other such devices are gaining traction.

Growing number of smart homes in the North America region aiding market growth

Many homes in developed nations like the U.S and Canada are being revamped into smart homes. In a smart home, consumer electronic devices, media and entertainment gadgets, and other smart electronics are connected to the home network and can interact with each other.

These connected devices facilitate consumers to monitor and play music from remote locations and allow consumers to play different music in different rooms by adding additional streaming devices. These features are expected to increase adoption of portable Bluetooth speakers in the countries in North America, thereby contributing to the growth in revenue of the market.

Threat of piracy hindering revenue growth of the portable Bluetooth speaker market

Piracy is a major challenge to various markets, including that for portable Bluetooth speakers. The materials utilized, sound properties as well as durability of pirated products are inferior to those offered by major portable Bluetooth speaker manufacturers. However, pirated products are offered at a fraction of the price of original products and people, especially in developing countries such as China and India, are inclined towards the purchase of such products. The prevalence of counterfeit products hamper market growth to a significant extent.

Change in taste of listening to music among consumers

The format of music is gradually changing to digital, hi-fi systems and manufacturers are designing, developing and pursuing innovation in sound systems. In the past, consumers focused on speakers with high watts featuring better sound quality. However, residential users are limited in terms of compatibility and loud music may be unpleasing and disturbing to neighbors.

The customer need has changed to innovation. Key purchases of hi-fi systems in the recent past have been with Wi-Fi connection, Bluetooth, plug-in of various card reader types, USBs including supported files or even a mixture with disco lighting, and so on.
