PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Panasonic expected to retain its lead in home audio and cinema
Panasonic is forecast to maintain its lead in home audio and cinema, building on a steady pipeline of portable speakers and soundbars designed to complement modern television viewing. Recent launches such as the SC-HTB490 and HTB150 have been positioned to enhance home entertainment for consumers seeking higher-quality audio without investing in full cinema systems.
Japanese brands remain dominant but face competition from premium Western players
Sony has continued to narrow the gap with Panasonic, leveraging a broad portfolio across premium and mid-range models available through both specialist retailers and its own counters in department stores. Western brands such as Bose and Marshall are also winning followers in Taiwan, thanks to their strong design aesthetics, retro appeal, and reputation for innovation.
Local brands gain visibility through creative retail strategies
Local players such as YPL Audio are carving out space in a market dominated by international brands by focusing on distribution expansion and niche positioning. YPL has expanded into Syntrend Creative Park and partnered with Eslite Bookstore, where vinyl record fairs and 24-hour music shops help draw attention to its vacuum tube amplifiers and hi-tech designs.
