PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Soundbar adoption is set to rise, benefiting from TV upgrades and space constraints
Overall sales of home audio and cinema products in the Netherlands are expected to decline over the forecast period, reflecting reduced consumer interest in dedicated audio or large component-based setups, particularly in urban households where living space is at a premium. Consequently, there will be significant decline for digital media players docks and Hi-Fi systems, as consumers increasingly opt for streaming music online.
Virtual surround sound innovations are set to drive growth in premium soundbars
One of the most impactful innovations in soundbars will be the continued evolution of virtual surround sound technology, which enables immersive audio without the need for complex multi-speaker installations. Key innovations include upfiring drivers to support Dolby Atmos and DTS:X height channels, side-firing speakers and acoustic beam technology to simulate rear speaker output, and advanced room calibration algorithms powered by built-in microphones or companion mobile apps.
AI-powered soundbars may emerge as the audio hub of modern Dutch households
The soundbar is set to evolve from being a speaker, to becoming a central entertainment audio hub. As technology advances, soundbars will increasingly incorporate AI-driven features that extend far beyond traditional auto-calibration.
