PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Premiumisation offsets volume decline in UK home audio and cinema
UK home audio and cinema is projected to continue declining in volume sales over the forecast period, driven by long replacement cycles and shifting consumer preferences. Categories like digital media player docks have virtually disappeared in the UK, while Hi-Fi systems, audio separates, and home cinema and speaker systems, with the exception of soundbars, are increasingly being replaced by more compact and convenient solutions such as wireless speakers.
Interest in technological advancements helps high-end audio products
Although volume growth in the UK home audio and cinema category will remain subdued over the forecast period, ongoing premiumisation driven by technological innovation will help to lift average unit prices. Consumers continue to invest in high-end soundbars featuring advanced capabilities like Dolby Atmos, built-in subwoofers, and multi-speaker setups.
AI sound improvements and optimisation will become mainstream
More AI-powered products are expected to emerge in the forecast period, following the pattern seen in other categories such as televisions. In home audio and cinema, innovation is likely to affect audio calibration, such as using microphones and digital processing to analyse room acoustics and optimise output for any space.
