PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Diverse TWS earbuds and economic challenges
Sales of wireless headphones are expected to continue to slow over the forecast period, reaching stagnation as early as 2026 and recording marginal declines.
Finding and generating new needs
Traditional audio manufacturers have long focused on enhancing sound quality and immersion - a trend that started with home audio systems and continued with wired headphones. With the advent of wireless headphones, these established audio players concentrated on maintaining high sound quality even over wireless connections.
AI integration in TWS earbuds
The utilisation of AI in TWS earbuds is advancing, enhancing user experiences with features such as automatic volume adjustment and the selective amplification of human voices. Although some might argue that these functions are more algorithmic than AI, they are often marketed under the AI umbrella for their intelligent processing capabilities.
