PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Lifestyles and streaming habits will drive demand for mid-range wireless headphones
Sales of wireless headphones in Malaysia are expected to rise over the forecast period, due to changing lifestyle habits and a growing reliance on digital entertainment and communication. Category growth will be primarily due to increased demand for affordable mid-range offerings, particularly wireless headbands, which are expected to see the fastest growth, albeit from a relatively low base.
Gaming culture will drive demand for wireless headbands and TWS earbuds
Malaysia’s gaming culture is becoming a key driver of wireless headphones, particularly among urban youth and esports enthusiasts. Wireless headbands are increasingly valued for home-based gaming setups due to their immersive sound quality, comfort, and extended battery life.
Open-ear wireless earbuds signal a new wave of product innovation
Open-ear wireless earbuds are emerging as a niche but promising innovation, offering a fresh alternative to traditional in-ear designs. These products prioritise situational awareness, comfort, and ear health, allowing users to enjoy audio while remaining alert to their surroundings, features that are ideal for commuting, exercising, or extended use.
