The increasing popularity of smart home devices is anticipated to drive the growth of the wireless speakers market in the coming years. Smart home devices are electronic gadgets and appliances that connect to a home network, allowing for remote control via smartphones, tablets, or voice assistants. These devices offer enhanced convenience, improved energy efficiency, heightened security, and greater control over home environments through connectivity and automation. Wireless speakers play a crucial role in smart home ecosystems by serving as central hubs for voice control and audio streaming. They enable users to interact with other smart devices via voice commands, play music throughout the home, and integrate seamlessly into home automation systems, creating a cohesive and user-friendly experience. For instance, a report from RubyHome, a US-based real estate company, indicated that as of August 2023, approximately 63.43 million homes in the US utilize smart home devices, with about 70% of homebuyers expressing a willingness to purchase smart homes. Thus, the rising popularity of smart home devices is driving the growth of the wireless speakers market.
The increasing demand for smartphones is expected to propel the wireless speakers market's growth in the future. Smartphones, with their combination of cellular phone functionality and various features such as internet connectivity, multimedia capabilities, app-based applications, and touchscreen interfaces, serve as primary audio sources for wireless speakers. Users can stream music and other content to these devices through Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connections. For instance, a report by Uswitch Limited, a UK-based financial conduct authority, revealed that starting in 2022, the UK witnessed a 3.8% increase (around 2.6 million) in mobile connections, reaching 71.8 million. By 2025, it is projected that 95% of the UK's population (approximately 65 million people) will possess smartphones. Hence, the growing demand for smartphones is a key driver for the wireless speakers market.
Advanced technologies, such as AI-assisted devices, are emerging trends in the wireless speakers market. This is primarily due to the user-friendly nature of AI-enabled wireless speakers, which offer features like voice recognition, allowing users to operate the speakers through voice commands. Wireless speakers utilizing AI software leverage the cloud to provide a reliable storage base for data and facilitate quick data access. For example, in June 2022, Sonos Inc., a US-based audio equipment manufacturer, introduced Sonos Voice Control, a voice interface specifically designed for managing music and Sonos systems. This innovative feature is particularly noteworthy for its focus on privacy, as it processes voice commands entirely on the device without transmitting audio or transcripts to the cloud.
The Federal Communication Commission (FCC), an independent agency of the US government, regulates interstate communications, including those in the wireless speakers market. Manufacturers in this market must obtain certification from the FCC to launch their products, with mandatory safety testing as part of the certification process. The FCC has established a bandwidth limit of 600 MHz for wireless devices, exceeding which results in disqualification of FCC certification. Therefore, FCC regulations on interstate communications play a vital role in overseeing companies involved in the wireless speakers market.
Key players in the wireless speaker market are intensifying their focus on introducing portable speakers, exemplified by products such as the SRS-XV800 and the SRS-XB100, to enhance revenue generation. Both the SRS-XV800 and SRS-XB100 are portable speakers equipped with Bluetooth connectivity. For instance, in May 2023, Sony Electronics Inc., a US-based electronics company, unveiled two new wireless speakers - the SRS-XV800, designed to deliver loud and clear sound for various purposes such as hosting parties or watching content, and the SRS-XB100, a compact wireless speaker delivering powerful and clear sound with exceptional portability.
