US Sound Reinforcement Market: Segmentation
The market research report includes detailed market segmentation by products, distribution channels, formats, and end-users. The US sound reinforcement market by product can be segmented into microphones, pro speakers, audio/sound mixers, audio signal processors, power amplifiers, others. In 2018, the microphones segment led the market and is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 2.5% during the forecast period. The growth in the microphone industry is propelled by upgrades and replacements of the legacy system. Further, vendors are also exploring ways to implement IoT and AV technology in microphones, which allows the user to operate from remote areas. For instance, in 2014, Taylor University located in Indiana, US invested in Shure ULX-D digital wireless system for campus audio requirements. Pro speakers are the second largest market, and the US sound reinforcement market is witnessing increased adoption of pro speakers. Pro speakers are widely used in vertical markets such as corporates, live music events and festivals, public speaking, and broadcasting and recording studios. The sound mixers, audio signal processors, and audio power amplifiers segments are gaining momentum due to the growth in the music industry. With the increased music production and the growing market for nightclubs and DJ equipment, the demand for audio mixers is expected to grow in the US sound reinforcement market during the forecast period.
The US sound reinforcement market by format can be segmented into digital and analog segments. The digital segment captured more than half of the market in 2018 and is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 4.5%. The analog segment, on the other hand, is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 1.3% during the forecast period.
The US sound reinforcement market by distribution can be segmented into online and retail segments. In 2018, the retail segment contributed the highest market revenue globally. Although the trend of selling sound reinforcement products online and in OEM stores is growing, a significant share of product distribution in the market takes place through conventional pro audio and electronics stores/outlets. However, with the increasing penetration of the internet, the availability of high discounts and access to consumer reviews, the online distribution segment of the US sound reinforcement market is likely to increase during the forecast period.
The US sound reinforcement market by end-user can be segmented into large venues and events, corporates, educational institutes, government and military, hospitality, and others. The corporate sector is expected to remain the largest end-user segment in the sound reinforcement market, contributing a significant revenue share to the global market by 2024. Further, the geographical expansion of companies and integration of IoT in business workflow processes are other major factors, which have made corporates as the largest end-user. The corporate segment will grow due to the growing demand for AV conferencing solutions among organizations during the forecast period. The growing application of pro AV systems in the hospitality sector is also driving the demand for AV products.
