Electric Guitar Market Size
The global electric guitar market size was valued at $5.11 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $7.54 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 6.7% during the forecast period.
Electric Guitar Market Overview
An electric guitar is a musical instrument that utilizes a pickup system to convert the vibrations of its metal strings into electrical signals. Distinguished by its solid or semi-hollow body, an electric guitar requires external amplification to produce sound. Unlike acoustic guitars, which rely on the resonant qualities of their bodies, electric guitars depend on electronic amplification. The guitar's design comprises a body, often solid or semi-hollow, a neck with frets and tuning pegs, and magnetic pickups situated beneath the strings. These pickups capture the string vibrations, transforming them into electrical signals. Various controls on the guitar, such as knobs and switches, allow musicians to manipulate the volume, tone, and pickup selection. Electric guitars are known for their versatility, making them a popular choice across a spectrum of music genres, from rock and blues to jazz and pop.
Electric Guitar Market Dynamics
- The electric guitar market is expected to witness significant growth in the future due to the rise in disposable income, increase in the number of musical bands across the world, and rapid economic expansions.
- Additionally, the continued popularity of rock music and creation of the novel technologies are the prominent factors driving the growth of the electric guitar market.
- However, the high cost of manufacturing and lack of highly skilled and trained labor are restraining the market growth.

During the pandemic, the global electric guitar market faced challenges due to disruptions in the supply chain. Factory closures, restrictions on transportation, and delays in raw material shipments affected production schedules, leading to shortages and delays in product availability. Some manufacturers used the slowdown as an opportunity to invest in innovation and technology. This period saw the development of new features, designs, and digital enhancements for electric guitars to meet the evolving preferences of musicians. The electric guitar market demonstrated resilience as businesses adapted to the new normal. Virtual events, online tutorials, and creative marketing strategies helped maintain engagement with consumers and mitigate some of the adverse effects.
By Type, the Solid Body Guitar Segment is projected to be the Largest Segment in the Electric Guitar Market
The Solid Body Guitar segment is projected to be the largest segment in the Electric Guitar market during the forecast period owing to the widespread popularity of rock and metal music genres. Solid-body electric guitars are particularly favored in the realm of rock music, making them a staple for many bands. The increasing global count of musical groups is anticipated to fuel the demand for solid-body electric guitars in the coming years.
- For instance, according to Geography Realm's data from May 2021, Finland exhibited a notable rise in heavy metal bands, with 70.6 bands per 100,000 people, compared to 53.2 bands per 100,000 people in 2012.

The expanding interest in music and the willingness to invest in entertainment and leisure activities have contributed to a surge in product demand in the Asia Pacific. Additionally, the rising participation of musical bands in organizing music shows and festivals is expected to drive market growth in the forecast period.
