United States Headphones Market Growth
As per the Consumer Technology Association of the USA, wireless headphones rank among the top 5 consumer technology products owned in the United States. Nearly 98% of US households have smartphones, with nearly 50% having a gaming console. The earbud penetration rate in the United States is 65%, while the headphone penetration rate is nearly 68%. Increasing consumption of digital media content is expected to drive the rising demand for personal audio devices, thereby facilitating the market growth.
Neural headphones are expected to find increasing application in the healthcare sector, where they can be utilised by patients for minimising stress and improving bodily relaxation. This is achieved by listening to ultrasonic sound waves, which stimulate the vagus nerve in the brain, and facilitate various bodily functions, like breathing and digestion.
Innovations in headphone designs are expected to drive their adoption across the United States. Bone conduction headphones, which transmit sound to the users’ ears through their jaws and bones, rather than the ear canal have increased consumers’ safety by enabling them to hear external sounds in outdoor settings. They can also eliminate the pain and discomfort associated with plugging traditional headphones into the ears while minimising sound distortions and improving overall audio quality.
