KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

Media players are widely popular among people as they can listen to music at any place with such products. They are available in different shapes and memory sizes in the market. Media players with music streaming services inbuilt in it are widely popular among the youngsters as they can listen to songs from such players without paying for additional music streaming services. Consumers increasingly use Bluetooth technology-based audio media players to connect such devices with sound bars and smartphones easily.


Nowadays, companies are offering innovative media players to expand their portfolio of such products. For instance, in July 2018, IRIVER Inc., a South Korean consumer electronics company, launched Activo CT10, an innovative touchscreen-based digital media player with the ability to playback high-resolution audio files and be connected to the streaming services.

Nowadays, companies are focusing on regularly upgrading their music player product line by introducing newer music or video content features on their existing line of products or launching newer music players. This is likely to attract the users towards buying such products which thereby, drives the market growth. For instance, in December 2019, Mighty Audio, a U.S. based portable music player company, launched the Amazon Music feature for its portable, streaming music player products. The company's users can enjoy on-the-go music streaming with their existing players or newer music players without any necessity of internet connection or smartphone.

Besides this, the uncertain occurrence of the COVID-19 and lockdown restriction in many countries shifted the consumer preference towards availing audio music streaming services.

Additionally, growing consumer spending for entertainment-related services is expected to ease the use of such goods and thereby fuel market growth.

However, people widely listen to songs from their smartphones and tablet devices. This is anticipated to restrain the market growth. Additionally, frequent necessities of such products' repairing are expected to limit such a product's demand.
