Market Dynamics- Drivers
- Increasing disposable income of consumers is expected to drive growth of the global home audio equipment market during the forecast period
Disposable income of consumers has increased over the years, with consumers buying more latest technological products available in the market. Blue-ray disk, MP3 players, computers, and video game players are the major sources of entertainment for families. With growing consumer preference for better quality products and an increase in disposable incomes, consumers are expected to buy home entertainment products. Therefore, these factors are expected to drive growth of the global home audio equipment market during the forecast period.
- Rising demand for home audio networking is expected to propel the global home audio equipment market growth over the forecast period
Home audio networking refers to a network of audio devices (TV, computer, stereo, and so on) and speakers distributed across a house. It is also known as whole-house audio or whole-home audio. The concept of audio networking has been introduced in the past. However; digital networked audio helps users in replacing error-prone and expensive cables. Audio networking can overcome the limitations imposed by traditional analog audio systems and provides a more economical design, efficient and enhanced features, and improved functionality. Networked audio technology has opened a wide array of possibilities for the audio industry. Furthermore, with the convergence of consumer electronics and personal computers (PC), manufacturers are adding more audio/video capability to the PC platform in an effort to succeed in the home electronics market. On the contrary, home audio equipment manufacturers are adding the networking capability to their products. Hence, these factors are expected to propel the global home audio equipment market growth over the forecast period.

Market Dynamics- Restraints
- Fear of hearing loss is expected to hinder the global home audio equipment market growth over the forecast period
According to a series of research conducted in 2002 with 116 infants the effect on the hearing ability of infants in a noisy environment is similar to hearing loss at old age. Moreover, the research also indicated that moderate background noise can interfere with the way infants learn languages. Hence, there is much fear about the long-lasting effects of audio equipment that are tuned up loud enough to block out the surrounding sound. Noise levels above 85 decibels lead to hearing loss over time. Therefore, such factors are expected to hinder the global home audio equipment market growth in the near future.
- Restrictions on the use of radio frequency spectrum in case of wireless audio devices are expected to restrain growth of the global home audio equipment market during the forecast period
There are certain regulations regarding the radio frequency spectrum in the case of wireless audio devices. Regulations could hinder the adoption of wireless audio devices for home use. Hence, these factors are expected to restrain growth of the global home audio equipment market during the forecast period.
