Affordability Issue of High-definition Audio Products Anticipated to Hamper the Growth of the Market

  • One of the key factors hampering the growth of the high-definition audio products market is its affordability. These products are expensive in nature owing to their application, primarily in the niche market. File size is another concern. Unlike a normal audio file, a high resolution audio file can be typically tens of megabytes in terms of size which quickly eats up the storage of the device. Added to this, numerous high-resolution audio file formats are available to choose from, all of which have their own compatibility requirements. All these factors restrain the growth of the high-definition audio products market.

Increasing demand for all surround systems and other audio devices to offer attractive opportunities for the growth of the high-definition audio products market

  • Increasing demand for sound bars and home theater systems in emerging economies could create lucrative opportunities for the growth of high definition audio products. Its commercial application especially in offices as well as in recreational spaces could also help in creating greater traction for the growth of the high-definition audio products market.
