Developing Countries Turning into ‘Largest Sales Hub’
The sales of mobile phones and smartphones have grown significantly across the world since the past few years, especially in developing countries such as India, China, Brazil, and Mexico. Moreover, the increasing trend of mobile shopping, E-banking, and bringing your own device (BYOD) is driving the global demand for smartphones and tablets, which is, in turn, boosting the technologically advanced devices, such as Wi-Fi enabled devices, in the earphones and headphones market.
The increasing migration of the rural population to cities, especially across developing countries such as India, China, Brazil, Mexico, and Indonesia, has boosted the adoption of low- or medium-price earphones & headphones. Europe will however remain the leading market for earphone and headphone in the near future, according to FMI’s findings.
In the past decade, there was an upsurge in urbanisation, which resulted in an increase in the disposable income of the population that migrated to urban areas. Growth in the disposable income of the people has boosted the adoption of technologically advanced products worldwide, which include smart devices, smartphones, tablets, and advanced wireless earphones. This trend has been majorly observed in developing countries, such as India, China, Brazil, Mexico, and Indonesia. This has resulted in an increase in the adoption of earphones and headphones in these countries.
Strengthening the distribution channel and expanding advertising platforms for earphones and headphones is also contributing to the development of the global market for earphones and headphones. The music industry as a whole is estimated to contribute to the growing GDP and per capita revenue of various nations. Thus, continuous growth in the music industry and the music streaming market is boosting the adoption of accessories for music systems, which include earphones, headphones, and intelligent speakers.

Strengthening the distribution channel and expanding marketing platforms for various items also contributes to the development of the global market for earphones and headphones.
