Market Share by Type
In-ear wireless headphones account for a sizable share of wireless headphone market by type as they are the smallest in size making them fit perfectly in the ear canal. They are cost-effective, portable, and their smaller size makes them easier to wear and carry around without any hassle. Over-ear headphones are the largest in size and offer the most comfort to the users with their well-padded cushioning and are often preferred by users seeking noise cancellation wireless headphones. However, even with the growing production of over-ear headphones, many people still prefer listening with in-ear wireless headphones, particularly while on-the-go.
Market Share by Technology
Bluetooth wireless headphones, by technology, occupy a significant share of the wireless headphone market. They support headset connectivity to one electronic device at a time, but their larger production and affordability makes them a popular option among users. Bluetooth wireless headphones also have long battery life with lower power consumption; thus, they are a preferred option for extended use. Due to the extensive penetration of Bluetooth technology across devices and regions, there is a greater demand for wireless headphones with Bluetooth technology because of their ease of connectivity. Meanwhile, infrared (IR) wireless headphones are faster than Bluetooth and radio frequency, as a result of which their popularity is anticipated to increase in the coming years.
