The global audio visual hardware market size is expected to reach USD 389.21 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 6.1% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rapid advancements in display technologies have led to the development of high-resolution screens, such as 4K and 8K displays, in the market. These displays offer significantly more pixels per inch, resulting in clearer, sharper, and more detailed images. In addition, the incorporation of High Dynamic Range (HDR) technology enhances contrast and color accuracy, providing a more lifelike visual experience. Faster refresh rates contribute to smoother motion handling, crucial for applications, such as gaming and video playback. These developments collectively contribute to the production of immersive audio visual (AV) system, meeting the rising expectations of consumers who demand superior image quality for various entertainment and professional purposes.
Audiophiles seeking exceptional sound quality are the primary consumers of amplifiers that offer high-fidelity audio experiences. To cater to this demand, manufacturers are designing amplifiers with features, such as high-power output and advanced Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs). For instance, in February 2022, Marantz introduced the Model 40n streaming amplifier, demonstrating the growing emphasis on audiophile-grade performance within the amplifier segment. The Model 40n aligns with this trend by boasting features, such as high-current design and advanced digital-to-analog conversion (DAC) technology, delivers 70 watts per channel, and prioritizes high-fidelity sound reproduction. The ongoing convergence of wireless technologies with emerging smart technologies, such as voice assistants and smart home devices, is a key trend observed in the market.
This allows for seamless integration and control of AV equipment using voice commands or automation routines, further enhancing user convenience. The growing popularity of wireless AV devices has led to the introduction of several new products from leading vendors in recent years. For instance, in February 2023, LG Electronics unveiled its 2023 LG Soundbar series in India, which includes the flagship model S95QR. This all-in-one soundbar boasts a 9.1.5 channel system with wireless rear speakers, creating an immersive and dynamic soundscape. It features a powerful output of 810W and five up-firing channels, three built into the soundbar and two in the rear speakers. The market in North America is shifting significantly toward hybrid work solutions, owing to the continued move to remote & hybrid work patterns.
Unified Communications and Collaboration (UC&C) solutions are gaining popularity, providing integrated communication and collaboration tools to help streamline operations in distant work environments. Immersive technologies like virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are increasingly gaining popularity, notably in gaming, entertainment, and business applications. Furthermore, digital signage solutions are becoming increasingly important for companies looking to improve customer engagement and communication in the retail, hospitality, and transportation industries. Overall, the North America regional market is distinguished by innovation, adaptation to changing work dynamics, and a focus on improving user experiences in a variety of industries.
