COVID-19 Impact Analysis

Wireless audio systems use wireless platforms that include radio frequency, Bluetooth, infrared, airplay, SKAA, and Wi-Fi for streaming music from audio enabled devices to wireless output systems. The spread of COVID-19 throughout the world has led to lockdowns that have forced people to stay in their homes. The rising number of people staying at home has accelerated the use of audio devices for entertainment. The confining of individuals to their homes has proven to be accountable for fueling demand for video streaming platforms like Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Hotstar. The increasing trend in live video streaming and video content consumption over the internet during the lockdown has raised the demand for audio devices. In addition, remote working, remote learning, and home workouts have increased the need for audio products.

However, COVID-19 pandemic has had a massive impact on the market for wireless audio devices. The spread of COVID-19 worldwide has had a major impact on the consumer electronics market. Precautionary measures taken by governments of different countries have led to a temporary suspension of businesses and have stopped the production of consumer electronics products such as smartphones and tablets. The global lockdown has reduced sales of technologically advanced smartphones and has led to a decrease in demand for wireless audio devices, including wireless headsets and headphones. Decreased production of wireless audio devices also affected product sales. The market has also been affected by disrupted supply chains and halted exports, as China is a center for raw materials and finished goods used in the manufacture of electronic products.
