Market Size and Growth Drivers -

Global growth is steady: The core growth engine is true wireless headphones (TWS), which dominate the market due to their portability and intelligent functions.

Product Form Changes -

Wearing Method Diversification: The share of in-ear style has declined: In the first half of 2024, its proportion dropped to 30.8% (a year-on-year decrease of 6.4%)

Open-style/Semi-in-ear styles rise: The market size of OWS (open headphones) will exceed 27.14 billion yuan by 2031 (CAGR 7.8%), mainly due to health needs (no damage to the eardrum) and adaptation to sports scenarios.

Function Scenarios Segmentation -

Sports Specialization: The penetration rate of bone conduction technology has increased (Shao Yin's market share is 35%), and anti-noise algorithms have become standard features;

Assistive Hearing Integration: Samsung Galaxy Buds, AirPods Pro have added environmental sound enhancement functions, supporting 20 decibel hearing compensation.

Risks and Challenges -

Policy Compliance: The EU ERP new regulations require headphones to have a battery life of ≥ 8 hours, increasing production costs by 10%-15%;

Upstream Constraints: The production capacity of advanced process chips below 5nm is tight, and the shortage rate may reach 25% in 2025;

Homogenization Competition: The mid-to-low-end market is in a parameter competition, weakening brand premium capabilities.

In the next five years, the earbud market will present three main lines:

Technology: MEMS + AI chips reconfigure the acoustic architecture, and health functions become the second growth curve;

Scenarios: Specialized forms (OWS, bone conduction) are created for sports/office/assistive hearing needs;

Pattern: Headline brands monopolize high-end innovation, while emerging enterprises rely on vertical markets and supply chain efficiency.
