The increasing demand for high-quality audio solutions and smart audio/video devices is driving the market studied.

• A soundbar is a single, elongated, slimline speaker system with multiple discrete speakers. It often comes with a broad and low enclosure, like a long narrow rectangle. These devices are designed for acoustic reasons and to make them easily mountable above or below display devices like televisions.
• Soundbars have an inbuilt subwoofer to generate a high-quality sound with a surround sound effect, especially some high-end soundbars, apart from multiple speakers inside the cabinet. Soundbars are a cost-effective alternative to stereo sound systems that drastically improve the audio quality in the user's living room, meeting/conference room, or home theater.
• Smart consumer products have witnessed significant growth in demand in recent years, including smart televisions and other home devices. Rapid technological advancement, growing internet penetration, digital transformation of the broadcasting industry, and declining product prices are among the major factors driving the growth of the smart home devices industry. Soundbars are increasingly being used with these devices to enhance the audio experience, boosting the demand for the market studied.
• The audio systems market is highly competitive due to multiple vendors offering budget speaker systems that are comparatively lower priced than soundbars. These speakers are top-rated in emerging economies where a significant share of the population has budget constraints and cannot afford a soundbar system.
• The COVID-19 pandemic had a mixed impact on the growth of the soundbars market. While the pandemic significantly drove the demand for soundbars used in household applications, the commercial segment witnessed a significant reduction in demand as the widespread lockdown imposed across various countries resulted in the cancellation of music concerts and other public events where soundbars are used.
