Demand for headphones in the UK is expected to continue growing over the forecast period, albeit at a marginally slower rate compared to the review period. This is due to increasing maturity in the local market as a rising number of consumers invest in these products, thereby slowing stronger growth potential.
The premiumisation trend is expected to continue influencing the category’s development and consumers’ purchasing decisions over the forecast period. Local consumers have already proven willing to pay a premium price for headphones that are easy to use and convenient to pair with specific smartphone brands, while also delivering high-end features such as adaptive sound, water resistance, more durable products with a longer battery life as well as active noise cancellation.
E-commerce is expected to remain the dominant distribution channel for headphones in the UK over the forecast period. Despite losing some ground post-pandemic as restrictions eased and consumers shifted back to store-based channels such as appliances and electronics specialists, e-commerce remains the most popular destination for these smaller items.
