Several notable trends are reshaping the active speaker industry landscape. The demand for wireless and Bluetooth-enabled speakers is influenced by consumer preferences for convenience and flexibility. There is a growing emphasis on smart home integration, with active speakers that support voice control becoming increasingly popular. Another significant trend is the increasing use of active speakers in commercial settings, such as restaurants, retail stores, and corporate offices, where high-quality audio is required to create immersive environments.
For instance, in February 2023, Deezer announced a long-term partnership with Sonos to power the brand's streaming radio service, Sonos Radio, and its subscription service, Sonos Radio HD, delivering an expansive catalog of music curated for customers. The collaboration aligns with Deezer's strategy of focusing on partnership-led expansion to deliver growth opportunities in the U.S. and other markets globally.
Technological advancements in audio processing and design are resulting in the development of smaller and more energy-efficient speaker solutions. The trend toward sustainability is influencing product development, with manufacturers emphasizing environment-friendly materials and energy-efficient manufacturing processes.
