Pro headset market making a lot of noise
Sales surge among remote workers.
Sales of professional headsets have surged to “unprecedented levels” in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Research firm Frost & Sullivan’s recent analysis, Growth Opportunities in the Global Professional Headset Market, predicts that the professional headset market will witness robust growth due to the increased popularity of cloud meeting services and remote working practices.
In 2020, the demand for professional PC USB and UCC headsets has surged to “unprecedented levels” to enhance software communications experiences.
The global professional headset market is expected to reach US$2.94 billion by 2026 from US$1.41 billion in 2019, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.1 per cent.
“The year 2020 will be marked by unprecedented growth of professional headsets due to the COVID-19 pandemic and work-from-home (WFH) requirements,” according Frost & Sullivan. “
To make the most of the growth opportunities, Frost & Sullivan said vendors should look to enhance their value proposition by:
- Partnering with leading and growing brands in the UCC provider space.
- Bundling headset solutions with other audio and video equipment for WFH individuals.
- Enhancing noise-cancelling technologies to improve the listening as well as the voice pick-up capability.
- Delivering consumer-like experiences with solutions that can be personalised and customised to each individual’s needs.
- Focusing on addressing the specific needs of different verticals and offer joint Device-as-a-service (DaaS) and Software-as-a-service (SaaS) deals to business customers.
