Wireless microphones are used for commentary and announcement purposes. The growing use of these products in podcasting, public speaking, entertainment, and television broadcasting expected to foster the demand for wireless devices over the next eight years. Moreover, increased sports events across various regions have encouraged global industry growth. The increase in sponsorships investments in sports activities is expected to propel the demand for wireless microphones. Moreover, it intrigues market participants to develop wireless products for sports venues such as stadiums and indoor arenas.
Unlike wired microphones, these devices offer varied advantages, such as hands-free operations that enable mobility and comfort. Using these products in government infrastructure for communication applications is expected to propel the industry growth over the forecast period. New products developed by companies are efficient in terms of signal robustness and also eliminate issues such as proximity effect, thus enabling its use in applications including podcasting, recording, and live audio streaming.
The handheld segment dominated the wireless microphone market with a revenue of USD 1.52 billion in 2023. Handheld devices are used across various applications, including music events, public speaking events, and lectures, owing to their reliability and lower cost than other products.
The clip-on segment is expected to witness the fastest growth at a CAGR of 7.3% during the forecast period. The growth is attributed to the light weight of clip-on microphones that enable portability. Moreover, these devices allow users to keep their hands free while delivering a speech or at public events. The growth in public speaking events is expected to stimulate the demand for clip-on devices.
Corporate is the largest end-use segment, valued at USD 812.0 million in 2023. The growing need for wireless equipment for communication purposes has enabled its usage in corporate enterprises. The trend is witnessed in developing regions such as Asia Pacific and Latin America, where companies are increasingly operating globally, which requires them to use these products for internal and external communications.
Sporting events is the fastest-growing segment, registering a CAGR of 8.2% over the forecast period. The growth in sports events has surged the demand for microphone products for announcements, commentary, and speech purposes. For instance, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is expected to add new sports, such as baseball, skateboarding, sports climbing, and surfing, to the Olympic Games, which will be organized in Tokyo in 2020. It, consequently, is expected to foster the demand for wireless devices in the region.
The radio frequency channel segment accounted for the largest revenue share of 63.2% in 2023. The radio frequency channel enables a wide selection of channels that can be used depending on the application. Moreover, the changing spectrum regulations have enabled these products to use RF bands for efficient signal broadcasting.
The radio frequency band segment is expected to experience rapid growth with a CAGR of 7.9% from 2024 to 2033. Multichannel radio frequency equipment allows users to switch frequencies according to the transmission strength, making broadcasting operations more reliable and preventing signal loss. Due to enforced regulations, reducing the 600 MHz frequency band has increased the use of other frequency bands, such as 721 MHz - 750 MHz, for RF signal transmission applications.
Asia Pacific is the fastest-growing regional market, registering a CAGR of 8.9% from 2024 to 2033. The region's growing media and sports industry is expected to propel the industry growth. Furthermore, the increasing trend of video logging in the region has enabled the adoption of RF-enabled products for effective sound recording. Latin America is expected to encourage lucrative market growth owing to the developing media industry in the region.
North America is the largest regional market, with a market value of USD 1.12 billion in 2023, followed by Europe, owing to key industry players such as Shure Incorporated and Sennheiser Electronic GmbH & Co. based in this region. Moreover, products introduced by industry players are initially adopted by the local market, enabling the North American region to account for the largest industry share in revenue.
