Automotive Subwoofers Market

Automotive Sub Woofers: Introduction

• The subwoofer is the bass speaker system that produces lower sound frequencies. The prime function of the subwoofer is to produce low sound within 10 Hz to 200Hz. The automotive audio system has been developing at the same pace as the development of automobiles. In the car audio system, the speaker and subwoofer design appears the same; however, they both have significantly different functionality. In the vehicle audio system, the woofer is used for low sound, midrange used for sound medium production, and tweeter helps produce high sound output. The complete sound provides sound out range within 20 kHz - 29 kHz. The subwoofer are meant to take up low frequency tones below the speaker and the sound becomes softer.
• US-based Dolby and Swedish digital audio specialist Dirac are looking to expand their immersive in-car audio resolution to Europe-based and North America-based automakers after gaining success with China-based startup Nio.

Key Drivers of Global Automotive Subwoofers Market:

• The benefit of a subwoofer in terms of better bass response in the car entertainment feature is driving the market for automotive subwoofers
• Increased need for car infotainment coupled with rising sales of passenger and commercial vehicles is anticipated to propel the automotive subwoofer market across the globe
• The subwoofer offers greater sound clarity, and it is helpful in reduction of distortion that cancels the need for acoustics in car speakers, which in turn drives the automotive subwoofer market. Subwoofers are capable of taking load from small speakers and sound longer than spectrum speakers.
• Advancements in vehicle multimedia coupled with smartphone connectivity and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology is driving the global automotive subwoofers market
• Rise in disposable income of consumers and rapidly changing consumer lifestyles are supporting investments in high-quality sound systems in passenger vehicles. An increase in the sale of passenger cars across the globe is attracting new manufacturers to the market.

Restraints of Global Automotive Subwoofers Market:

• Larger subwoofers provide much better sound output; however, they require more space and hence, car speakers are smaller. Furthermore, adding larger subwoofer can add to the cost of the vehicle, which can be a key factor restraining the automotive subwoofers market. The cost of the vehicle increases due to integration of an expensive audio system. These systems are integrated with advanced components including speakers, sensors, and LED touch display, which increase the overall equipment purchasing cost.

Opportunities in Global Automotive Subwoofers Market:

• Increasing sales of passenger and commercial vehicles and growing demand from millennial population are likely to provide significant opportunities for the automotive subwoofer market across the globe.
• Flourishing in-vehicle sound acoustic technologies and major investments by OEMs, such as LG, Sony and Continental, are expected to fuel the automotive subwoofers market during the forecast period. Increased installation of smart speakers in SUVs and sedans is also likely to propel the automotive speaker market across the globe.

Global Automotive Subwoofers Market: Regional Outlook

• North America and Europe are projected to hold a significant share of the global automotive subwoofers market. High demand for premium and luxury cars is estimated to drive the demand for subwoofers in the region. Partnerships among prominent players and larger investment by OEMs to improve in-vehicle acoustics are likely to drive the automotive subwoofers market in the respective regions. The automotive subwoofers market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace due to high automotive production and sales activities in China, Japan, South Korea, and India. Significant rise in sales of electric vehicles after the pandemic in APAC and Europe is also projected to fuel the global automotive subwoofers market.
