The global market for Earbuds was estimated to be worth US$ 42351 million in 2024 and is forecast to a readjusted size of US$ 75131 million by 2031 with a CAGR of 8.5% during the forecast period 2025-2031.
This report provides a comprehensive assessment of recent tariff adjustments and international strategic countermeasures on Earbuds cross-border industrial footprints, capital allocation patterns, regional economic interdependencies, and supply chain reconfigurations.
Earbuds are a type of lightweight, compact headphones designed to rest loosely at the entrance of the ear canal without forming an acoustic seal.
Market Size and Growth Drivers
Global growth is steady: The core growth engine is true wireless headphones (TWS), which dominate the market due to their portability and intelligent functions.
Product Form Changes
Wearing Method Diversification: The share of in-ear style has declined: In the first half of 2024, its proportion dropped to 30.8% (a year-on-year decrease of 6.4%)
Open-style/Semi-in-ear styles rise: The market size of OWS (open headphones) will exceed 27.14 billion yuan by 2031 (CAGR 7.8%), mainly due to health needs (no damage to the eardrum) and adaptation to sports scenarios.
Function Scenarios Segmentation
Sports Specialization: The penetration rate of bone conduction technology has increased (Shao Yin's market share is 35%), and anti-noise algorithms have become standard features;
Assistive Hearing Integration: Samsung Galaxy Buds, AirPods Pro have added environmental sound enhancement functions, supporting 20 decibel hearing compensation.
Risks and Challenges
Policy Compliance: The EU ERP new regulations require headphones to have a battery life of ≥ 8 hours, increasing production costs by 10%-15%;
Upstream Constraints: The production capacity of advanced process chips below 5nm is tight, and the shortage rate may reach 25% in 2025;
Homogenization Competition: The mid-to-low-end market is in a parameter competition, weakening brand premium capabilities.
In the next five years, the earbud market will present three main lines:
Technology: MEMS + AI chips reconfigure the acoustic architecture, and health functions become the second growth curve;
Scenarios: Specialized forms (OWS, bone conduction) are created for sports/office/assistive hearing needs;
Pattern: Headline brands monopolize high-end innovation, while emerging enterprises rely on vertical markets and supply chain efficiency.
