The headsets segment to lead the trail by 2026-

Based on product, the headsets segment contributed to more than two-thirds of the global hearables market in 2018, and is expected to retain its dominance till 2026. This is attributed to increase in penetration of infotainment devices, rapid technological advancements, and surge in need for mobility services. The earbuds segment, on the other hand, would grow at the fastest CAGR of 29.5% during 2019–2026, owing to widespread availability of these average cost devices on online and offline retail stores.

The on-ear segment held the largest share in 2018-

Based on type, the on-ear segment held the major share in 2018, generating nearly half of the global hearables market. On-ear headphones are more effective in external noise cancellation as compared to other types of headphones. Also, these headphones are more portable as compared to over ear headphones which, in turn, have boosted the growth of the segment. At the same time, the over-ear segment would register the fastest CAGR of 19.9% during the study period. This is due to their thick headbands and large ear cups that completely encompass the ears.
