Growth Opportunities in the Global Professional Headsets Market, Forecast to 2030

The Professional Headset Vendors Search for New Growth Opportunities as Market Transitions to Slow Growth

The global professional headsets market is estimated to have reached $1.82 billion by the end of 2023, reflecting a decline of 13.2 percent over 2022 in terms of revenue. However, the unit shipment decline was much lesser than revenue, driven by relatively lower decline in unit shipment in PC USB and UCC segment.

Headsets demand in 2023 was impacted by elevate demand for Q1 2022, caused by backlog in 2021. It is absence of such a quarter in 2023 meant the market declined in 2023. The dip was also fueled by headsets price increase as brought in by leading vendors such as GN Audio and HP|Poly at the start of 2023.

The cordless headsets market declined in revenue for the first time in last four years. The decline was broadbase with high double digit decline in Cordless DECT headset segment and single digit decline in cordless Bluetooth headset segment. However, over-the-ear stereo headband, and true wireless categories segments grew in 2023.

However, the long term growth drivers such as use of software-based business communications and collaboration services will continue to drive growth during forecast period. We expect market to see slightly increase in average selling price, as the demand moves from wired to wireless and in anticipation of DECT headsets demand stabilizing from 2025 onwards. Growth is expected to come from PC USB and UCC headsets, cordless headsets, and headsets in office segments.

The future growth in headsets will also be influenced by expected new features such as dongle less Bluetooth, Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) in medium range headsets, AI-enabled noise-cancellation and speaker voice enhancements, and in general headsets that last longer on a single charge.
