PROSPECTS

Strong potential for smart speakers, although privacy concerns remain

The main challenge and, at the same time, the most important innovative direction for wireless speakers, has turned out to be the development of the smart house, rather than listening to music. Italian consumers have shown an interest in smart functions even more than in audio features.

Launches of smart speakers boost sales of wireless speakers

Wireless speakers experienced amongst the strongest innovations within consumer electronics in recent years, and thus saw one of the strongest retail volume growth rates in 2019. Google Home and Google Home Mini were launched in Italy in March 2018, which integrate Google Assistant.

Teachers and the education system are interesting targets for e-readers

Italian users of e-readers are no longer early adopters, as e-readers were no longer perceived as a novelty in 2019. The replacement cycle for e-readers is lengthening, which is also hampering retail volume growth.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Samsung maintains its lead in portable players due to strength in wireless speakers

Samsung Electronics continued to lead overall portable players in retail volume terms in 2019, as it remained the leading player in the rapidly expanding category of wireless speakers, due to its efforts in terms of innovation and the launch of smart speakers. Samsung has created great expectations in portable players in Italy by launching its Bixby speaker.

Amazon widens its presence in Italy with more warehousing and distribution centres

Amazon continues to establish its presence in Italy, by opening more warehousing and distribution centres. The online pure player is the preferred destination for consumers, and its offer includes music and video streaming, as well as Audible books.

Prices rise as consumers move to high-end products

The average unit price of wireless speakers is increasing, as consumers are looking for higher-end and high- performance products. Consequently, premium brands such as Bose ensure that all new product developments are already integrated with Alexa, such as the new speaker and sound bars (Bose Home Speaker 500 and the soundbars 700 and 500) launched in 2018, or that they have a high-quality Bluetooth connection, such as Soundlink Evolve, which is one of the most sought-after products on Amazon.
