PROSPECTS

Launch of Google Home and Google Home Mini with Norwegian language support broadens appeal of wireless speakers

The already high penetration rate of smartphones in Norway and the wide use of music streaming apps, especially Spotify from neighbouring Sweden, caused the sales growth of wireless speakers to exceed that of smartphones in 2019. Norwegians are increasingly replacing media player docks with wireless speakers, which allow the use of the smartphone for other purposes while streaming music.

Popularity of smartphones leads to ongoing switch from portable players

Smartphone ownership negates the need to purchase a separate portable media players. As such, smartphones are making MP3 players, portable CD players, portable minidisc players and portable radios obsolete.

Paper books and digital audio books preferred over e-readers

Tablets and larger screen smartphones are increasingly being used as substitutes for e-readers. Moreover, hectic, on-the-go lifestyles mean digital audio books are often preferred over e-books that have to be read.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Alphabet extends lead in 2019 thanks to launch of Google Home

Alphabet Inc extended its lead in this category following the extremely successful launch of Google Home and Google Home Mini in smart wireless speakers with Norwegian language support in October 2018. These launches have introduced a larger share of households to wireless speakers and the benefits and possibilities offered by voice control.

Google Home deprives local players of opportunities

Compatibility problems and a lack of availability of the whole experience offered by products such as Alexa or Google Home previously hindered their development in Norway. However, in response to consumer interest in these types of devices, the launch of Google Home and Google Home Mini with Norwegian language support in October 2018 is likely to close the gap local players could have filled through systems compatible with local consumers’ needs.

Amazon increasingly challenged by PocketBook

Low volume sales and a year-on-year decreasing trend for e-readers is discouraging entry to the category and maintaining consolidation. In 2019, Kindle (Amazon) remained the leader in e-readers.
