The string instruments market, valued at USD 3,553.17 million in 2017, experienced continuous growth until 2021. It comprises electric and acoustic stringed instruments. The acoustic sub-segment has driven growth due to its availability and affordability, thriving in emerging markets like Brazil, India, China, and Taiwan. Developed countries like the US and UK see stagnation in the acoustic market but growth in the electric guitar sub-segment, fueled by consumer interest, particularly from rock bands and music enthusiasts. Acoustic instruments are preferred by beginners, while the ease of learning acoustic instruments makes transitioning to electronic instruments smoother for proficient players. The electric guitar sub-segment is anticipated to witness significant growth, driven by increasing consumer interest and the rise of music bands and crews touring globally, fueled by the growing audience base and accessibility through the Internet and smartphones.
The musical instrument market is experiencing growth, driven by the increasing popularity of online stores. In recent years, many traditional retailers have launched online platforms to meet the rising demand for musical instruments. This shift allows suppliers to reach customers conveniently and cost-effectively through online retail. The ease of access and a growing preference for purchasing musical instruments online are expected to boost online sales. Stationary business models, like musical instrument stores, are also expanding their presence in the market.
Online channels such as Musician Friend, Furtadosonline.com, BAJAOO.COM, Gear4music, Gibson Brands, Dawsons Music, GUITARGUITAR, S and T Audio, and Austin Bazaar Music are gaining traction. Notably, sales of musical instruments on platforms like Amazon.com and eBay.com have seen significant increases. The rising popularity of online musical instrument stores is poised to offer substantial growth opportunities in the forecast period.
The widespread use of mobile devices poses a challenge to the musical instrument market. Mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, are pivotal in music production, education, and live performances. Production apps democratize music creation, making it accessible without expensive equipment. Mobile devices are vital for music education, offering interactive tutorials globally. In live performances, they connect musicians with fans through social media and streaming services. As technology advances, the impact of mobile devices on the market is expected to hinder growth in the forecast period.
