Saudi Arabia Headphones Market Growth

The gaming industry of Saudi Arabia is expected to contribute $13.3 billion to its economic growth by 2030. 58% of its population (nearly 21 million people) actively play online games. A major proportion of gamers in Saudi Arabia are young children, and to safeguard them from online threats and cyberbullying, companies are focusing on the development of smart headphones, which modify children’s audio and mask their age, thereby making it difficult for malicious users to track vulnerable people. Such headphones have garnered great appeal among users, and they are expected to enjoy sustained demand over the forecast period.

The number of internet users in Saudi Arabia is expected to cross 33.6 million by the end of 2024. Nearly 72% of its population has a banking account and smartphone penetration rates stand at 97%. In 2020, online distribution channels accounted for nearly 6% of overall retail sales. Hence, high smartphone penetration rates and internet accessibility are favouring the sales of headphones.

Increasing collaboration between scientific researchers and headphone manufacturers has led to the development of semantic hearing systems that allow individuals to choose the sounds they prefer to hear through their headphones via a connected device such as a smartphone. This is made possible through deep learning algorithms that can differentiate between different sounds like birdsongs, sirens, or a crying baby.
