Futuresource Professional Audio Streamlined Monthly Tracker

As volatility, tariffs and supply chain disruptions reshape the pro audio landscape, we’ve launched a streamlined monthly market tracker. This provides rapid, high-level insight into global market performance, with reduced data submission complexity for vendors. 

The new service delivers monthly reporting across major product categories, supporting audio manufacturers and investors with a fast, accurate reading of global performance, without requiring sensitive model-level data. 

With a growing participant base and broad category coverage, the tracker offers direction, benchmarking and strategic visibility in a fast-moving market. 

In today’s professional audio environment, vendor priorities are shifting. The ability to respond quickly to market dynamics, without being overwhelmed by complex reporting, has become a competitive advantage. 

That’s why this tracker is designed for speed and accessibility. With broad category shipment data, minimal onboarding friction and clear visual dashboards, participants can:
