Current Market Trends
The worldwide office headset market has settled back into a rhythm of stable growth after extremely high levels of pandemic-driven demand. As the pandemic took hold, companies and employees were buying any available headsets. With supply bottlenecks, component shortages and low product availability, people were responding quickly to an immediate need, with little thought for functionality or features.
However, as remote collaboration became the norm, a shift began to take place. Now, there is a greater understanding of technical requirements, and a move towards product upgrades.
Bluetooth headsets began to play a central role in shaping the landscape from 2021, widening their appeal, increasing market share and displacing legacy technologies like RJ9 connectivity. This was primarily due to a fundamental shift in the call centre industry, where homeworking greatly reduced the demand for analogue products.
Video conferencing technologies in professional environments is becoming a key foundation for continued headset growth. Moving forward, Futuresource expects market expansion to continue throughout the forecast period, culminating in a global market value of more than $2.9 billion by 2026.
