The global home audio market declined by almost 10% in Q4 2025 year on year, driven by a sharp contraction in wireless speakers. The category fell by almost 10%, with Wi-Fi speakers experiencing the steepest drop, while Bluetooth speakers declined the least. Bluetooth performance softened compared with earlier quarters as the market normalised following a temporary uplift in vendor stock building ahead of anticipated tariffs. Soundbars also fell year on year in Q4 2025.
