Market Potential

Celebrity Endorsements Help Boost Sales of Stereo Headphones.

Headphones have reached the status of “personal fashion accessory” making them a much higher theft target. Sales of traditional headphones exploded to $1.2 billion in 2011, up 42% from the previous year. Most of this growth can be attributed to the recent influx of celebrity-endorsed products such as Beats by Dr. Dre, most costing well in excess of $100 per unit. Sales of headphones costing over $100 grew from 2 percent of the headphone market in 2009 to 3.5 percent of the market in 2010. The top five headphones brands in terms of sales were Monster, Sony, Bose, Skullcandy and Philips.
