The sound reinforcement market size has grown steadily in recent years. It will grow from $8.53 billion in 2025 to $8.92 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to early adoption in live events and concerts, reliance on analog audio systems, growth in studio sound production, expansion of educational audio installations, increased demand in government communication systems.
The sound reinforcement market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $10.7 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising adoption of digital audio systems, expansion of corporate audio infrastructure, increasing deployment in hospitality and entertainment venues, advancement of wireless audio technologies, growing demand for high-fidelity sound reinforcement. Major trends in the forecast period include adoption of immersive audio enhancement systems, deployment of cloud-connected sound processing platforms, integration of IoT-enabled audio management solutions, advancement of AI-based real-time audio optimization, development of intelligent professional audio technologies.
The increasing consumer demand for live concerts and entertainment is expected to propel the growth of the sound reinforcement market. A live concert is a musical performance presented in front of an audience, and sound reinforcement systems are essential in such events to amplify and project audio clearly. For example, in October 2025, NIQ, a US-based consumer intelligence and retail measurement analytics company, reported that total consumer spending driven by live music reached a record $8.56 billion USD (£6.68bn), reflecting a 9.5% year-on-year increase. Therefore, the growing demand for live concerts and entertainment is driving the expansion of the sound reinforcement market.
Leading companies in the sound reinforcement market are introducing innovative products such as matrix array loudspeakers to advance sound control technology. A matrix array loudspeaker is a speaker system that uses multiple individual transducer elements arranged in a structured matrix to deliver precise and powerful sound output. For instance, in July 2023, HOLOPLOT, a Germany-based professional audio company, launched X2 - a compact matrix array loudspeaker system designed for speech-based and multi-content applications. Featuring 3D Audio-Beamforming and Wave Field Synthesis technologies, X2 provides unprecedented sound control across a wide range of environments. Its Matrix Array loudspeaker, Modul 30, integrates seamlessly with intelligent software optimization, and its durable engineering allows reliable performance even in challenging outdoor venues.
In July 2023, Providence Equity Partners, a US-based private equity firm, acquired a D&B Group company for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to strengthen Providence’s position in the professional audio market and support growth through innovation and strategic investment. The partnership capitalizes on rising demand for advanced audio, video, lighting, and media (AVLM) solutions within the live events sector. D&B Group is a US-based audiotechnik company specializing in high-quality sound reinforcement systems, including loudspeakers, amplifiers, and digital processing technologies for live performances.
