The growing popularity of streaming platforms is anticipated to boost the expansion of the soundbars market in the coming period. Streaming platforms are online services that allow users to instantly watch or listen to movies, shows, music, or videos without the need to download them. The surge in streaming platforms is driven by increasing consumer demand for on-demand, personalized entertainment available anytime and anywhere. Soundbars improve the streaming experience by providing high-quality, immersive audio, which enhances user engagement with content on these platforms. For instance, in July 2025, according to a report published by the Office of Communications (Ofcom), a UK-based government office, viewing of broadcasters’ content on BVoD platforms increased across all providers in 2024. Nearly one-quarter of Sky’s total viewing came from its streaming services, while 22% of the BBC’s audience watched via BBC iPlayer. Among young adults aged 16-24, half of their BBC viewing occurred on BBC iPlayer, marking the highest share of BVoD consumption among all broadcasters. Therefore, the rising popularity of streaming platforms is fueling growth in the soundbars market.
Key players in the soundbars market are concentrating on launching innovative products equipped with advanced features like artificial intelligence (AI) room calibration, designed to optimize sound output according to the room’s acoustics. AI room calibration technology automatically adjusts audio settings by analyzing the surrounding environment to deliver the best possible sound quality. For instance, in April 2024, LG Electronics Inc., a South Korea-based consumer electronics and home appliances firm, introduced the LG S95TR soundbar, which offers immersive 9.1.5-channel audio with Dolby Atmos support. The LG S95TR delivers 810W power through 17 speakers, including five up-firing drivers, supporting Dolby Atmos and DTS:X for an enriched 3D audio experience. It features AI Room Calibration Pro for precise sound tuning and WOW Orchestra technology to synchronize audio with LG televisions, providing users with an immersive home theater experience with minimal setup.
In May 2023, WiSA Technologies Inc., a US-based technology company, acquired Comhear Inc. for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, WiSA Technologies Inc. aims to strengthen its position in immersive wireless audio, integrate Comhear’s AI-enabled adaptive audio technology, and expand its product portfolio for home entertainment, gaming, retail, and location-based entertainment applications. Comhear Inc. is a US-based technology company specializing in AI-enabled adaptive audio solutions, including proprietary adaptive filtering and beam-steering systems for dynamic and personalized audio experiences.
