Q. What is the future of the Consumer Electronics Market in India?

AK – While markets for consumer electronics have been volatile in the past few years, the wireless audio devices market has remained resilient, with a tendency to grow. The demand for wireless audio devices began to rise again in the second half of 2020 after the opening up of the economy and access to online streaming services such as Amazon and Netflix. It was made possible by an increase in the availability of data storage on laptops, smartphones, and tablets — leading to readily available entertainment at the fingertips. The growing adoption of technology and demand for products is increasing vendors in the market to develop products backed with smart and advanced features.
