Surprising New Study Shows 66% Of U.S. Streams Music, Amazon #1 Paid Music Service

Increasing usage of audio services will boost interest and adoption in connected audio devices and products, according to Parks Associates analysts.

"Advances in wireless streaming technology and a resurgence of interest in hi-resolution audio will stimulate consumer demand for Internet-connected audio devices," said Brad Russell, Research Analyst, Parks Associates. "Wireless speakers, multiroom audio systems, and soundbars constitute a growing home audio segment, which is offsetting declining sales in home theater and traditional audio components. Together, these three devices will generate $26 billion annually in global sales in 2020."
