1. Small size and convenient

A few days ago, when I stopped in the audio area in the appliance store, I was quite moved. Recalling a few years ago, the audio area of the home appliance store was so popular that different brands of audio products were competing. Now, the position of the audio area in the home appliance store is not only inconspicuous, but also has a small area and few varieties.

The mini-speaker hasn't got rid of the tepid fate of the audio market, and the product has little interest. In the context of the continued downturn in China's audio market, mini-speakers cannot stand alone. In 2007, both sales volume and sales declined, which in turn caused some brands to fade out, and the brand landscape changed. Where is the "Tomorrow" of the mini speaker?

Compared with domestic and foreign markets

According to the survey results of China Electronic Video Industry Association, the total output of China's mini audio and home theater in 2007 was 67.91 million units, of which domestic sales were 6.72 million units; professional audio production was 28.57 million units, of which domestic sales were 2.34 million units. According to the data survey of Zhongyikang from January to October 2007, compared with 2006, domestic mini-speakers showed a downward trend. Its retail volume reached 187,000 units, a year-on-year decrease of 14.85%. %.

Because mini-audio does not have an advantage over similar products in terms of product price, China's mini-audio market has not changed much and has basically maintained a stable situation.

"Overseas, the mini-sound market is very large, but due to the Chinese usage habits, the product has been slow to be popularized on a large scale." Consumers like to play music at home, coupled with the large housing area, some rooms need to be equipped with mini-stereo.

Data show that the penetration rate of home mini audio in Europe and the United States has reached more than 70%, and the "2004-2006 China Urban Home Theater Market Research and Consulting Report" shows that the domestic urban residents have only 2.2% of the mini audio.

In addition to consumption habits, some people in the industry believe that today, when digital products are popular, especially when digital audio equipment such as MP3 is abandoning traditional CDs, when computers and laptops with CDs and MP3 music are gradually popular, Later, it is not surprising that the mini-sound market has shrunk even when the TV can also connect to a flash drive to play music.

At the same time, compared with the continuous development of digital products, the upgrading of mini audio products is also very slow. Some models three or four years ago can still be seen in the market, such as Onkyo's CS-155A and other products. Even with the launch of new products, there are very few selling points.

Fade out and fake

According to "Electrical Appliances" reporters, as the mini audio market has not improved much, some brands have withdrawn or reduced market shipments. Among them, foreign brands are particularly prominent, especially JVC, which has been so popular in the mini audio market. I can hardly see JVC products in many home appliance stores in Beijing. The reporter learned from JVC that at this stage JVC has only a few mini audio products on the market, and its promotion is very small. Its energy is mainly concentrated on video recorders.

In addition, according to the reporter of "Electrical Appliances", the domestic manufacturer Xinke, which had been involved in mini-speakers a few years ago, also withdrew from this market. The relevant person in charge of the company said that the main reason was the high cost.

From the perspective of the brand sales volume of mini-monitors monitored by Zhongyikang from January to October 2007, the top three brands have almost half of the market share, while the other brands have a relatively balanced market share. The brands are Qisheng, Philips, Shanshui, Aoke, Malata, JVC, Onkyo, Sanyo, Huge, "NEC", while Panasonic, Sony, Pioneer, BBK, and Xinke all fell outside the top 10.

At the same time, only the top ten brands Malata and "NEC" have shown a 100% increase in retail volume and retail sales. Onkyo has slightly increased, and other brands have shown a downward trend year-on-year. Among them, Olek and Sanyo have the most obvious year-on-year downward trend, and both have almost halved year-on-year in terms of retail sales and retail sales.

At the same time that some brands withdrew from the mini-audio industry due to the shrinking market, the reporter of "Electrical Appliances" learned that there was a serious problem of counterfeit and shoddy products in this market. The Guangdong Provincial Administration for Industry and Commerce has conducted random inspections on the sale of miniature mini-speakers in the third and fourth quarters of 2006 in the province, which revealed that the quality of Sony, "NEC" and other brand products was unqualified. Impersonation incidents were triggered.

"NEC" then issued a statement about the unqualified sampling of Guangdong "NEC Mini Audio"-the mini audio with NEC label (model: NDV-608) produced by Guangzhou Arden Electronics Co., Ltd. As for the matter, the company solemnly declares that the NEC Group has never produced or sold the mini audio product in China.

At the same time, the reporter also learned from people who understand the matter that it is almost certain that all NEC mini-speakers seen in the Chinese market are fake. Especially in some cities in southern China, there are counterfeit Sony and other brands of mini speakers.

In addition, the reporter of "Electrical Appliances" also saw several "NEC" mini audio products in Suning Appliance's Beijing Lenovo Bridge store. When the reporter called Suning Appliance on the grounds of "purchased a 'NEC' mini speaker and needed repairs", the relevant personnel of Suning Appliance told the reporter that the product was covered by the manufacturer's warranty and gave a repair phone. The reporter also obtained the contact information of the product distributor from the maintenance department. When the reporter asked the dealer where to buy "NEC" mini-speakers in Beijing, the dealer stated that it was sold in Beijing's Suning, Gome and Dazhong.

Many people in the industry told reporters that counterfeit and shoddy products have appeared on formal channels such as the home appliance chain, which will have a great adverse impact on the industry and the market prospects are worrying.

Still has market potential

As the living area of Chinese people becomes larger and larger, some consumers with "free money" will increasingly prefer simple, practical, and stylish mini speakers. The market for mini speakers is promising.

In addition, a marketing manager of Shanshui Audio believes that mini audio has covered the functions of DVD players. In the first-tier cities, consumers will generate huge sales in the update of disc players, and with the improvement of living standards, the demand in the second-, third-, and fourth-tier markets will further increase.

The industry analysis shows that during 2008, with the approach of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the sales of mini-speakers will also be hot, and various manufacturers have begun to attach importance to the mini-sound market in 2008. As of December 11, 2007, Sony Corporation announced that it will list three mini audio products in China. According to the reporter, JVC will also launch new mini-audio products in China in mid-2008. In addition, the Japanese TEAC brand advertised with a stylish appearance will also vigorously promote its products during May Day 2008.

In addition, in terms of product technology, there have also been some changes in the mini speaker. According to the data from January to October of 2007, the retail volume of DVD mini speakers reached 127,200 units, a year-on-year increase of 17.7%; the retail sales reached 150 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 20.6%. The CD-type and VCD and mini-audio with decks have shown a rapid decline, especially the retail volume of CD-type and mini-audios with decks has dropped by more than 50% year-on-year, which has almost been eliminated by the market.

In addition, some new mini speakers not only have traditional playback functions, but also have the ability to connect with computers, mobile phones, and even the Internet.

According to Zhang Yafeng, Shanshui introduced the MC-1204DH multi-functional mini speaker. The biggest feature of this product is that it has a 40G hard disk that can hold a large number of audio and video files. Through its USB interface, the audio and video files in the computer can be shared with this mini-speaker, and the network download file is also shared.

It is reported that Sony has also launched a new CMT-DH5BT mini speaker. This product has a built-in Bluetooth function. Through wireless Bluetooth connection, the CMT-DH5BT can seamlessly connect with other Bluetooth-capable fashion audio and video equipment to easily achieve wireless music sharing. . Sony also introduced two other mini speakers with USB connection at the same time

First: Networking

Add wifi function to achieve wireless connection with the Internet.

Second: software intelligence

With operating system, pre-installed professional software, such as learning machine, dictionary function, etc.

Third: Strengthen the radio function

The radio function is a cheap function that can be easily enhanced, such as using the best micro-aviation magnetic antenna. With the emergence of single-chip radio ICs that integrate AM, FM, and SW bands in mobile phones, mini-audios with complete radio functions can change product positioning and get rid of the non-descript positioning of such products.

Fourth: video function

Integrated TV function

When choosing a mini speaker, you must first consider the sound quality. If the sound quality is not good, it is as if people have no soul.

Considering the appearance and workmanship, the brand-name products have done a good job in this regard. Products with different appearances have different advantages in design and various styles. However, this should be selected according to your personal preferences.

Remind you to consider the after-sales service when purchasing a mini speaker. Mini speakers are slim and feature-rich, so the production is very sophisticated. Good after-sales service can make you feel at ease

To consider the use of small audio environment, mainly related to space size and functional requirements, such as the living room and bedroom listening space may be different.

In general, the small speakers used in the living room bedroom, right
