Bluetooth Headset Shipments to Shrink 28 Percent in 2009

Boston, MA - October 26, 2009 -- According to the latest research from Strategy Analytics, Bluetooth headset shipments will shrink a huge 28 percent in the United States in 2009. The economic downturn has caused the Bluetooth headset industry to register its worst period since our records began.

Bonny Joy, Senior Analyst at Strategy Analytics, said, “We forecast Bluetooth headset shipments to decline 28 percent in the United States during 2009. Shipments reached 19.2 million units in 2008, but they will fall to 13.9 million by the end of 2009. The economic downturn has caused consumers and businesses to buy fewer Bluetooth headsets and the industry is set to register its worst period since volumes began taking off in 2000.”

Neil Mawston, Director at Strategy Analytics, added, “The United States is the world’s largest market for Bluetooth headsets. Demand for mono headsets has slumped during 2009, although stereo headphones have been more robust. The stereo category is emerging and it continues to offer the brightest prospects for growth for companies such as Motorola, Jabra and Plantronics in 2010.”

The full report, Global Bluetooth Headset Sales to Shrink 22 Percent in 2009, is published by the Strategy Analytics Wireless Device Strategies (WDS) service, details of which can be found here: http://tinyurl.com/yjksbre.
