headphones
Earlier in the year it appeared that the strato-spheric growth in the headphone categoryy
was finally coming back to earth. In the Fallll
2014 edition of the Curve Buying Guide, wee
had reported that the entire category onlyy
saw a 5.9% increase for the 12 monthss
n
ending March 2014, and a 2.6% decrease in
n
units. The second half of the year has been
h
much stronger and we are back on track with
double digit growth in overall dollars of 11%,,

and a modest increase in overall units of 2%

for the 12 months ending October 31, 2014.

Average selling price continues to rise,

So where is the growth coming from, and

the under $50 segment, and the 2nd

Consumers seem to either want to show
off their brand loyalty at the top end of
the spectrum with big names like Beatss

and Bose, or gravitate towards value

and Sony. Recently the mid-tier price
segments have shown significantt

headphones

Unsurprisingly, the percentage of
headphones sold with a microphone is
still increasing. Over 90% of headphones
over $150 have a microphone. The
percentages are not quite that high at
the lower end, with the under $50
segment coming in at just under 46%
with mic, but steadily growing. Based
on the growth rates it’s fair to say that
this will be the 55-60% range this time
next year.

headphones
The top 10 brands in the headphone category remain unchanged. Collectively the 10
brands at the top of the headphone heap account for 82% of the market, and grew 15%
year over year, compared to a 3% decline for all other brands combined. As the headphone
category continues to mature, the more established brands are continuing to grow while
the countless second tier brands that popped up during the headphone boom are slowly
being weeded out.
It’s clear that the headphone category is still a great place to be, offering high velocity and
strong margins for retailers and manufacturers alike. The category is maturing and the
ways in which people consume music changes as well. Whether it be commuting, working
out or just sitting at home, music is a huge part of everyone’s life, and headphones are a
main avenue in which they consume it. Manufacturers and retailers need to pay close
attention to these trends and continue to offer a variety of options to suit the music loving
public’s needs.

The Cellular Accessory category is down approximately 9% for the 12 months
ending September 2014. This is after seeing 33% growth from 2012 to 2013.
The largest segment within the category is still device protection.

Mobile Power, which is now being defined as its own category has seen much
healthier growth, with significant increases in portable power packs and charge
and sync cables. The growth in charge and sync cables is largely driven by the

Portable power packs are still early stage and the total category size still trails

Similar to mobile power, cases designed for Apple are still the dominant type with
approximately 2/3rds of the market. Samsung is a strong second with other
brands being fairly insignificant.
Source: The NPD Group, Inc. POS Retail Tracking Service
Part of this may be because case manufacturers are only focusing on the Tier
1 brands, despite plenty of Tier 2 and 3 device sales. We believe there is an
opportunity for retailers to provide additional device protection options for the
entire smartphone market, not just for Apple and Samsung.
As the wireless accessory category continues to mature, it is important for
retailers to pay attention to the trends; what was hot last year may not be in the
next. It is challenging to stay ahead of the curve, but by staying diligent and
assorting quality products that meet consumer demand retailers can expect to
profit from this category.

walk on water
Walk On Water was founded at the break of dawn in the 21st century by
Peter Carlberger. From the name you might think we are a religious sect but
the only thing we are fanatic about is designing street fashion accessories.
Our mission is to design and serve mentally fresh consumers with accessories others want to emulate.
We are influenced by the music industry’s experimental genre ‘alternative’
as well as street fashion around the globe. Out of this we try to create a nice
and tasty collection of accessories our craving consumers love and enjoy.
Walk on Water´s punch line is rebellious street fashion with a hard touch of
attitude. We deliver the punch line through the design of edgy and rebellious laptop bags, sleeves and tablet cases. The aggressive brand message
is also communicated throughout social media and other digital channels,
where the audience is trendsetters who don’t care what tomorrow brings.
