Rise in Use of HRTF in Media & Entertainment Sector Fuels 3D Audio Market Growth

The use of advanced technologies such as head-related transfer functions (HRTF) is growing in the media & entertainment industry. Players in the global 3D audio market are working on merging the HRTF technology for improved user experience. When watching movies on smartphones with earphones, 3D audio is more immersive than 2D audio. In the film industry, HRTF integration simulates 3D audio when mirrored sounds reach the ears from multiple directions through various speakers located on all four sides of a space. The HRTF is implemented for a wide range of sound devices, including headphones, to provide a distinct surround sound impression. Consumers are increasingly interested in installing home theater systems that take advantage of the experience offered by HRTF. A certification called Dolby Digital is given to consumers using HRTF, which is based on surround sound effects. HRTF processing is also emulated using software without the use of any external hardware to produce surround sound.

Furthermore, headphone manufacturers are investing in products that integrate HRTF technology to provide users with the greatest 3D auditory environment. In January 2023, JBL expanded its new JBL Quantum Series headsets. After the success of its first wireless gaming headset—the JBL Quantum TWS, the company also launched the next installment in the series—the JBL Quantum TWS Air. Therefore, the constant rise in the use of HRTF in media & entertainment sector fuels the growth of the 3D audio market.

Segmental Analysis:

Based on component, the 3D audio market is segmented into hardware, software, and services. Loudspeakers, headphones, Bluetooth speakers, microphones, sound bars, and other hardware sound systems are included in the hardware sector. Binaural sound systems are used in 3D audio hardware to acquire, process, and playback audio waves. The 3D audio hardware system's purpose is to provide the listener with an auditory experience that replicates real life. Additionally, 3D audio recordings are made using two microphones. The microphones collect sound in two channels at the same time. Software modifies the recording to imitate the tiny signal fluctuations that occur when each ear transmits messages to the brain, and the concept is referred to as biomimicry. Unlike surround sound, which necessitates the use of several external speakers to provide directional audio sources, 3D audio can be experienced through headphones only.
