To  calculate the market size, the report considers revenues generated from  shipments of electric guitars in Americas, APAC, and EMEA.<\/p>\n<p> Technavio&#8217;s lead market research analyst for consumer electronics,  Soumya Mutsuddi says &#8220;Vendors in the market continually experiment with  product designs, regularly introducing new, sophisticated musical  instruments. The Artiphon INSTRUMENT 1 is one such alternative, which  can emit and mix the sounds of multiple instruments, such as drums,  guitar, piano, synthesizer, and violin. Technology has also enabled the  development of self-tuning guitars with inbuilt tuning systems.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> She further adds, &#8220;With the increased cost of raw materials such as  wood, many manufacturers in this market are moving toward using cheaper  alternatives and innovating with peripheral devices that enable the  synthesis of high-quality sound. This trend will continue to gain  momentum over the next four years.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p> The top three key drivers for the global warning labels and stickers market according to Soumya Mutsuddi are:<\/p>\n<p> Increased number of concerts and live performances<\/p>\n<p> The emergence of new bands has increased the demand for a variety of  technologically advanced and expensive musical instruments from  performers and companies that organize concerts.<\/p>\n<p> Electric guitars enable artists to amplify the instrument&#8217;s sound as  opposed to acoustic guitars, allowing them to address a larger audience.  The versatility of an electric guitar includes special effects such as  reverb and distortion, which add an extra element to the music.<\/p>\n<p> Concerts and live performances are platforms that are always trending,  irrespective of genre. The prospect of seeing their favorite artists  motivates music enthusiasts to attend live performances, which acts as a  source of revenue generation for organizers and artists. These factors,  along with the possibility of producing a multitude of sounds and  effects are attracting budding musicians, and music lovers toward  electric guitars.<\/p>\n<p> Increasing interest in the electric guitar from emerging markets<\/p>\n<p> Many people who choose to play music as a recreational activity look for  instruments that can be incorporated into a wide range of music genres.  The versatility of a guitar makes the instrument, the number one choice  for learning music among most music enthusiasts.<\/p>\n<p> The market study indicates a growing interest among parents to enroll  their children in music classes, which has encouraged several schools  and universities in emerging markets to offer music courses. This  in-turn is expected to significantly augment the demand for electric  guitars in emerging markets in the next four years.<\/p>\n<p> Technavio researchers have observed, APAC countries such as China,  India, and South Korea currently have a low penetration rate but are  expected to emerge as an attractive opportunity for vendors to venture  during this period. The region is predicted to emerge as the fastest  growing markets for electric guitars globally as per the report.<\/p>\n<p> Rise in disposable income<\/p>\n<p> The increase in disposable income, changing lifestyles, and high  standards of living have motivated individuals to spend more on leisure  activities. It has led to a rise in the sales of musical instruments  such as guitars, pianos, and keyboards. To capitalize on the market  demand, vendors are predicted to focus more on the frequent changes in  consumer preferences presented by the market. Established vendors are  likely to scale up their investments in branding and expanding their  collection of existing electric guitars, as well as acquiring new  players, states the report.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normal\">Source: <\/span><br \/><span class=\"normal\">Technavio<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technavio&#8217;s latest market research report predicts the global electric guitar market to reach a revenue&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5822","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5822","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5822"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5822\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5822"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5822"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5822"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
