Canalys said that the top five manufacturers of TWS, except for OPPO, have all experienced different declines. Although Apple experienced a 30% decline, mainly due to the excessive shipment base of the delayed release of new earphones in the fourth quarter of last year, it still helped Apple maintain its first market share this year with the strong performance of its second-generation AirPods Pro.

Samsung (including the Harman subsidiary) remained in second place, but its shipments fell by 24%. Despite the launch of the new Galaxy Buds2 Pro last quarter, its shipments were still dominated by the Galaxy Buds2.

Xiaomi fell 49% year-on-year and ranked third. After streamlining its product line, it is currently focusing on consolidating the low-end market through the Redmi series, while its Xiaomi series has not yet rolled out.

The local Indian manufacturer boAt ranked fourth with a market share of 4%, but its growth rate fell by 15% year-on-year for the first time, showing that the current market demand in the Indian market has reached its peak.

OPPO (including OnePlus) ranked fifth with a market share of 3%, mainly helped by the excellent performance of its sub-brand OnePlus in the Indian market.

In terms of the domestic market, the top five TWS shipments in the fourth quarter of 2022 are Apple (19%), Edifier (13%), Xiaomi (11%), Huawei (10%) ), and OPPO (8%).

SA believes that Apple will continue to lead the TWS market, but will continue to lose market share due to inflation. In addition, the epidemic has led to reduced investment, reduced human capital and a global supply chain withdrawal, all of which inhibit the potential long-term growth of the TWS headset market.

According to the report, India is the fastest growing country region in the TWS market and will surpass the Western European market by 2022 and the North American market by 2023.

Analysts believe that Apple, Xiaomi, Realme, JBL, Vivo, OPPO, Samsung and other major manufacturers will face the risk of a shrinking share of Bluetooth devices, Apple is expected to remain the leading TWS headset market.

But India’s gains were not enough to offset the overall decline in global markets, which fell 1% in the U.S. and 13% in China. TWS was the only personal smart audio device category to grow, increasing 8% to 63 million units.

The top five TWS shipments in the second quarter of 2022 are Apple (27.8%), Samsung (9.3%), Xiaomi (5.3%), boAt (5.2%), and Skullcandy (4.1%).

TWS’s shipments in India increased by 217.9%to 7 million units, accounting for 11%of the global market share, a record high. Boat leads India’s TWS market with a market share of 47%, and Noise and OPPO (including OnePlus) are among the top three, both of which have achieved three-digit growth, 508% and 583%, respectively.
