Household Audio & Video Equipment

Household Audio & Video Equipment, categorized under SIC 3651, covers the design, manufacturing, and distribution of televisions, streaming boxes, smart speakers, soundbars, home theater systems, headphones, and connected accessories. Typical customers span mass-market consumers upgrading living rooms, audiophiles seeking premium fidelity, and retailers and installers equipping bundled home entertainment packages. Producers face tight margins, rapid component cycles, global supply-chain volatility, and regulatory scrutiny around energy efficiency, wireless spectrum use, right-to-repair rules, and data privacy in voice-enabled devices. In 2024-2025 the sector is shaped by AI-powered audio tuning, spatial and immersive formats, brighter and more efficient OLED and Mini-LED panels, sustainability-driven materials, and direct-to-consumer channels that compress launch timelines. Geopolitical trade shifts and lithium/rare-earth price swings remain key risks, while warranty obligations and evolving accessibility standards add complexity.
