Future outlook for the JBL brand that drives the audio market  2023 was a year of great leap forward for JBL. There are many dark topics in the audio industry these days, but instead of focusing on traditional product images and manifested needs, we are delving into “the ideal form of products required in this era” from the user’s perspective, and developing potential products that are suitable for this era. By delivering an innovative product that uncovers needs, we were able to resonate with many people.
In terms of marketing strategy, we focused on the fastest and most profound way to communicate our innovative products, and utilized digital media powerfully and quickly. On the other hand, in order to expand brand recognition, in addition to development at dealers, we have also placed emphasis on “analog experiences” such as pop-up events in Shibuya and the development of impactful outdoor
advertisements. We believe that the fusion of digital and analog has made the JBL brand feel more three-dimensional.
It is expected that the demand for completely wireless earphones as a “wearable audio device” will continue to increase in the future due to the spread of smartphones and the promotion of DX. With the
introduction of new types of earphones such as the JBL SOUNDGEAR SENSE, which was released at the end of this year, we believe that the time is not far when it will become commonplace to have two earphones, which can be used depending on the purpose and scene. Furthermore, in home entertainment, in addition to larger and higher-definition televisions, advances in content such as movies, TV programs, and games have led to the ease of use such as the BAR 1000 fully wireless surround system, as well as the ability to produce authentic sound. I believe that an audio system that achieves both will improve living entertainment in Japan.
Even in this new era, we will continue to strive to deliver products with the highest quality sound that suit the times, so that people can choose our brand without hesitation, saying, “If you love music, go for JBL.”
