How large (or small) is the audiophile market?


Just curious, how big is the total market for audiophile hardware?  There seem to be a lot of manufactures vying for a a small pool of potential buyers.  I've read in places that as boomers age the market is shrinking.  I don't know very many young people, but none that i do know are into it.  Anyone have any idea what the total market size is?

Boomers got into audio because we didnʻt have home computers back then.  The hi-end hi-fi market has always been slow and small.  As we boomers pass on, the market will continue to shrink, but there will always be those who love it.

 

One big problem is that the audio manufacturers are not only competing with each other, theyʻre also competing with the used audio market.  If youʻre thinking of getting into the business, donʻt.
