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?

Just for comparison - Rolex are reputed to make about a million watches a year and to hold 30 percent of the luxury watch market - so market size, about 3.5 million sales per year.

I would hazard that there are a lot more luxury watch owners than audiophiles.

I've posted here several times about the fact that the audiophile demographic is very imbalanced, gender-wise and shrinking.

But the company demographic is ageing rapidly too so it my decline as the customer based does too.
