Product Overview and Scope of Global Guitar Amplifiers Market
A guitar amplifier is referred to an electronic system or device that strengthens the electrical signal from a pickup on an electric guitar, acoustic guitar, or a bass guitar so that the guitar can produce sound through one or more loudspeakers, which are generally housed in a wooden cabinet. These days, guitar amplifiers are often expected to do more than just amplify a sound. The construction of guitar amplifiers enables them to modify every timbre of an instrument and add several electronic effects. The first invented electronic amplifiers were not meant for electric guitars. Further, by 1930's several different variations of guitar amplifier were being developed and introduced. Despite of early designs of amplifiers being developed predominantly for acoustic guitars, electric amplification had become widely popularized for guitars in the 30s and 40s, which observed a popularity for Hawaiian music, and consequently, the amplified lap steel Hawaiian guitar was the first instrument to be created by amplification.
The first speakers and amplifiers could only be powered with large batteries, making them heavy and hard to carry around, as well as having a limited frequency range and low acoustic output. Guitar amps can add tonal coloration, roll off unwanted high frequencies, and add overdrive and distortion. The controls allow a much richer sound to be created as opposed to a regular PA system. As of right now, guitar amps are almost always present on the stages of popular (and even more experimental) artists and bands, as well as in the studio.
Several factors are responsible for the growth of guitar amplifiers in the global market. Factors such as the rising popularity of guitars as a musical instrument, along with increasing number of music enthusiasts and musicians is driving the demand for guitar amplifiers worldwide. In addition, presence of several different genres like metal, rock, and blues which heavily rely on amplified guitar sounds, further fuels the growth of the global guitar amplifier market. Further, the evolving technology of wireless connectivity and Bluetooth amplifiers is gaining popularity in the market.
In the future, perhaps the concept and technology of guitar amps can be condensed into a phone application that can be directly connected to a speaker system, significantly decreasing the hassle involved with setting up and transporting them from venue to venue. Nonetheless, many people - especially purists—will always prefer analogue technology over that of digital. Thus, owing to all the above factors, the overall global guitar amplifier market is expected to exhibit positive growth during the forecast period.

The growing number of instrument amplifiers and increasing music industry is a significant driver of the expanding business in this musical instrument sector. As the music industry grows and diversifies, so does the demand for high-quality amplification systems that can increase the sound capabilities of musical instruments, particularly guitars. For instance, global recorded music revenues are expected to rise by 9.0% by 2022. This was the eighth year of global growth. Digital sales have consistently increased in recent years, and streaming has remained the leading format internationally, accounting for 67.0% of global recorded music revenues in 2022 after growing by 11.5%.
With the increasing use of electric guitars in numerous types of music, there is now a greater demand for guitar amplifiers that can properly recreate the subtleties and tonal complexity of these instruments. For instance, in 2021, the number of electric guitars sold in the United States increased by around 30.7 percent over the previous year. Overall unit sales were approximately 1.49 million in 2021, an increase from over 1.1 million in 2020. According to the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM), Electric guitars exceed acoustic guitars, with a market share of 60% to 40%. Guitarists, whether pros or beginners want amplifiers that not only have enough power but also have a wide range of adjustable tones to match their various playing styles.
The number of instrument amplifiers sold in United States increased from 596,000 to 710,000 in 2021. This increase would also showcase the demand for the guitar amplifiers due to the increased popularity of guitar among all the instruments. Advances in amplifier technology, like as digital modeling and effects integration, allow artists to experiment with an extensive range of sounds and textures, driving demand even more.
