iPod Accessories Market Booms

Added 01-08-2008

For every ninety pounds spent on an iPod, three pounds are spent on accessories. The global market is in the billions, therefore, it's of no surprise that a majority of the products are produced in China.

To begin with the accessories market was dominated by small players; but, as the sales volume increased for this sector, larger companies began to take an interest. One such company is Bose, who released their Soundock, an acclaimed docking station which retails for $399.

While accessories produced in China prices have been reduced in 2006 and 2007, the manufacturing costs are predicted to rise in the upcoming years. Many suppliers have signed large production quotas for 2009. While sales may be slowing in the US, growth is expected in the EU and Asian markets.
