PIANO SALES MARKET OVERVIEW

The global piano sales market size was USD 2.50 billion in 2024 and is projected to touch USD 2.96 billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 1.9% during the forecast period from 2025 To 2033.

Bartolomeo Cristofori invented the piano, an acoustic string instrument, in Italy in the 1700s. Since the piano's strings are struck with hammers made of hardwood covered with a softer coating, the design of the instrument makes sense. These hardwood mallets are sometimes covered with covers of leather or thick felt. The performer hits the keyboard, which consists of a row of keys, with the fingers and thumbs of both hands, so the hammers hit the strings while the piano is playing.

 The piano soundboard is enclosed in a protected wooden shell and the metal strings are attached to a very strong metal frame. When the user presses one or more keys on the keyboard, a wooden or plastic hammer strikes the string. The string experiences the bounce of the hammer and then the string vibrates at its resonant frequency. A piano can be classified as a grand piano, an upright piano, a special piano, an electric piano, an electric piano or a digital piano.

 During the forecast period, the availability of music creation software will be a major hindrance to the market. Pianos and other musical instruments can be replaced directly by music production software. Such software allows consumers to create music that resembles music written by professional musicians. Music creation software allows amateur musicians to create music. Such software is customizable and offers a variety of sounds. They are also cheaper than various musical instruments, including pianos. Such software facilitates mobility and allows you to record music in different settings.

The growing interest of individuals, especially young people and retirees, has led to the global expansion of the piano sales market. Children between the ages of 5 and 14 are often considered the age to start playing an instrument. The growing interest of children in this age group is expected to increase the market demand. The number of pensioners in the 65-69 age group also influenced the piano sales market during the forecast period. The number of events organized in schools and colleges also increased, which increased the number of piano students. The increasing number of music programs at various levels in educational institutions is projected to accelerate the market expansion. 

 The integration of music into academic curricula is the most important element contributing to the expansion of the piano market. The importance of extracurricular activities in the lives of students cannot be overstated. Students participating in these events interact with new people, which helps them develop social skills and cultural awareness. As children participate in extracurricular activities, they can also develop various life skills such as problem solving, analytical thinking, speaking, teamwork, time management and multitasking. Many international schools, colleges and universities around the world add extracurricular activities and extra courses such as music to their curricula.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Postponement Of Events Hampered The Growth Of Market

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the piano sales market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The population was forbidden to leave their homes, so students began taking piano lessons. Cafes, restaurants and events were also maintained, which hindered the growth of the market. The outbreak of the pandemic affected the growth of the market due to the forced shutdown to prevent the spread of the virus. The pandemic imposed travel restrictions and affected the supply chain, causing a shortage of raw materials in production in industrial sectors. The pandemic caused the postponement of events, exhibitions and concerts, which negatively affected the growth of the market.

LATEST TRENDS

Emergence of hybrid pianos to gain traction in the market

Hybrid pianos have gained immense popularity among music lovers. These pianos are increasingly being used to provide keyboard lessons as they combine the electronic, mechanical and acoustic aspects of both acoustic and digital pianos. In addition, hybrid pianos take up limited space and can be easily moved due to their small size and lightness. In addition, these pianos require little maintenance. Temperature and humidity do not affect their configuration due to amplifiers and speakers. They can also be connected to digital interfaces, laptops, iPads and other devices. As a result, pianists are increasingly preferring hybrid pianos, prompting vendors to launch more innovative products that will boost market growth during the forecast period.
