Growing Popularity of Soundbars & Wireless Speakers Drive the Global Loudspeakers Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
San Jose, California (PRWEB) June 13, 2013
Follow us on LinkedIn – As a component of music systems, loudspeakers assume significant importance as the quality of the sound reproduced depends on the technological sophistication of the speaker system. Demand for loudspeakers primarily depends on consumer spending on audio entertainment devices. Penetration levels of audio equipment such as DVD/CD Players, Blu-Ray Devices, MP3 players, Home Theater Systems, PCs, LCDs, LEDs, and other multimedia devices therefore dictate market prospects for speakers.
The market is poised to benefit from the growing consumer preference for in-home entertainment systems. Indicating change in consumer lifestyle and choice of entertainment, the trend towards At-Home Entertainment is fast gaining strength. Against the backdrop of volatile economic conditions, watching movies, listening to favorite music, or playing games at home is proving to be an economical option in comparison to expensive leisure pursuits such as vacations, dining out or watching movie screenings. The trend directly boosts demand for sophisticated loudspeakers that can enhance audio from TV shows, digital movies or games. Also encouraging growth in the market is the rising adoption of high-end home theater systems, which creates significant opportunities for satellite/subwoofer systems, in-wall speakers and soundbars. Huge demand for home automation solutions among luxury homeowners also creates demand for strategically placed outdoor speakers.
The market also stands to benefit from the robust pace of technology developments. Loudspeakers, over the years, have undergone immense transformation to incorporate the latest technologies and innovations. Among the various developments is the wireless technology that is gaining widespread adoption the world over. Changing consumer preferences, lifestyles, and media consumption habits are driving the acceptance of a range of new, innovative and non-traditional solutions for media playback. Growing demand for mobility, increasing proliferation of connected devices and rising penetration of Wi-Fi networks is making wireless connectivity a standard feature in urban households. While ‘audio quality’ has long been the only product feature influencing consumer purchase decisions, the future will witness the speakers’ ability to wirelessly connect with mobile devices as a key deciding factor. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled speakers are therefore growing in popularity and are boosting market prospects for the overall market. Growing preference for wireless connectivity can be put to perspective by the fact that almost all speaker categories, including soundbars, mobile docking speakers, and even in-wall units are now being re-designed to incorporate wireless connectivity.
As stated by the new market research report on Loudspeakers, Europe represents the largest market worldwide both in terms of volume and dollar sales. The United States represents the fastest growing market with volume sales in the country projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.5% over the analysis period. Given their cost of ownership, satellite/subwoofer speakers continue to remain the largest speaker category in terms of dollar sales, while soundbars represent the fastest growing market with dollar sales waxing at a CAGR of 21% over the analysis period.
Key players covered in the report include Altec Lansing LLC, Amaoto Industrial Co., Ltd., B&W Group Ltd., Bose Corporation, Boston Acoustics Inc., Cerwin-Vega!, Creative Technology Ltd., Cambridge SoundWorks, DEI Holdings Inc., First Audio Manufacturing (H.K.) Ltd., Focal JM-Lab, Focus Audio Inc., German Physiks, Harbeth Audio Ltd., Harman International Industries Inc., Jean-Marie Reynaud, Mårten, Maxxsonics USA Inc., Nortek Inc., Niles Audio Corporation, SpeakerCraft Inc., Opera Loudspeakers, Pioneer Corporation, QLN AB, Quadral GmbH & Co. KG, Sammi Sound Tech Co Ltd., Scandyna A/S, Sonance, Inc., Velodyne Acoustics Inc., VOXX International Corporation, Klipsch Group Inc., and Yamaha Corporation, among others.

Work4 Releases First Social Job Sharing Solution That Empowers Recruiters with Full Automation, Customization, and Control
San Francisco (PRWEB) June 11, 2013
Today, Work4, the #1 Facebook Recruiting Solution, announces the release of its brand-new recruiter productivity solution, Social Job Sharing Recruiter. This powerful solution, which has already been adopted with great success by many of Work4’s Fortune 500 clients, empowers talent acquisition professionals to automatically share jobs across social networks, scale and promote specific hiring initiatives, engage a talent community, and spread a branded recruiting message, while putting control–and time–back into the recruiter’s hands.
With nearly all recruiters now using one or more social networks to find and engage talent, it becomes ever more imperative for employers to find cost-efficient and effective methods for streamlining the process of sharing jobs through social media. This is now mission critical, with 89% of today’s candidates active on social networks, and 81% of job seekers on Facebook expecting companies and brands to post job opportunities there.
Work4 takes efficiency and optimization of social job distribution to the next level by giving recruiters the ability to “set it and forget it,” while retaining complete control over the jobs and messaging shared with friends, followers, and connections through Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
“Our main goal is to facilitate a better connection between recruiters and candidates while saving employers time and resources,” said Work4 CEO Stéphane Le Viet. “By putting powerful automation tools for broadcasting jobs over social networks in recruiters’ hands and then streamlining how they control and customize messages and sharing, we’re able to help companies reach more of the right people with the right jobs in less time and with fewer wasted resources.”
On the macro level, Social Job Sharing Recruiter represents an HR management tool that can give employers global visibility into recruiters’ sharing activities, as well as insight into the performance of individual recruiters’ sharing campaigns and social media channels. On the micro level, this solution gives organizations’ individual recruiters control over the jobs they “own,” from scheduling specific jobs to customizing the messaging and choosing the frequency of posts on each social network.
Already, Work4’s premier clients, including many global Fortune 500 organizations, have seen tremendous success: the solution has already driven an average of 34% of job views and 30% of apply clicks on 10 beta customers’ Facebook Career Sites.
“Although our adventure with Work4 is a relatively young one, we couldn’t be happier with the services so far,” said National Bank of Canada’s Eric Belair, Senior Consultant Talent Attraction and Diversity. “Work4 enables us to easily and automatically distribute and share our various career opportunities across our selected social media platforms. This tool allows us to save time while reaching precisely the right candidates…Work4 has quickly become a key tool in our recruitment strategies.”
Social Job Sharing Recruiter is a revolutionary social recruiting tool because it provides recruiters with a single, easy-to-use platform for managing their job distribution across social networks, while eliminating the factors that often limit successful implementation of a social recruiting strategy, such as time, ease of adoption, or incompatibility with existing technology.
This solution integrates with existing talent management systems, so recruiters can continue using familiar tools without having to invest in or train on new technology. Jobs imported from an applicant tracking system are pushed to the chosen social networks with natural language and rotating text; however, recruiters have the ability to create custom, branded calls to action, which makes Social Job Sharing Recruiter a great tool for strengthening employer branding. Increased brand awareness, in turn, can help bring in more potential candidates, which has the potential to increase the number of completed job applications and speed the hiring process.
Social Job Sharing Recruiter can also be embedded in a corporate career site while working in tandem with other Work4 offerings, in order to bring candidates back to a custom branded Facebook Career Site and help recruiters monitor progress and campaign effectiveness with analytics.
Said Le Viet, “From simplifying the recruiter’s process to expanding the reach of job shares, to increasing job views and brand awareness, Social Job Sharing Recruiter promises to help recruiters tap into the power of social networks to better connect with the right candidates.”
For more information, download Work4‘s latest whitepaper, “The Science of Social Job Sharing: How to Effortlessly Tap Your Social Network for Referrals and Passive Candidates.”

Georgetown University and Urban Institute Researchers Release State-by-State Analysis on How the Affordable Care Act Will Create Opportunities for More Entrepreneurs
Washington, D.C (PRWEB) June 04, 2013
A team of nationally recognized researchers estimate that the number of self-employed entrepreneurs will be 1.5 million higher in 2014 because of the new health insurance options created by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation sponsored report was coauthored by Georgetown University’s Center on Health Insurance Reforms and the Urban Institute.
“Far too many people have had their dream of launching their own business delayed or denied because they couldn’t afford to give up the security of good health insurance,” said Sabrina Corlette, co-author of the report and director of the Georgetown University Center on Health Insurance Reforms. “That’s all about to change when the Affordable Care Act starts offering high-quality health insurance options that aren’t tied to employment.”
The researchers found the impact of the ACA on entrepreneurship will vary state by state, depending on the insurance market reforms states may already have in place. For example, they estimate an increase of 124,000 newly self-employed in Texas, 72,000 in Florida, 67,000 in Ohio and 60,000 in Pennsylvania because the ACA’s reforms will improve individual’s access to high quality health insurance that isn’t tied to their jobs. Massachusetts, however, will see no measurable change because many of the ACA’s reforms are already in place.
Provisions of the new health law that may encourage more people to start their own business include:
No applicant can be turned down because of a preexisting condition.
Individuals cannot be charged higher premiums because of their health status.
Insurers must offer plans with a comprehensive set of essential health benefits.
Tax credits to help low- or moderate- individuals and families will reduce premium costs.
Medicaid expansion, in some states, will provide coverage for those with the lowest incomes.
The research was funded by Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and published by the Center on Health Insurance Reforms (CHIR) and the Urban Institute. CHIR is composed of a team of nationally recognized experts on private health insurance and health reform. For more on the center’s work, please see our website and blog.

Netflix to Offer A/B Testing Case Study at the Big Data & Analytics for Retail Summit
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) June 03, 2013
Big data has become essential for retailers, helping them sell more goods by analyzing their customer buying patterns. Enormous amounts of raw data comes in to retailers on a daily basis and it is critical for them to be able to extract the key insights from this massive amount of data and develop actionable plans. Attendees at the Big Data & Analytics for Retail Summit will gain unique insight into the innovations that are driving success from analytics executives and data scientists working in retail, eCommerce and consumer goods. The summit is being held at The Westin River North in Chicago, June 20-21.
Netflix, a keynote presenter at the Summit, has over 37 million subscribers worldwide, with 29 million in the U.S. alone. Millions of data points are collected daily and Netflix’s sophisticated data collection and analytic systems can determine not only which movies are watched, but also details about that watcher; including if they watched the movie to the very end and how many times they paused it. Netflix is using this insight to offer better customer service and to create original content based on the viewing habits of its members. Its key to big data success lies in the collection and analysis of the data. At the Summit, Byran Gumm, Manager, Experimentation Platform & Science at Netflix and Juilette Aurisset, Senior Data Scientist at Netflix, will review the challenges they’ve had in conducting and analyzing A/B tests, offer ideas on speeding up the experimentation cycle,and will walk through a Netflix-specific case study.
“Retailers see Big Data as a key competitive advantage that, if implemented correctly, can move more goods off the shelves ,” said Dave Barton, Analytics Division Lead at Innovation Enterprise. “The challenge is in the implementation; to take Big Data and turn it into actionable results. This conference is a prime opportunity for retailers to learn the best practices in the field today.”
