Market Structure
Global Guitar Strings Market by Size, by Type, by Application, by Region, History and Forecast 2021-2032
Market perspective
A string is the vibrating element that produces sound in string instruments such as the guitar. The quality of the materials, the gauge of the strings, the winding methods, and special coatings all influence the sound and performance of a guitar.
Therefore, market share concentration is relatively low. The two largest operators account for about 23% of total industry revenue. Larger companies are looking to expand their footprint in nearby areas, where they can add value and turn once-struggling operations into profitable ventures. It’s still Ernie Ball and probably D’Addario that are the market leaders in string sales, with Martin, Fender and Gibson following closely behind and companies like GHS, Elixir, Rotosound, DR Strings, Dean Markley, Everly, Augustine and Dunlop all contributing to the numbers.
