From Dolby Atmos dominance to AI-tuned audio, 2025 is shaping up to be a transformative year for soundbars. For brands, retailers, and distributors, these trends aren’t just “noise”—they’re opportunities to capture market share. But to capitalize, you need a partner who understands both global trends and local demand (e.g., EU’s love for multi-room audio, Japan’s focus on compact design).
As a 13-year audio-focused integrated manufacturing & trading (工贸一体) company with 9+ years of Amazon cross-border experience, we’ve decoded 2025’s soundbar trends and how our OEM/ODM services turn them into profitable products for every business type.
1. 2025 Soundbar Trends: What’s Driving Demand
Trend 1: Dolby Atmos Goes Mainstream
- Why it matters: 80% of new TVs support Dolby Atmos (HDMI eARC), and consumers now expect “cinematic audio” from soundbars. Searches for “Dolby Atmos soundbar” grew 40% YoY (Semrush).
- Our response: We’ve pre-developed 3 Dolby Atmos soundbar prototypes (entry, mid, premium) with virtual height channels—tested on Amazon EU/US for 6 months.
A US retail chain launched our entry-level Dolby Atmos soundbar in Q1 2025—sold 3,000 units in 8 weeks.
Trend 2: AI-Tuned Audio for “Perfect” Sound
- Why it matters: AI adjusts sound profiles to room size/shape (e.g., boosting bass in small apartments). “AI soundbar” searches are up 35% YoY (Google Trends).
- Our response: Our 2025 “Smart Tune” soundbar uses AI to optimize EQ in real time—already certified for CE/FCC/PSE.
A Japanese brand customized our “Smart Tune” soundbar (added Japanese voice control) and launched in Q2 2025—now a top seller on Amazon JP.
Trend 3: Wireless Multi-Room Connectivity
- Why it matters: Consumers want soundbars that sync with other speakers (e.g., play music in the living room and bedroom). “Multi-room soundbar” searches grew 22% YoY (Statista).
- Our response: Our multi-room soundbar prototypes support WiFi/Bluetooth sync with TWS earbuds/speakers—ideal for EU/US smart home markets.
A UK small distributor launched our multi-room soundbar in 2024—sold 450 units in 3 months, then scaled to 1,200 units/month.

2. How We Turn Trends Into Profitable OEM/ODM Products
For International Brands: Trend-Driven Product Lines
Mid-to-large brands need to lead trends, not follow. We help by:
- Co-developing trend-focused lines: Partner with our R&D team to merge your vision with our trend data (e.g., a “Dolby Atmos + AI” soundbar for US audiophiles).
- Fast certification: Secure CE/FCC/PSE for new models in 5–7 days (in-house team).
A German brand used this to launch a “Dolby Atmos + AI” line in Q3 2024—now holds 12% of Germany’s premium soundbar market.

A Brazilian supermarket launched our Dolby Atmos soundbar with Spanish/Portuguese marketing—sold 80% of inventory in 8 weeks.

A US small distributor launched our AI-tuned soundbar with 100 units—sold 85 units in 6 weeks, then reordered 300 units.
3. Success Story: UK Distributor’s Trend-Driven Growth
A 20-person UK e-commerce distributor came to us in 2024 with:
- Goal: Capitalize on “AI audio” trends without R&D costs.
- Our Solution:
- Recommended our “Smart Tune” AI soundbar prototype (CE certified, 4.8/5 Amazon rating).
- Offered 100-unit MOQ with custom branding (logo on grille).
