1. High Initial Cost: One of the major restraints for the active speaker market is the high initial cost associated with purchasing these speakers. Active speakers tend to be more expensive than passive speakers due to the integrated amplification and signal processing components, which can deter cost-conscious consumers and businesses from investing in them.
2. Limited Customization Options: Unlike passive speakers, active speakers have limited customization options as they are designed with integrated amplification and crossovers. This limitation may restrict the flexibility for users to adjust the sound output according to their specific preferences, which could impact the market growth to some extent.
3. Competition from Passive Speakers: The active speaker market faces competition from traditional passive speakers that are widely available in the market. While active speakers offer advantages such as compactness, integrated amplification, and simplified setup, passive speakers are still preferred by some users for their customizable components and lower initial cost.
