The global percussion instruments market size is expected to reach USD 1.4 billion by 2033, registering a CAGR of 4.2% from 2026 to 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market for percussion instruments is expected to grow due to an increase in the number of live concerts and multiday musical events. Furthermore, the business is being fueled by the stage performances of leading companies and musicians.
Percussion instruments are considered a backbone of the music industry as it is one of the oldest instruments played. The coronavirus pandemic adversely affected the percussion instruments business. School closures canceled musical events and live orchestras, and disruptions in the supply chain led to reduced demand for musical instruments at a global level. Yamaha created disinfection guidelines for digital pianos, drums and percussion instruments, keyboards, guitars, pianos, and wind and string instruments.
In April 2020, BD Performing Arts (BDPA) and Conn-Selmer, Inc. announced that RCC Indoor, The Blue Devils, and all other programs would be performed exclusively on instruments distributed and manufactured by Conn-Selmer, Inc. The joined forces are expected to support the advancement of excellence in arts through new product development and educational events under Conn-Selmer Marching brands.
