Despite the prevalence of music streaming services, CD players appear to be having a resurgence. John Lewis said searches are up 96% since July, and portable CD players are also proving popular, which chimes with a report this year that found CD sales are up 16%.
Rising demand for CDs
The retail chain's data indicates a growing interest in the format, with consumers increasingly searching for CD players both for home use and on the go. This trend aligns with broader industry figures showing a notable increase in CD purchases.
