MEMS Microphone Market Size, Share & Trends | Industry Growth
The growth of the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for smartphones, IoT-enabled devices, virtual reality (VR) headsets, hearing aids, and other consumer electronics as well as to the smart city initiatives being pursued in various parts of the world. The rising levels of disposable income that have triggered the demand for smartphones are expected to emerge as one of the major factors driving the demand for MEMS microphones. At the same time, the growing aging population, which is suffering from hearing impairment, has triggered the demand for hearing aids featuring superior-quality microphones, which is also expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period.
Based on type, the global MEMS Microphone Market has been further segmented into digital and analog. The analog segment is expected to witness steady growth over the forecast period. There is a huge demand for analog output-type microphones for use in the majority of the smartphones. These microphones typically account for approximately 70%-80% of the global market at present. Samsung is the only company using digital MEMS microphones in its smartphones.
MEMS Microphone are significantly small in size, which makes it impossible to transfer high power through. As a result of this, preamplifier or op-amp components are required externally to amplify the signal. Besides, micro-components are more expensive than macro-components, increasing the price of the final product. Therefore, manufacturers are required to make mass production, in order to make it beneficial. Hence, these factors are expected to hinder the global MEMS microphone market growth over the forecast period.
