Overview

The MEMS microphone is also called a silicon microphone or microphone chip.  As Microphone is transducer, it can convert acoustic pressure waves to electrical signals. Sensors are more integrated with components in audio signal chain, and MEMS technology enables microphone to be smaller and available with either digital or analog outputs. MEMS microphones offer low power consumption, high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), good sensitivity. Also, they are fully compatible with various surface mount assembly processes and are available in small packages.  MEMS microphones have exceptional temperature characteristics and exhibit no change in performance after a reflow soldering.

Dynamics

Increasing demand for smartphones, virtual reality (VR) headsets, IoT-enabled devices, consumer electronics, and hearing aids is the key factor driving market growth. Another factor driving growth of the market is increasing disposable income. Recent emergence of IoT-enabled smart devices and virtual reality (VR) has opened different new opportunities for MEMS microphones. MEMS microphones are usually installed in speakers that operate on speech voice recognition commands. Also, these speakers are IoT-enabled smart devices.   Amazon Echo smart speaker is a best example for it. MEMS microphones are also used in headsets for VR- based gaming and movies. Such new area of product application is projected to fuel demand for MEMS microphones over the forecast period. Demand for MEMS microphones have been increasing significantly due to rising demand for consumer electronics. Other consumer electronics products include personal computers, laptops, tablets, speech recognition systems, portable media players, surveillance cameras, anti-theft alarms, smart speakers, music recorders, 3D cameras, and headphones. Canceling any unwanted noise is very important for these consumer electronics products. Thus, microphones used in these products must have unique characteristics. MEMS technology can be very productive towards this end, which is expected to drive growth of the global MEMS microphones over the forecast period. However, various alternatives available in the market are the key restraint for the global market. The technological advancement in MEMS microphones will create growth opportunities for key players in the market over the forecast period.
