Microphone Market Analysis
The Microphone Market is expected to register a CAGR of 7.21% during the forecast period.
The microphone is probably one of the most recognized electrical devices ever developed for widespread use. They guide the army during the war, provide millions of live sports broadcasts, announce details of presidential candidate races, announce the president's passage, and send trillions and trillions of telephone calls. With the proliferation of audio applications and features, microphone technology is becoming more and more critical. Different applications need to consider various factors, from audio quality to water and dust robustness, size and cost.
The increasing demand for smartphones and the rising adoption of voice-enabled smart devices are some of the major factors expected to fuel the market studied over the forecast period. The total number of digital voice assistants in use globally is also expected to reach 6.38 billion by the end of 2022.
The spread of smartphones is contributing to the growth of the microphone market worldwide. Mobile demand is directly proportional to microphone demand. Mobile penetration is rapidly growing day by day across the globe. Younger people are more likely to have smartphones, access to the internet, and use social media to be digitally connected. According to Ericsson, the number of smartphone users is expected to cross 7.69 billion by 2027 compared to the existing figure of 6.25 billion in 2021.
Devices such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home are gaining popularity in both developing and developed countries. These devices are manufactured with heavy use of microphones that can respond to human voices. Moreover, according to a survey by Triton Digital, the share of individuals who own any smart speakers in the United States increased from 24% in 2020 to 32% in 2021.
Advances in automotive automation are driving demand for different types of wireless microphone products used in driving assistance systems, controllers, power integrated devices, telematics, and Global Positioning systems (GPS). These devices are widely used in electric vehicles (EVs) and self-driving cars. Therefore, the increase in demand for electric vehicles is estimated to spur product adoption over the forecast period. With the advent of connected technology, the manufacturing industry is changing rapidly.

Asia-Pacific Accounts for the Largest Market Share
- The region witnessed increased investments from smart wearables brands Samsung, Noise, Fire-Boltt, etc., in improving their smartwatch portfolio. The growing number of smartwatches launched in the market now come with an in-built mic for calls on the go. For instance, in May 2022, Fire-Bolttlaunched Fire-BolttTalk 2, allowing users to make and receive Bluetooth calls with the help of the built-in microphone and speakers.
- In September 2021, PhotoMarket launched FeiDu FM40 powered by profocusgrip.com, a true diversity mini wireless microphone for DSLRs and Smartphones. The microphone enables noise-free, crystal-clear, and uncolored audio, making it apt for all sorts of activities, including newsgathering, anchoring, live, high-quality products, etc.
- Also, in September 2021, UBON announced the launch of its new SP-8005 Sound Aura Wireless Basstube Speaker with a Microphone in India at INR 2,999. The newly launched Sound Aura wireless speaker has features like USB charging, a built-in microphone, and wide compatibility.
- As users in the region have become more health-conscious, tracking applications have become more attractive. A high-performance microphone with ANC can be combined with a body temperature sensor to provide a convenient solution for tracking health and detecting high temperatures. A TWS headset that can track the wearer's temperature and alert the concerned authorities when the person has a fever provides peace of mind. Taking this opportunity, Infineon has developed an ASIC with an I2C temperature sensor. Combining this with MEMS produces a microphone with temperature sensing capabilities.
- Further, in May 2022, Neat Microphones, the innovative brand of high-quality USB and XLR microphones from Turtle Beach Corporation, confirmed the retail availability of their latest generation of microphones to international markets. The Neat Microphones team designed it; the same recording expert group founded Blue Microphones. Neat's all-new lineup is headlined by King Bee II - the brand's high-performance XLR microphone and successor to the original award-winning King Bee.
