Micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) microphones are electro-acoustic transducers containing MEMS sensors and application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC) in a single package to provide high-fidelity acoustic sensing. They exhibit low power consumption and high sensitivity, offer a high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and are available in compact packages that are compatible with surface mount assembly processes. MEMS microphones are widely used in the internet of things (IoT) and virtual reality (VR) devices, hearing aids, smartphones, and other consumer electronics, such as televisions, smart speakers, earbuds, smartwatches, and headsets. As compared to electret condenser microphones (ECM), MEMS microphones are cost-effective, reduce unwanted noise, are less susceptible to electrical interference, and offer low output impedance and temperature stability.
The increasing demand for advanced consumer electronics across the globe is creating a positive outlook for the market. MEMS microphones are extensively used in smart devices and wearables for activating noise cancellation and providing stereo capabilities, voice recognition, and voice recording features. Furthermore, rising product demand in the automotive industry for beamforming, infotainment systems, and engine diagnosis is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Additionally, the introduction of piezoelectric MEMS microphones that are waterproof, dustproof, particle-resistant, shockproof, and can withstand high temperatures is providing an impetus to market growth. Moreover, widespread product utilization in the healthcare industry in neonatal care, cardiac surgery, emergency alarm, and medical telemetry to remotely monitor patients’ pulse and respiration rates is positively influencing the market growth. Other factors, including the rising geriatric population with hearing impairment and increasing product utilization in industrial applications, such as sound power testing, general sound measurement, and noise source testing, are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
