MEMS Microphone Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.67% to reach US$3.013 billion in 2028 from US$1.482 billion in 2021.

A Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) microphone is a type of microphone that uses tiny mechanical structures to convert sound waves into electrical signals. These microphones are popular in a variety of applications, from consumer electronics like smartphones and tablets to medical devices and industrial equipment. MEMS microphones offer several advantages over traditional microphones, including smaller size, lower power consumption, and higher sensitivity.

The MEMS microphone market is driven by increasing adoption of voice-activated virtual assistants and rising demand for high-fidelity audio.

With the increasing adoption of voice-activated virtual assistants, such as Amazon's Alexa and Google Assistant, there is a growing demand for high-quality microphones that can accurately capture voice commands. MEMS microphones are well-suited for use in these applications due to their high sensitivity and noise cancellation capabilities.

Further, with the increasing popularity of music streaming services and high-quality audio equipment, there is a growing demand for high-fidelity audio recording and playback. MEMS microphones, with their low self-noise and high sensitivity, are well-suited for use in applications like studio recording and live sound reinforcement.

Based on type, the MEMS microphone market is expected to witness positive growth in digital segment.

The MEMS microphone market is expected to experience significant growth during the projected period, particularly in the digital segment, due to the increasing demand for high-performance, low-power, and small-sized microphones in various applications. The segment is driven by the rising adoption of smartphones, tablets, laptops, and smart speakers, which require high-quality microphones for voice recognition, speech recording, and noise cancellation. The growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the increasing use of voice-activated systems in homes and cars are also contributing to the demand for digital MEMS microphones.

North America accounted for a significant share of the global MEMS microphone market.

Based on geography, the MEMS microphone market is segmented into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa and Asia Pacific. North America is one of the leading regions in the global MEMS microphone market. The region's dominance can be attributed to the presence of major manufacturers of consumer electronics and automotive products, which are the primary end-users of MEMS microphones. The growth of the market is also fueled by the increasing demand for advanced voice recognition technologies, such as virtual assistants, smart speakers, and voice-controlled devices. In addition, the rise in the use of MEMS microphones in smartphones, tablets, and laptops, along with the adoption of IoT and connected devices, has further driven the growth of the market. Furthermore, the increasing adoption of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) in the automotive sector has led to the growth of the MEMS microphone market in North America. These systems use MEMS microphones for voice-activated commands and infotainment applications.

Key developments.

• In June 2021, TDK Corporation unveiled a trio of new MEMS microphones, which are part of the SmartSound range for mobile, IoT, and other consumer devices. The microphones are engineered to offer advanced features with low power consumption and are available in compact package footprints. The T5919 is the first-ever PDM digital output microphone globally with a built-in Particle Ingress Filter (PIF) to provide protection against moisture and particles. The T4086 is an extremely compact analog output MEMS microphone that delivers high SNR and AOP at low power consumption, while the T3903 is a PDM MEMS microphone with low power consumption and wide dynamic range designed for 'AlwaysOn' applications.
• In May 2022, Infineon Technologies announced the release of its latest range of high-precision XENSIV MEMS microphones, intended for use in various consumer electronic devices such as active noise cancelling headphones, TWS earbuds, smart speakers with voice-user-interfaces, tablets, and laptops. The microphones - IM69D127, IM73A135, and IM72D128 - utilize Sealed Dual Membrane (SDM) MEMS technology to offer exceptional ingress protection, protecting the microphone from water or dust intrusion. The microphones have a high signal-to-noise ratio, low distortion, and selectable power modes. Additionally, they can be utilized for some industrial applications such as security and predictive maintenance.
• In July 2022, Fortemedia introduced a new solution for MEMS microphones that has undergone a series of stringent reliability tests, including air pressure tests, and satisfies the stringent requirements of tier-one global clients. The solution features an IC and MEMS sensor with a small footprint of 2.75x1.85x0.90mm3 and 0.25mm aperture. Since 2017, the company has been exploring MEMS microphone sensor technology and planned to expand into the global smartphone market with its TMS02 series MEMS sensor, combined with its own ASIC, fitting into small microphone footprints.
