Market Overview:
The global electret microphones market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for studio and stage applications, and the growing use of computers for voice recognition and communication purposes. In terms of type, the foil-type or diaphragm-type segment is expected to lead the global electret microphones market during the forecast period, followed by back electret and front electret segments. The foil-type or diaphragm-type segment is projected to grow at a CAGR of 6% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030.
Product Definition:
An electret microphone is a type of microphone that uses an electret material to convert sound into an electrical signal. Electret microphones are important because they are inexpensive and can be used in a variety of applications.
Foil-type or Diaphragm-type:
Foil-type or diaphragm-type is a dynamic electret condenser microphone. It has two main elements, namely the membrane (diaphragm) and a thin metal foil as an external sound barrier. The mechanism works as follows: the sound waves cause vibrations in the membrane, which are then amplified by the foil and converted into an electrical signal.
Back Electret:
Back electret is a type of electret condenser microphone that uses an internal capsule or membrane as a sound-source. It is widely used in podcasting, voiceover applications and speech recognition due to its high sensitivity, wide dynamic range and low noise performance.
The market for back electret has been growing at a steady pace owing to the increasing use of these microphones in podcasting.
Application Insights:
The other application segment includes telephones, computers, stage and studio applications. The computer application segment accounted for the largest market share of over 40% in 2017. This is attributed to the increasing use of electret microphones in laptops and notebooks by consumers worldwide. Furthermore, several manufacturers are focusing on developing innovative products for online audio conferencing with high-quality sound output that uses little power but with good quality sound output. This trend is expected to drive the demand further over the coming years as more people start using these devices at home or office along with their smartphones or tablets.
Studio applications dominated the global market accounting for a revenue share of around 49% in 2017 owing to rising demand from recording studios.
Regional Analysis:
North America dominated the global market in 2017 owing to the high demand for electret microphones from major application segments such as recording studios, live sound reinforcement, and computer gaming. The region is expected to maintain its dominance over the forecast period due to increasing adoption of electret condenser microphones by music composers and audio engineers for recording studio applications.
Asia Pacific is anticipated to witness significant growth over the coming years owing to rising demand from emerging countries such as China and India. Increasing penetration of consumer electronics devices including smartphones and laptops with built-in mic has been driving product demand in this region. Moreover, growing popularity of online video streaming services such as Netflix™ & Amazon Prime Video™ has been fueling regional product sales across various application segments such as stage performance, voiceover/audiobooks, conference calls/group meetings etc.; all these factors are likely drive overall industry growth in Asia Pacific during the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for smartphones and other portable electronic devices
- Rising trend of voice-activated devices and artificial intelligence
- Proliferation of virtual and augmented reality applications
- Growing popularity of smart home technologies
- Increasing number of public address systems in schools, hospitals, stadiums, etc
