Market Growth Factors
The growing use of smart devices is driving the market
Customers with connected home gadgets can voice-order via smart speakers. As a result, the most important and typical electronics in smart homes are speaker systems, which serve as their central hub. The built-in smart home hub makes it simple to connect to smart devices and carry out tasks like changing the lighting, streaming music, and doing internet searches. In order to experience 3-D audio, newly launched gadgets include Dolby Atmos. The market is predicted to develop as a result of the increasing popularity of consumer electronics and smart devices.
Demand for high-quality audio output is growing
Increased demand for high-quality music, particularly among audiophiles, is one of the main factors propelling the expansion of high-definition audio products. The worldwide demand for high-definition audio products has also grown due to the increasing demand for high-quality wireless audio technologies and gadgets. The local industry, the commercial sector, and niche industries like security services and military departments are some places where such high-quality wireless audio devices are needed. The market will expand because of the rising demand for high-quality audio, influenced by changes in media consumption habits and increased accessibility to audio equipment.
Market Restraining Factors
Market’s expansion is constrained by noise pollution caused by amplifiers
Amplifiers can enhance both the desired signal and any input noise. The signal-to-noise ratio will suffer due to this noise, which may be interference from the outside world or thermal noise from the amplifier’s internal components. While amplifying, an amplifier only makes the input signal stronger, regardless of the presence of information or noise. Due to their propensity to introduce hum from unexpected temperature changes or stray magnetic and electric fields, amplifiers are the source of this noise or other disturbance. The output of a receiver system is affected by noise, which also affects its sensitivity. This may result in negatively impacting the perception of user. Thus, the market will slow down due to noise interference from amplifiers.
Class Outlook
Based on class, the market is fragmented into type A, type B, type AB, type D, and others. In 2022, the type D segment registered the highest revenue share in the market. Concerns regarding power consumption are brought up by the prevalence of portable mobile audio equipment, such as cell phones, MP3 players, and small docking stations. Less electricity must be used to ensure that batteries last as long as possible.
Channel Outlook
By channel, the market is categorised into mono, 2-channel, 4-channel, and others. The mono channel segment procured a promising growth rate in the market in 2022. A single microphone and a single loudspeaker are widely used for monophonic sound recording. One signal path is combined and transmitted for both headphones and several loudspeakers. No loudness, arrival time, or phase information is present in the signal to replicate or approximatively represent directional indicators.
End Use Outlook
On the basis of end use device, the market is segmented into smartphones, television sets, desktops and laptops, automotive infotainment systems, tablets, home audio systems, and professional audio systems. The home audio systems segment acquired a substantial revenue share in the market in 2022. Because they generate less heat and have longer battery life, class D amplifiers are used more frequently in portable devices like smart speakers, soundbars, and headphones in home audio systems.
Regional Outlook
Region wise, the market is analysed across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. In 2022, the Asia Pacific region led the market by generating highest revenue share in the market. The rising disposable income of consumers in the region, rising consumer electronics device adoption, booming infrastructure, and rising technological advancement are some of the factors driving the growth of the market. The Asia Pacific market is expanding due to increased consumer electronics and automotive investments. The consumption of these amplifiers by automotive players in this region is also attributed to the growth of the market in APAC.
