MEMS microphones are expected to be shipped in great numbers over the forecast period as a result.

Category-wise Insights

Piezoelectric MEMS Microphones are the Key Product Type of Animal MEMS Microphones

Piezoelectric provides a great SNR due to the usage of scandium-doped AIN film, which also benefits in sound dampening. Among the key roles of piezoelectric products is that they contribute to regular productivity and are significantly less prone to degradation even after extended use.

The piezoelectric market is expected to gain pace over the projected period due to the high demand for piezoelectric era-primarily based microphones to be employed in audio devices such as portable intelligent speakers and automotive infotainment systems. As a result, piezoelectric MEMS microphones are likely to increase rapidly in the future years.

The Start-up Ecosystem in the MEMS Microphones Market

SensiBel AS (Oslo, Norway), a startup developing MEMS microphones, has raised €15 million (roughly USD 16 million) in a funding round that was co-founded by Trumpf Ventures. Other investors included Skagerak Capital, Investinor, The European Council's EIC Fund, and SINTEF Venture IV.

• SensiBel was established in 2016 and measures the motion of a silicon-based membrane using a laser and an integrated interferometer. Compared to standard MEMS microphones, the method significantly improves performance.
