MICROPHONES, MICROSPEAKERS AND AUDIO ICs ARE AT THE HEART OF THE EBULLIENT AUDIO ECOSYSTEM

With the emergence of virtual assistants like Alexa, the corner, potentially disrupting the existing Cortana, Siri, OK Google and Bixby, microphones equilibrium between MEMS microphones and ECM. are becoming mandatory as the central voice command hub. There is continuous improvement In the meantime, micro-speakers are also growing of audio quality including voice recognition, thanks to classical dynamic speakers and balanced noise cancellation, wind cancellation and person armature technologies, both valued at $8.7B in 2016. identification. There has also been a multiplication These two technologies will compete in the future of platforms embedding microphones, including with MEMS speakers, which became a realistic smartwatches, hearables and cars. The microphone prospect several years ago and will soon be available market will therefore expand continuously and on the market. Yole expects market entry for MEMS reach more than 8 billion units by 2022, with an technology within two years with a potential market 11% CAGR. New technologies are also around value reaching $100M in 2022. Miniaturization and ACOUSTIC MEMS AND AUDIO SOLUTIONS

A MARKET TARGETED BY GIANTS

Since the early 2000s the microphone MEMS die competitors Goertek and AAC, who are particularly market has been dominated by two giants. Infineon and aggressive on price and delivering products with Sony supplied more than 4 billion die chips last year to improving performance. Newcomers like VesperMEMS the top three MEMS microphone suppliers: Knowles, are on track to take share in this market thanks to Goertek and AAC. This represents more than 70% performance that is well suited for growing markets like of the market. This ranking has been established for wearables and mobile. At the other end of the audio a few years, but the market shares have been shifting chain, the microspeaker market is quite fragmented. quite rapidly. Knowles has been the undisputed leader There are lots of players, coming mainly from Asia, with since 2003, but is now challenged by its Chinese several companies being both involved in microphone
