Research and Markets has released a new report titled "MEMS Microphone: Better Communication through Better Listening".
MEMS microphones are extensively used in consumer devices, including laptops and mobiles. Currently, increasing number of mobile phones is utilizing two or more MEMS microphones mainly for Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). These MEMS microphones are also widely used in other consumer devices such as camcorders and laptops. Shortly, mobile phones will use an array of MEMS microphones to deliver multidirectional functionality.
MEMS microphones are used primarily in the mobile phone market. iphone 4 and other smart phones feature MEMS microphones. As a result, Yole predicts fast growth of the market from 2011 to 2016. Shipments of MEMS microphones are estimated to exceed 1 billion units by 2013.
Currently, Knowles has captured more than 80% market share. Competitor companies, such as Hosiden, AAC Acoustic Technologies and BSE are wondering how to compete with Knowles.
The report gives an overview of technologies, patents and packaging of MEMS microphone. It provides information on important market metrics and dynamics of MEMS microphone market. It enables users to achieve a deep knowledge of MEMS microphone value chain and focuses on existing and potential markets.
Some of the important topics include MEMS microphone definition and technologies overview, MEMS microphone industry supply chain and main players, MEMS microphone applications and market by application, and technology evolution and trends.
