North America Wireless Microphone Market Scope and Segmentation

Market Definition

A wireless microphone, sometimes known as a cordless microphone, is a microphone that does not have a physical cable connecting it to the sound recording or amplifying equipment it is used with. It features a tiny, battery-powered radio transmitter built into the microphone body that sends the audio signal from the microphone via radio waves to a nearby receiver device, which recovers the audio. The receiver device is connected to the other audio equipment through a cable. The transmitter is housed in the body of one type of portable microphone.

North America Wireless Microphone Market Dynamics

Drivers

• Rise in Wireless Microphone Technology

Growing automation in the automotive sector has increased the demand for various types of wireless microphone-related products, which are used in driver assistance systems, controllers, power-integrated devices, telematics and Global Positioning Systems (GPS). These devices are widely used in Electric Vehicles (EVs) and autonomous vehicles. Hence, the rise in demand for electric cars is estimated to spur product adoption over the forecast period. With the advent of connected technologies, the manufacturing industry is rapidly transforming.

• Increase in Adoption of Next-Generation Consumer Electronics

Consumer electronics are gadgets that can connect, share and interact with users and other smart devices. Its smaller size and higher computing power of a few gigabytes make it different from general consumer electronic devices in the market. Continuous investments by industry players in R&D to develop new smart consumer electronic products, including smartphones, smart wearables and smart homes, increase the demand for wireless microphones.

• Growing Demand for the Soft Electronic Components

Soft electronics are an emerging class of electronic devices that are flexible and stretchable. Soft and conformable electronics are emerging rapidly and are envisioned as the future of next-generation electronic devices where devices can be readily deployed in various environments, such as on-body, on-skin, or biomedical implants. Modern-day electronics require electrical conductors as the fundamental building block for stretchable electronic devices and systems.

Opportunities

• Growing Deployment of Microphones for Various Applications

The development of advanced technologies, automation and machine control systems depends on the ready availability of high-performance and high-reliability components. The procurement of wireless microphone systems for various environmental applications requires a high degree of engineering experience and expertise provided in the form of technical support to ensure technical compliance with various project requirements. As wireless microphone manufacturers invest in components that are related to high-end electronics, there comes a major impact on the supply chain and it is becoming possible to implement macro-scale optimization.

• Design and Complexity Challenges for the Development

Different electronic components are required for the manufacturing of wireless microphones. Consumer demand for advanced electronic devices has raised the requirement for wireless microphones. Manufacturing companies mostly get these components, such as ICs, semiconductors, PCBs and others, from their supplier as they mostly give those discounts and provide the products in bulk.

Restraints/Challenges

• Limitations in Terms of Sensitivity, Noise and Power Consumption

Wireless microphones are prone to interference, noise, drop-outs and many other RF problems. These problems can be disastrous for both live productions and installed systems. Everyone can recall when a wireless mic suffered static or intermittent drop-outs during a live event. Additionally, signal blockages can occur with wireless microphones due to barriers in your venue area or the distance between the transmitter and receiver.

Microphones generate extremely little electricity, which makes sense given how light the moving elements must be to follow sound waves precisely. When exposed to a set sound pressure level, the microphone sensitivity remains the same and it produces a certain signal. However, a wireless microphone tends to consume a large quantity of power and the time required for charging a wireless microphone is considerably higher, which is a major drawback for the market.

• Increase in Metal Prices Hampering the Overall Component Production Costs

Wireless microphones contain a variety of metals irrespective of the products. The electronic devices environment daily is built with many components containing gold, silver, copper and palladium metals. From cell phones to modems and computers, electronics find a new lease on life in the marketplace. Each metal has special characteristics, ranging from superior conductivity to unmatched insulating properties, making them perfect for electronic components. Metals are characterized as critical when their supply rates are low compared with increasing demand. As the demand for metals increases, the price of certain also increases. Copper is used for its excellent conductivity and malleability (the ability to be shaped and mashed). Nickel, chromium, aluminum, lead, silver and tin are also used in various industries. These metals go into components such as resistors, capacitors and transducers.

On the supply side, TSMC, Samsung and Intel, there are very few companies worldwide that can do advanced processes. Once demand surges, they are overwhelmed by this kind of sweet burden. On the demand side, almost all electronic products need embedded microphones, such as Sony PS5 game consoles, Bitcoin mining machines (graphics GPU), MCU units on cars, mobile phone chips (SOC), new energy vehicle power chips (IGBT), as well as consumer Bluetooth headsets, Wi-Fi, drones Chips and others.

Recent Developments

• In January 2022, HARMAN International announced the launch of JBL’s PartyBox speakers with two new digital wireless microphones. This will help the company to enhance the performance of the products and increase the efficiency of the existing products, which will help to attract new customers
• In December 2021, Audio-Technica announced a partnership with Dorna Sports that confirm Audio-Technica 8.0 microphone concept as core component of MotoGP immersive audio remote production initiative. This partnership helped in improving the recognition of the company
