Global MEMS Microphone Market 2011-2015 - Market Research Report

The Global MEMS Microphone market is witnessing an increase in the emerging applications of MEMS microphones in the Healthcare segment. MEMS microphones are experiencing more applications in the Healthcare segment such as monitoring blood flow, heartbeat, and lung function along with the rapid improvement in MEMS microphone technology. Thus, the increased application of MEMS microphones in the Healthcare segment is an emerging trend in the market.

One of the major growth driving factors of the Global MEMS Microphone market is the reduction in the size of MEMS microphones. MEMS microphones are smaller in size with more functionality than the traditional ECMs. Its smaller size makes it preferable because it takes up much less space in embedded electronic devices. Another added advantage of the MEMS microphone apart from its smaller size is its robustness and low power consumption, which makes it more efficient in providing high-quality output. MEMS microphone vendors are focusing on reducing the size even more as this is one of the major growth drivers of the Global MEMS Microphone market.

The Global MEMS Microphone market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 22 percent over the period 2011–2015. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is the reduction in size of MEMS microphones. The Global MEMS Microphone market has also been witnessing emerging applications in the healthcare segment. However, the high cost of MEMS microphones could pose a challenge to the growth of this market.
