Microphone Companies

The global microphone market is projected to grow from USD 2.88 billion in 2025 to USD 3.98 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 6.7%. The demand for microphones is increasing rapidly due to the widespread adoption of voice-enabled devices, smart assistants, and wearable devices. Rising use in smartphones, laptops, and true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds fuels growth, and the increasing integration into automotive systems for voice control and noise cancellation applications. Microphones support diagnostics, monitoring, and communication solutions in industrial and medical sectors. The rise of remote work, virtual meetings, and content creation has further boosted demand. Additionally, advances in MEMS microphone technology offer better performance, miniaturization, and lower power consumption, making them ideal for modern, compact, and connected devices across multiple industries.

Some key players in the microphone market include Knowles Electronics LLC (US), Goertek (China), TDK Corporation (Japan), Infineon Technologies AG (Germany), and STMicroelectronics (Switzerland). These players have incorporated various organic and inorganic growth strategies, including collaborations, product launches, and partnerships, to strengthen their international footprint and capture a more significant share of the microphone market. These organic and inorganic strategies have allowed market players to expand their reach across geographies by offering microphones.

In June 2024, TDK Corporation announced the global availability of its InvenSense SmartSound T5848 I²S microphones. These microphones are designed to support intelligent keyword recognition, voice commands, and sound detection with ultra-low power consumption.

Similarly, in June 2023, TDK Corporation partnered with Syntiant. Syntiant has elected the company’s latest low-power T5838 and T5837 digital PDM MEMS microphones as a microphone for low-power edge AI application processors.

Knowles Electronics, LLC is a leading manufacturer of specialized electronic components, designing parts that perform critical and unique functions for advanced technologies. With a strong emphasis on extreme reliability, custom engineering, and scalable manufacturing, the company delivers solutions across medtech, defense, and industrial markets. Knowles Corporation has strategically shifted its focus from commoditized consumer markets to high-margin, reliability-critical industrial sectors. This transformation involved divesting its Consumer MEMS Microphone business to Syntiant in 2024, allowing Knowles to exit a competitive, lower-margin segment and redeploy resources toward growth areas. The acquisition of Cornell Dubilier expanded its portfolio of precision devices to include high-performance capacitors for medical technology, aerospace, military, and electrification applications.

STMicroelectronics NV designs, develops, manufactures, and markets a broad range of semiconductor products, including discrete and standard components, application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), as well as full and semi-custom devices for analog, digital, and mixed-signal applications. STMicroelectronics is a prominent player in the MEMS microphone market, offering a broad portfolio of high-performance analog and digital microphones and acoustic sensors. These products are designed for a wide range of applications, including smartphones, tablets, wearables, smart speakers, automotive systems, and IoT devices. The company markets these solutions primarily through its AM&S segment. It focuses on high-growth markets, including automotive (EVs, ADAS), industrial automation, and IoT, leveraging its strength in power electronics and microcontrollers. STMicroelectronics NV invests heavily in R&D and strategic customer partnerships to co-develop next-gen solutions.
