Wireless Microphone Market Forecasts to 2028 – Global Analysis By Type (Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) Microphones, Electret Condenser Microphones (ECMS) and Other Types), Sound Direction (Unidirectional, Omnidirectional, BiDirectional and Cardoid), Frequency (Very High Frequency (VHF), Ultra-high Frequency (UHF), 2.4 GHz and Other Frequencies), Technology (Radio Frequency Channel and Radio Frequency Band), End User and By Geography
According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Wireless Microphone Market is accounted for $1.90 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $3.54 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 10.9% during the forecast period. A wireless microphone, also referred to as a cordless microphone, is a microphone that is used with sound recording or amplifying equipment but does not physically connect to it with a cable. It has a small, battery-operated radio transmitter integrated into the microphone body that transmits audio signals via radio waves to a nearby receiver device, which then receives and processes the audio. Through a cable, the reception device is joined to the other audio equipment. One kind of portable microphone has the transmitter built right into the body.
According to Forbes, in 2021, Saudi Arabia invested USD 64 billion in the entertainment industry to aid in turning the country into a top-tier destination for the industry, which is expected to create lucrative opportunities for the market.
Market Dynamics:
Driver:
Increasing developments of advanced microphones
The demand for the product is increasing as more technologically advanced microphones are developed and used in a variety of applications, including those found in large retail outlets, hotels, restaurants, and bars, offices, conference rooms, sports stadiums, and public gatherings like concerts and stage performances. This is expected to drive the Wireless Microphone market during the forecast period.
Restraint:
Inadequate availability of raw material
The lack of raw materials to supply the demand for microphone production is limiting market expansion. These microphones' raw materials include magnets, voice coils, and cables. The production process in the market may be hampered by a shortage of these materials.
Opportunity:
Increase in adoption of next generation consumer electronics
Consumer electronics are electrical devices with connectivity, sharing, and interaction capabilities with their owners and other intelligent devices. It differs from other consumer electronics products now on the market due to its smaller size and better computer power of a few gigabytes. The demand for wireless microphones is rising as a result of ongoing R&D expenditures made by market participants for the creation of new smart consumer electronics products, such as smartphones, smart wearables, and smart homes.
Threat:
Limitations in terms of sensitivity, noise, and power consumption
Wireless microphones are prone to interference, noise, drop-outs, and a variety of other RF issues. For both installed systems and live shows, these issues have the potential to be disastrous. Very little electricity is produced by microphones, which makes sense considering how light the moving parts must be in order to correctly track sound waves. The microphone's sensitivity is fixed at a given sound pressure level, and a particular signal is generated. However, a wireless microphone tends to use a lot of power and takes a long time to charge, which is a significant disadvantage for the market.
Covid-19 Impact:
The worldwide supply networks had numerous issues as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Numerous nationwide lockdowns continued to restrict or even stop the movement of finished goods and raw materials, slowing down production. The pandemic did not, however, raise any brand-new supply chain issues. It revealed previously unknown vulnerabilities in multiple industries, and many businesses have experienced labour shortages and losses as a result of COVID-19. However, it has sped up and made existing supply chain issues worse.
The clip-on is expected to be the largest during the forecast period
The clip-on segment is estimated to have a lucrative growth, as they are mostly utilized for hands-free applications in theatre, television, and public speaking. The growth could be attributable to the portability of clip-on microphones. Furthermore, while giving a speech or participating in public speaking events, these devices enable users to free up their hands. The clip-on wireless microphone makes use of the transmitter's enhanced RF performance, wide tuning, and high-density mode to enable wireless digital audio.
The 2.4 GHz segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period
The 2.4 GHz segment is anticipated to witness the fastest CAGR growth during the forecast period, due to the hassle-free setup and restricted channel bandwidth it offers. Compared to VHF and UHF, the 2.4 GHz frequency offers a higher quality audio stream. The key benefit of 2.4 GHz for wireless systems is that it can be used in numerous nations and regions without requiring a licence. The use of 2.4 GHz wireless frequency systems would be influenced by a number of factors, including those listed above.
Region with highest share:
North America region is projected to hold the largest market share during the forecast period owing to the largest music market in the world is located in North America. According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), the U.S. represents one-third of the global market for recorded music in terms of value. The American Federation of Musicians (AFM) or the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists are two of the major music unions that a large number of recording artists and performers in the United States are members of (AFTRA). Professional organisations like the Recording Academy, the American Composers Forum, role-based organisations like the Songwriters Guild of America, and genre-related organisations like the Gospel Music Association or the Americana Music Association exist in the nation.
Region with highest CAGR:
Asia Pacific is projected to have the highest CAGR over the forecast period, owing to the market's major players are concentrating on investing in R&D to create technologically superior and reasonably priced microphones for the APAC region. According to the IFPI's Global Music Report 2019, China was the seventh largest music recording market, while India was not even in the top ten, despite having the world's two largest populations. However, these days both nations are developing exponentially. Thus, a strong emphasis on the music business is anticipated to open up profitable market potential in the area.
