Market Trends of NA Acoustic Sensors Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the North America Acoustic Sensors Market according to our research experts:
Telecommunications is Expected to Drive Market Growth
- The telecommunications industry is the largest consumer of acoustic sensors, primarily driven by smartphones and base stations. With telecom companies setting up more and more towers to support the ever-increasing customer base, base stations are increasing. Moreover, most of the telephone devices and other similar gadgets already have microphones/speakers installed, which support acoustic-sensing applications with a relatively low deployment cost.
- High bandwidth is required for real-time video streaming. A hybrid approach that blends acoustic and optical communications can assist overcome this barrier by providing high-quality real-time video streaming. Acoustic keeps the network topology and transmission control on a "thin" channel. When the optical channel fails, the acoustic channel is utilized to provide still frames of video.
- Owing to the increasing usage of smartphones, tablets, and other electronic devices in developed and developing economies such as the United States Canada, acoustic sensors are expected to witness growth during the forecast period.

Growing Need For Surface Acoustic Wave In The Consumer Electronics
- Due to increased smartphone sales and increased use of developing RF technologies in consumer electronics, sales of acoustic sensors and other associated equipment have seen a large increase in the region, broadening the breadth of the market analyzed.
- The increasing manufacturing of LTE, 4G, particularly 5G smartphones, presents significant growth potential for Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW). As they separate radio signals from the many spectrum bands utilized by various cellphones to receive and send information, RF filters are becoming typical components in these devices. In the sub-2.7 GHz frequency region, new enhanced SAW filters provide a higher performance solution than competitive BAW filters, resulting in more development prospects as 5G technology emerges.
- The majority of well-known smartphone manufacturers, including Apple, Samsung, and LG, use RF filters in their latest 5G devices. SAW sensor advancements also provide for more power-efficient RF routes in 4G and 5G multimode mobile devices at a cheaper cost than competing commercial alternatives with comparable performance metrics for original equipment makers (OEMs). Many academics are also looking at the possibilities of using the SAW MEMS microphone as a wireless passive accelerometer and pressure sensor.
