Global Class D Audio Amplifier Market Size, Competition by Manufacturers, Region and technology Analysis to 2022

on

Global class D audio amplifier market is expected to rise at a positive CAGR in the predicted period. Layout and circuit design plays a pivotal role in lessening or producing distortion in Class-D audio power amplifiers. There are some interesting design and challenges over the traditional class AB- amplifiers. Class-D designs are 100% efficient over other amplifiers and as the power increases the high power it gains. More importantly, it minimizes heatsink requirements drastically. Class-D amplifiers on the other hand enables its operation in switching output devices between on and off. This type of amplifier significantly reduces the power losses in the output devices and the audio signal is used to modulate a PWM carrier signal that drives the output devices being the last stage with a low pass filter to eliminate the high frequency.
Overall, a class D audio amplifier can have many different forms, some can have digital inputs whereas some can have analog inputs. Commercially, a class D audio amplifier caters to multiple purposes. Factors such as extensive use of class D audio amplifier in car stereos, consumer electronic devices, smartphones, tablets and televisions. Also, features such as high efficiency and low heat dissipation is anticipated in contributing to the market growth. However, factors such as interface integration in various devices is expected to hinder the market growth in the predicted period.


Based on type, the class D audio amplifier market is segmented into mono channel, 2-channel, 4-channel and 6-channel. 2-channel class D audio amplifier is expected to be the dominating segment during the predicted period. Based on device, the class D audio amplifier market is segmented into handsets, home entertainment systems, televisions, multimedia sound cases, in-car audio systems. Based on end-use, the class D audio amplifier market is segmented into healthcare, automotive, industrial & retail, consumer electronics and telecommunication.
Geographically, the class D audio amplifier market spans North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle-East and Africa. APAC regions are expected to expand and grow during the predicted period since there is a huge demand for consumer electronics and automobiles from regions such as China, India, Japan and South Korea. North America and Europe are expected to rise at a higher CAGR in the predicted period owing to rising demand for efficiency.
