Audio Codec Market Analysis

An audio codec is a piece of hardware or software that encodes or decodes audio. An audio codec is a software-based mechanism for compressing and decompressing digital data streams. The goal of this operation is to reduce the number of bits in an audio file while maintaining its accuracy and quality. It also contributes to a reduction in the need for storage space and transmission bandwidth. Audio codec integrated circuits are used in mobile phones, tablets, vehicles, home theatre systems, PCs, and gaming systems (ICs). The audio codec market was worth US$ 6.2 billion in 2020, and it is expected to be worth US$ 9.0 billion by 2027. Over the forecast period, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.4%.

The smartphone market has grown significantly in recent years, and this trend is expected to continue in the near future. Audio codecs are one of the most important components used in the manufacture of mobile devices. Audio codecs have an impact on customers who listen to music with headphones, earbuds, or bluetooth speakers. Furthermore, Audio Codecs are widely used to improve audio quality in a variety of applications, including television systems. The demand for televisions is increasing rapidly and significantly. Manufacturers are focusing on adding features to current televisions such as Wi-Fi connectivity, internet access, and cameras with facial recognition technology and recording options. As a result, demand for such cutting-edge equipment is expected to rise. As a result, the Audio codec industry will grow in lockstep with the demand and supply for television sets.
