Microelectromechanical (MEM) Systems Speaker Global Market Report 2024

A microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) speaker utilizes MEMS technology to generate sound. This technology integrates mechanical elements, sensors, actuators, and electronics on a silicon substrate through microfabrication. MEMS speakers are designed to deliver high-quality audio output in a compact size, making them ideal for small electronic devices with limited space.

The primary types of MEMS speakers include piezoelectric, electrostatic, and thermoacoustic variants. Piezoelectric MEMS speakers utilize crystals that deform when subjected to electrical currents, producing sound waves. These speakers are commonly found in devices where size and power efficiency are crucial, such as smartphones and wearables. They are known for their high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and are applied in applications such as headsets and hearing aids.
