Digital Signal Processor Market Highlights

The global Digital Signal Processor (DSP) market is accounted to register a CAGR of 7.90% during the forecast period and is estimated to reach USD 46603.5 million by 2032.

A significant opportunity exists for the DSP market as smart homes and Internet of Things (IoT) devices increase in popularity. The DSP chips in smart homes and IoT devices process and analyze various types of signals, enabling intelligent functionality and seamless connectivity. DSP technologies benefit from the proliferation of these devices and the expanding scope of smart home and IoT applications.

Smart home devices, such as smart speakers, thermostats, security systems, lighting controls, and home appliances, have gained significant popularity. These devices heavily rely on DSP chips to process audio signals, recognize voice commands, perform audio enhancement, and enable seamless connectivity with other devices in the smart home ecosystem. In addition to healthcare, agriculture, transportation, and energy management, the IoT industry continues to grow. DSP chips are required to analyze signals from various sensors, extract meaningful information, and enable real-time decision making in IoT devices.

IoT devices often incorporate multiple sensors to capture data related to temperature, humidity, motion, light, and more. DSP chips play a crucial role in processing and filtering this sensor data, extracting relevant information, and facilitating data-driven actions. Smart home and IoT devices are increasingly leveraging real-time analytics and machine learning capabilities. DSP chips can efficiently handle the processing requirements of these algorithms, enabling real-time decision-making and predictive capabilities.

DSP chips enable efficient wireless communication protocols, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, and cellular connectivity, which are integral to smart home and IoT devices. These chips facilitate seamless data transfer, device-to-device communication, and integration with cloud platforms.

While performing multiple sensing tasks with a DSP-based solution, power can be reduced. Low-power DSPs listen for voice commands all the time and wake up a main processor when necessary. It can also execute intelligent context awareness through a learning process and pre-defined profiles. The DSP requirements further increase with the introduction of biometric sensors. With the CEVA-TL410 DSP core, sensors can be merged continuously, voice triggers, facial triggers, and Bluetooth Low Energy devices consumed at less than 150 uW. It can be embedded in a standalone sensor hub type chip device or it can be incorporated inside an audio codec chip.

Segment Analysis

The global Digital Signal Processor (DSP) market has been segmented based on Type, Category, DSP Core, Application, and Industry.

Based on Type, the global Digital Signal Processor (DSP) market segmentation includes Generic or Application Processors and Specialized Audio Edge Processor. The Generic or Application Processors segment held the majority share in 2022, contributing around ~72.4% to the market revenue. As the name suggests, An application processor is a subset of the microprocessor. The term "application processor" originated in the cellular sector. It refers to a chip in a mobile device that is used for the primary processing of cellular phones and other smart features. In contrast, background functions such as running the display, processing wireless communications, and managing power drain are handled by chips. Mobile application processors are often systems on a chip (SoC) that include the intellectual property (IP) of one or more processor cores as well as various ancillary activities. Typically, application processors run a mobile operating system environment, which is essentially a specialised RTOS, as well as application software. There are numerous application processor vendors. Nvidia's five-core Tegra CPU, Qualcomm's Snapdragon, and Samsung's Exynos series are among the most well-known. A MediaTek CPU is used in many low-cost smartphones. Non-smartphone mobile devices, such as the Kindle Fire tablet, employ an OMAP (open multi-media applications platform) application processor from Texas Instruments.  

Based on Category, the global Digital Signal Processor (DSP) market segmentation includes Fixed Point Processors and Floating Point Processors. The Fixed Point Processors segment held the majority share in 2022 contributing around ~69.0% to the market revenue.
