A class D audio amplifier is basically a switching amplifier or PWM
amplifier. In this type of amplifier, the switches are either fully on or fully
off, which significantly reduces the power losses in the output devices and
give efficiencies of 90-95%. Class D amplifiers take many different forms; some
can have digital inputs and some can have analog inputs. They operate by
rapidly switching back and forth between the supply rails, being fed by a
modulator using pulse width, pulse density, or related techniques to encode the
audio input into a pulse train.
According to Triton Market Research’s report, the Global Class D Audio Amplifier Market was valued at $2611.46 million in 2021 and is expected to reach $5176.17 million by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 10.56% during the forecast period 2022-2028.

MARKET PERFORMANCE – DRIVERS,
CHALLENGES, AND TRENDS
The increasing popularity of electronic vehicles
and the growing applications of class D audio amplifiers in smartphones are the
key growth drivers of the market. Instead of giving linear gain as in other amplifier classes, a Class D
audio amplifier uses pulse width modulation (PWM), in which transistors are
operated as switches. Because the switches are either fully on or totally off,
power losses are drastically reduced, thus allowing for an efficiency of more
than 90%. In comparison to lower amplifier classes, this high efficiency
minimizes the need for heat sinking, resulting in smaller size, weight, and
cost. As a result, class D audio amplifiers are becoming more common in
electronic automobiles.
On the other hand, the high fragmentation of the
market and the limited use of class D audio amplifiers due to high-frequency
noise generation are the main challenges faced by the class D audio amplifier
market. Countermeasures
against the noise created by class D audio amplifiers’ high-speed switching are
critical. As a result, the sound clarity is slightly less crisp than with
larger amplifiers, but not enough for the average person to notice. Switching
amplifiers are class D amplifiers. The signal is either on or off, rather than
being constant as in an analog system. Sound quality is a problem as a result
of this functionality. Designers must sometimes utilize complicated switching
systems and filters to ensure that the complete frequency range of the sound is
reproduced without distortion.
However,
the high demand for consumer electronics is beneficial for the growth of the
studied market. Class D
audio amplifiers are used in almost all consumer electronic devices, ranging
from microwave ovens, televisions, headphone drivers, smartphones, and home
theatre systems to theatrical and concert reinforcement systems. A class D
amplifier works on the pulse width modulation technique. These amplifiers are
extremely efficient and waste little or no power. The increase in the use
of class D amplifiers has grown in consumer electronics.

SEGMENTATION ANALYSIS – CLASS
D AUDIO AMPLIFIER MARKET:
• Market by Type
o Mono
Channel
o 2-Channel
o 4-Channel
o 6-Channel
o Other
Types
The 2-channel amplifier type is estimated to progress
with the highest CAGR during the forecast period. 2-channel amplifiers are stereo, which means
they have a left and right output. This is crucial for both staging and
tweaking. These amplifiers can play the whole spectrum of sound that people can
hear, which is typically between 20 and 20,000 Hz.
• Market by Application
o Television
o Home
Audio Systems
o Desktops
& Laptops
o Smartphones
o Automotive
Infotainment Systems
o Other
Applications
Automotive infotainment systems leads the market
in terms of revenue. The
hardware/software systems that combine multimedia enjoyment, driving
information and communication, are considered automotive infotainment. Along
with the expansion of smartphone communication with automobiles, the Internet
of Things (IoT), and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), automotive
infotainment is likely to become increasingly complicated and a major priority
in the future.
• Market
by End-user
o Automotive
o Consumer
Electronics
o Other
End-users
Automotive is the fastest-growing end-user
segment with the highest CAGR. Because of their small size, class D audio amplifiers are ideal for
usage in automobiles. In that small size, their increased efficiency over a
standard class AB audio amplifier keeps the heat generated in the system to a
minimum. As a result, one of the key reasons why many vehicle audio experts,
manufacturers, and engineers are considering switching to class D from class AB
is the modest space need.
COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE:
The class D audio amplifier market by company profile helps dive into
data about the key players in this industry. The strategic initiatives for each
of the companies considered have been covered in detail.

FAQs:
Q 1) Why have class AB audio
amplifiers been replaced with class D audio amplifiers over decades?
The most common audio power amplifier operates in the class AB mode. It
provides the greatest amount of output power with the least amount of
distortion. However, these amplifiers are gradually being replaced by class D
amplifiers, especially in automotive applications, because class D amplifiers
are switches that are more efficient and produce less heat than their class AB
equivalents.
Q 2) Which are the most
relevant benefits of class D audio amplifiers?
High efficiency of more than 90% and less power consumption and lower
heat generation are the most relevant benefits of class D audio amplifiers.
Q 3) What is the forecast
period of the class D audio amplifier market report?
The forecast period of the class D audio
amplifier market is 2022-2028 as assessed by Triton Market Research.
