The Digital Signal Processors Market is expected to grow from USD 17.327 billion in 2025 to USD 24.382 billion in 2030, at a CAGR of 7.07%.
A digital signal processor, commonly known as a DSP, is a specialized microprocessor that has the capability to process digital data by mathematical manipulation to process, analyze, and interpret the data contained in them. DSP process the given data in real-time, having high data throughput, providing desirable and accurate performance, ensuring repeatability, and can be reprogrammable using the software. The prime reason driving the market growth is increasing usage across several industry verticals owing to the booming demand for processors. Increasing disposable income coupled with the rising usage of smart devices has significantly surged the usage of DSP, contributing significantly to the market growth. However, high power consumption acts as an impediment to the market. Nevertheless, innovation in the industry is anticipated to increase new opportunities for the market and tap new growth prospects.
One of the prime industries that are expected to contribute significantly toward the market escalation of digital signal processors is consumer electronics. Certain consumer electronics have become a necessity for the world and have witnessed a significant surge in users. BankMyCell reports that the number of mobile phone users globally has surged significantly from 4.30 billion users in 2016 to 4.88 billion users in 2021. The rise in disposable income, advanced product launches, and fall in the price of basic mobile devices are prime growth factors. Within the mobile phone industry, a large portion of consumers in the market use smartphones. The number of smartphones increased from 2.5 billion in 2016 to 3.8 billion in 2021. This number is further anticipated to increase in the future. Mobile devices are the key employer of digital signal processors, and their growth is expected to surge the market size for DSPs. Furthermore, technological advancement in the industry is predicted to open up new growth prospects.
An increase in the number of other smart devices, such as smart TVs, smartwatches, and smart Tablets is also projected to showcase lucrative growth potential. With an increased standard of living and preference towards a tech-savvy lifestyle, consumers are increasing usage of these devices that support the market growth.
Based on industry verticals, the automotive, aerospace, and defence industries are projected to show a promising growth rate in the digital signal processors market during the forecasted period. robust growth in demand coupled with an increase in market adoption of DSPs is expected to increase the market scope. Manufacturing automotive has a stable market while that of aerospace and defence is growing at a noteworthy rate. Data from International Organization for Motor Vehicle manufacturers shows stable production of motor vehicles around the world, with fluctuation with respect to other factors. However, data from the World Bank database shows that tourism has been increasing at a significant rate that supports the aviation industry's demand for aero vehicles and drives demand for DSPs. Lucrative growth in these industries is expected to support the market for digital signal processors.
