Advancements in communications, such as the rollout of 5G, are predicted to open up new application areas for analog to digital converters. The analog to digital converter (ADC) is integrated into 5G base stations for converting analog values into digital values for users’ benefit. Countries such as India, China, the US, Germany, and Brazil are experiencing a rise in the 5G trials. Further, ADCs are also used in the automotive sector and have applications in telematics systems and LiDAR. ADCs are required in myriad industries, such as semiconductor, automotive, telecommunication, and industrial. They are also used for imaging charge-coupled devices (CCD), including scanners, digital cameras, camcorders, and test instrumentation.

Analog to Digital Converter Market Overview

Analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) help convert data from analog signals received from environmental phenomena into digital signals. The entire conversion includes several steps, such as sampling, quantization, and coding. ADCs are the essential components as analog values must be converted to digital values for further processing. Various types of ADCs present in the market include simultaneous or flash ADCs, tracking-type ADCs, counter-type ADCs, successive approximation type ADCs, sigma-delta ADCs, and single-, dual-, and multi-slope ADCs. These converters find applications in digital signal processing (microcontrollers, TV tuner cards, digital storage oscilloscopes), scientific instruments (digital imaging systems, temperature sensors, radar systems), and digital audio (sound recording, digital audio workstations, and pulse-code modulation).

Analog to Digital Converter Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rise in Demand for Consumer Electronics to Favor the Market

The growing urbanization and rising disposable income have been the major enablers of the proliferation of the electronics industry. According to the US Bureau of Economic Analysis, in March 2023, disposable personal income (DPI) in the US rose by 0.5% in February 2023 compared to January 2023. The growth in people's disposable income contributes to the strong purchasing power, which bolsters the sales of television sets, microwaves, and other consumer electronics. Further, a rise in government initiatives to boost domestic production output plays a crucial role in boosting the electronic industry in different countries. According to the Ministry of Electronics & IT, in March 2023, Indian electronics manufacturing is expected to reach US$ 300 billion by 2025–2026. The government's strategic steps and initiatives favor the progress of the electronics industry. Under India’s National Policy on Electronics 2019 (NPE 2019), special schemes are introduced for large-scale electronics manufacturing.

The ever-increasing demand for consumer electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, gaming devices, AR/VR devices, and smart speakers is propelling the consumer electronics industry. ADCs are deployed in the most advanced electronics and applications. It helps convert the real-world input to a digital signal for processing and storage. The surging demand for audio ADCs in the manufacturing of consumer audio and home theatre systems is proliferating the analog to digital converter market growth.

IoT Applications

Sensors emerge as indispensable agents in the complex ecosystem of the Internet of Things (IoT), monitoring a wide range of physical properties such as temperature, humidity, pressure, light, motion, and many more. Most sensors provide analog signals that correlate to the physical phenomena they are supposed to measure. However, in order to effectively collect, analyze, and transmit sensor data over IoT networks, an analog signal must be converted into a digital format. This critical job is filled by Analog to digital converters (ADCs).
