The global Automotive Audio DSP Chipset market size is predicted to grow from US$ 967 million in 2025 to US$ 1413 million in 2031; it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% from 2025 to 2031.
A digital signal processor (DSP) is a specialized microprocessor chip, with its architecture optimized for the operational needs of digital signal processing. The car audio DSP chipset is a digital signal processor (DSP) integrated solution designed specifically for the in-vehicle environment.
Analysis of market drivers,
1. Upgraded smart cockpit experience
Demand for immersive audio:
Since electric vehicles have no engine noise, users are more sensitive to the acoustic experience in the car, and 70% of consumers list audio as a factor in their car purchase decision (Strategy Analytics data).
The penetration rate of DSPs that support Dolby Atmos and 3D sound is expected to reach 45% in 2030.
Multimodal interaction:
DSP integrates a voice processing unit (VPU) to achieve voice control + gesture recognition fusion interaction, and adapts to AR HUD navigation scenarios.
2. Expansion of the electric vehicle (EV) market
Quiet environment promotes audio upgrades:
EV sales have a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28%, driving a 3-fold increase in demand for high-end car audio systems (IHS Markit forecast).
DSP supports active noise reduction (ANC), which offsets tire noise/wind noise and becomes a standard feature of EVs.
3. Software Defined Vehicle (SDV) Trend
Agile iteration of audio functions:
Pushing audio algorithm updates (such as personalized EQ settings) through OTA to improve user stickiness, 60% of car companies plan to deploy upgradeable audio systems (McKinsey report).
DSP supports containerized architecture to achieve parallel processing of multiple applications with secure isolation.
4. Integrated electrical and electronic architecture (E/E)
Domain controller integration:
Audio DSP is integrated with cockpit SoC to reduce the number of ECUs by 30% and promote the development of central computing platform.
Support audio-video-navigation data fusion to achieve "scenario-based sound field" (such as automatic enhancement of low frequency in rainy day mode).
5. Regulatory and safety requirements
Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC):
Comply with ISO 11452 and other standards, DSP needs to have built-in digital filtering to suppress radio frequency interference.
Functional safety certification (ISO 26262): The audio system needs to meet ASIL-B level to ensure that emergency prompt sounds are played first.
6. Cost optimization pressure
Single-chip integration trend:
Integrate traditional discrete audio processing modules (such as AMP+ADC+DSP) into SoC, reducing BOM cost by 25%.
28nm/16nm process popularization: unit computing power cost drops by 18% annually, pushing DSP down to entry-level models.
Competition landscape and technology trends
Top manufacturers layout: TI (Jacinto), Analog Devices (SHARC), NXP (i.MX series) dominate the market, and domestic manufacturers (such as Hengxuan Technology and Rockchip) focus on the cost-effective track.
Technology integration: AI noise suppression (such as CEVA's NeuPro DSP), ultrasonic gesture control, millimeter wave radar data linkage (realizing "safety warning sound field").
Summary: The automotive audio DSP market is driven by the popularization of EV, intelligent cockpit, and software-defined trends. Chinese manufacturers need to break through the AEC-Q100 certification and algorithm ecological barriers and enter the global supply chain with differentiated functions (such as localized sound effect scenes).
