The class D audio amplifier market is expected to grow from US$ 2,437.96 million in 2021 to US$ 4,515.74 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 9.2% from 2021 to 2028.

Developing regions such as Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa, and South America are characterized by positive economic outlook, increasing middle class population, and rising disposable incomes. These factors are driving the sales of passenger cars in these regions. Developing economies have been witnessing steady growth in the post-recession era, which has reflected in rise in disposable income. In the western countries, where consumers have high disposable incomes, high value and volume of car sales is driven by the preference for advanced features and technologies integrated in the cars. Luxury cars and autonomous cars, enhanced with high-end infotainment systems and technologies, are contributing significantly to the total car sales in North America and Europe, among other developed markets. Hence, car manufacturers are focusing on the integration of sophisticated in-vehicle infotainment systems to provide distinct services to their customers. Despite a downturn in automotive sales in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the overall growth outlook is estimated to be positive during the forecast period, i.e., during 2021–2028. Further, irrespective of variations in the percentage of car ownership across developing markets, the number of passenger cars per household increased steadily in the past decade. According to estimates of the Organisation Internationale des Constructeurs d’Automobiles (OICA), the global passenger car registrations in 2018 reached 55,834,456 worldwide. Further, sales of these cars are expected to increase in coming years due to growing adoption of private vehicles to avoid social contact in public transports to avoid exposure to SARS-CoV-2. Thus, surge in the adoption of in-vehicle infotainment systems in cars is bolstering the demand for class D audio amplifiers.
