Global DAB Radio Market Definition

Digital audio broadcasting (DAB) is used for broadcasting digital audio radio services generally a digital radio standard that is used among various countries includes Europe, Asia, and the Pacific. DAB is more efficient in its use of spectrum than analog FM radio and thus may offer more radio services for an equivalent given bandwidth, however, the sound quality is often noticeably lower thanks to the MP2 codec if the bitrate isn’t sufficient.

Digital radio works by turning sound into digital signals for transmission then decoding them at the opposite end using digital radio receivers; the result’s close-to-CD-quality sound output. DAB is usually more efficient in its use of spectrum than analog FM radio, and thus offers more radio services for an equivalent given bandwidth. The sound quality is often noticeably inferior if the bit rate allocated to every audio program isn’t sufficient.

With reference to noise and multipath Fading for mobile listening, DAB is more robust, although DAB reception quality degrades rapidly when the signal strength falls below a critical threshold, whereas FM reception quality degrades slowly with the decreasing signal, providing effective coverage over a bigger area. It uses digital technology which enables broadcasters to package together several radios. On a single frequency network, Multiplexed radio stations are then broadcasted. By using fewer radio frequencies it can provide lots more radio stations as an efficient way.

Global DAB Radio Market Overview

One of the most important advantages of DAB is that it allows for a greater choice of stations which leads to dives the demand for the DAB Radio industry. Another advantage is that DAB radio is very less vulnerable to noise and interference, which may happen as fade, hiss, or crackle on FM radio. DAB radios don’t suffer during this way because they maintain reception quality up until the signal becomes unsustainably weak, whereas the reception quality of FM radios gets steadily worse as soon because the signal begins to weaken.

This is often particularly relevant to people using radios in cars because constant movement means signal strength is probably going to vary and because of these factors there is the growth of the Global DAB Radio Market. DAB is very easy to use as it is fitted mostly in cars and FM Car radios are usually fitted with RDS that allows users to store stations and they can switch between them without tuning any stations which are likely to drive the market for DAB Radio. With the rising adoption of DAB Radios as several manufacturers are likely to include their cars as standard.

Many people wish to have the foremost up so far technology in their cars when they’re buying a replacement one and having a DAB radio in your car may make it more desirable once you come to sell it or trade it in which is likely to propel the market growth. The key benefit of the DAB Radio is its spectrum efficiency as well s the cost is very efficient which is likely to propel the market growth.

Key Developments

Product Development

• Canada conducted trials of DAB in L-band in major cities. However, the success of satellite digital radio and lack of L-band DAB receivers led to the analog switch-off being abandoned. Canada subsequently adopted HD Radio as used in the neighboring United States instead of DAB.

• Hong Kong announced the termination of DAB in March 2017. It was replaced by DVB-T2 Lite.

• DAB in Ireland was confined from 2017 to state broadcaster RTÉ Radio’s multiplex, which was switched off in March 2021, after a survey showed 77% of adults listen to radio via FM, compared with 8% via digital means, of which 0.5% via DAB. RTÉ’s service began in 2006, after trials in 1998 and 2001. A commercial multiplex was trialed in 2007–8 and licensed, including DAB+, from 2010 to 2017, but the licensee did not renew because of lack of take-up by broadcasters.
