The expansion of the gaming industry is expected to drive the growth of the spatial audio rendering artificial intelligence (AI) market in the coming years. Gaming involves engaging in digital or electronic games on platforms such as computers, consoles, or mobile devices for leisure, competition, or recreation. The industry is growing due to the widespread availability of affordable smartphones and internet access, making digital games easily accessible to a global audience. Spatial audio rendering AI benefits gaming by creating realistic 3D sound environments, allowing players to accurately locate and gauge the distance of in-game sounds, thereby enhancing immersion and gameplay awareness. For example, according to Uswitch Limited, a UK-based online and telephone comparison service provider, the number of online gamers in the UK is projected to reach 11.56 million by 2027, up 6.64 percent from 10.84 million in 2023. Therefore, the expansion of the gaming industry is propelling the growth of the spatial audio rendering AI market.

Leading companies in the spatial audio rendering AI market are developing advanced solutions such as mastering tools to improve overall loudness, clarity, and tonal balance of audio. Mastering solutions refine and enhance audio tracks to achieve balanced sound, clarity, and consistency across listening platforms. For instance, in October 2023, Masterchannel, a Norway-based mastering solutions provider, launched SpatialAI, a platform that streamlines creation and ensures technical compliance of spatial audio releases, preparing them for distribution in minutes. SpatialAI makes spatial audio accessible to all artists and producers by removing the high costs and complexity that previously limited its use. It assists producers transitioning to a spatial audio workflow, ensuring tracks comply with technical standards even in non-ideal listening environments. By uploading an ADM BWF file, users receive a fully optimized spatial version for streaming along with a customized stereo version for conventional distribution. Masterchannel’s AI uses reinforcement learning to continuously refine tracks, correct technical issues, and deliver high-quality spatial audio experiences.

In May 2023, CEVA Inc., a US-based licensor of wireless connectivity and smart sensing technologies, acquired VisiSonics Spatial Audio for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, CEVA aims to enhance its spatial audio rendering AI capabilities, providing immersive 3D sound with dynamic head tracking for hearables, gaming, augmented reality/virtual reality (AR/VR), automotive, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. VisiSonics is a US-based company specializing in spatial audio rendering AI.
