No.

Do they make use of the fact that smooth signals are sparse in DCT domain? Sure. But this has been true long before compressed sensing was a thing.

AFAIK the specific techniques of compressed sensing have not made their way into industry at all.

Not that they couldn't be applied, I'm fond of "Spatial Sparsity-Induced Prediction for Images and Video: A Simple Way to Reject Structured Interference".

(And, in my view it seems that compressed sensing almost completely diverted academic attention away from techniques that would be useful for signal compression in industry; maybe with a couple more orders of magnitude improvement in computing power the common techniques in that space will become more useful for compression.)
