Market Overview:
The global capacitive touch sensor market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for capacitive touch sensors in consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial applications. Additionally, the growing demand for capacitive touch sensors in emerging economies is also contributing to the growth of this market. On the basis of type, surface capacitive sensing is expected to account for a major share of the global capacitive touch sensor market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to its high accuracy and low manufacturing cost as compared with other types of sensing technologies such as infrared and ultrasound.
Product Definition:
A capacitive touch sensor is a type of touch sensor that detects contact with an object by measuring the change in capacitance between two electrodes. The capacitance between the object and the electrodes changes when the object makes contact, which can be then be used to determine position and/or size of the object. Capacitive touch sensors are often used in touchscreen displays and smartphones.
Surface Capacitive Sensing:
Surface Capacitive Sensing (SCS) is a technology that enables the sensing of capacitive touch on any non-conductive surface. It works by creating an electric field around the finger or stylus, which is then detected by the sensor. The main advantage of this technology over resistive or optical sensing methods is that it provides complete multi-touch support with high accuracy and low implementation complexity.
Projected Capacitive Sensing:
The projected capacitive sensing is a technology that utilizes a capacitor made of two conductive plates to sense the position and the distance of a touch. The major advantage of this system over resistive or optical sensing systems is its ability to detect even very small changes in capacitance due to finger movement, thereby making it an ideal choice for implementing in touch screen displays and other applications where accurate positioning of fingers on the screen is important.
Application Insights:
The consumer electronics segment accounted for the largest market share in 2017 and is projected to expand at a CAGR of XX% from 2018 to 2030. The capacitive touch sensors used in smartphones, tablets, laptops etc. are manufactured using CMOS image sensor technology which has enabled high performance and low power consumption as compared to other sensing technologies such as resistive or optical sensing technologies.
Capacitive touch sensors have numerous applications across various industries including healthcare, consumer electronics, automotive & transportation and industrial automation among others which are responsible for driving the global demand over the forecast period. In addition to this, growing product demand from emerging applications such as smartwatches is expected drive growth over the coming years (see appendix).
The healthcare sector was one of the prominent sectors that adopted projected capacitance touch screen monitors owing to their ability detect even minimally invasive body parts thereby eliminating human errors during medical procedures or surgeries (see appendix).
Regional Analysis:
North America is expected to be the largest market for capacitive touch sensors owing to the presence of a large number of industry players and increased adoption in various application areas. The U.S. dominates the North American region with a revenue share of over 80% in 2017, followed by Canada. This can be attributed to increasing investments by key companies such as Corning Incorporated, Texas Instruments Inc., and Broadcom Inc.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for capacitive touch sensors in consumer electronics
- Rising demand from automotive sector
- Growing popularity of capacitive touch sensors in medical devices and equipment
- Proliferation of capacitive touch sensor technology in the industrial sector
- Increasing adoption of capacitive touch sensors across various end-use applications
