Market Overview:
The global mechanical key switch market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for linear switches, tactile switches, and clicky switches from various industrial applications. Additionally, the growing demand for electronic products and automotive components is also propelling the growth of this market. Regionally, North America dominates the global mechanical key switch market followed by Europe and Asia Pacific. The dominance of these regions can be attributed to factors such as early adoption of new technologies, presence of major players in these regions, and rising demand for consumer electronics products.
Product Definition:
A key switch is a type of electrical switch that is activated by pressing down on a key. The term usually refers to the switches used in keyboards, but it can also be used for other types of switches, such as those used in pedals or locks.
Linear Switch:
Linear switch is a type of mechanical key switch which has two or more blades attached to a common stem. The movement of one or more blades causes the stem to move, thereby making electrical contact and producing an effect similar to that of a normal mechanical key. In most cases, linear switches are used in combination with other switches (such as momentary and toggle) for added functionality.
Tactile Switch:
The tactile switch is a type of key switch that makes a tactile feel when pressed. Tactile switches are widely used in home appliances such as computers, printers, and television remote controls. The growing demand for consumer electronics coupled with the advancement of technology has led to the development of different types of touchscreens and keypads for these devices.
Different technologies including resistive, optical imaging.
Application Insights:
The industry has been segmented into six application segments based on the type of product used. These include automobile, industrial, metallurgical, electronics and other applications. The automotive application segment accounted for a major share in 2016 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period owing to increasing production levels of vehicles in developing countries such as China India and Brazil.
Keyless entry systems have several advantages over traditional mechanical key switches including improved security due to added protection against theft or loss of keys; reduced maintenance cost; increased operational life; ability to be integrated with an electronic lock system thereby providing enhanced access control; ability to work even after being submerged under water (up To 3 feet depth) without getting damaged or worn out which is not possible with normal mechanical key switches.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region has been witnessing rapid urbanization, which has led to an increase in construction activities. This growth in construction activities is anticipated to drive key switches demand from 2018 to 2030. Moreover, increasing industrial automation across various application industries such as metallurgical, automotive and electronics are also driving the product demand over the forecast period.
The North America market was valued at USD X million in 2017 and is projected to witness significant growth over the next eight years owing to a rise in manufacturing activities across several industry verticals including healthcare & medical devices, consumer goods products such as household appliances and office equipment among others that require high security systems for protection of assets against theft or damage etc., thus leading towards an increased use of mechanical keyswitch technology for access control purposes.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for miniaturization in consumer electronics
- Rising demand from the automotive industry
- Growing popularity of gaming and esports
- Proliferation of smart devices and the Internet of Things (IoT)
- Emergence of next-generation input technologies
