Market Insight

Tactile sensors are type of sensors that gain/measure tangible information through physical touch. The measured characteristics can be properties such as temperature, vibration, softness, shear & normal forces, and softness among others. Over the last few years, considerable technological efforts and scientific research has been dedicate towards developing tactile sensing based on different transducing mechanisms, with potential applications across multiple fields such as intelligent robotics, human machine interface, and tactile sensor-based minimally invasive surgery among others. In terms of adoption, consumer electronics and industrial manufacturing represented two major end-use verticals, collectively accounting for around 60% of the total market value in 2017. The growth in the consumer electronics segment is majorly credited to the perpetually growing demand for touchscreen units across electronic gadgets such as tablets, smartphones, remotes, and game controllers among others. On the other hand, demand for tactile sensors across automotive applications is poised to register strong growth during the forecast period from 2018 to 2026. With high sensitivities, tactile sensors are increasingly being employed in the manufacturing of automobile components such as clutches, brakes, door seals, fuel cells, etc.
