Since November 2015, the American market research institute TechNavio has been offering a report on the global market situation of the capacitive touchscreen industry on its website under the title "Market outlook of the global capacitive touchscreen market".
Capacitive touchscreens respond to touch
A capacitive touch screen relies on the electrical properties of the human body to detect touch. Capacitive touch displays - such as those used in smartphones, for example - can be controlled with very light gestures. As a rule, they do not react when operated with a mechanical pen or a glove.
7% Forecasts for Healthy Market Growth
The market report discusses the global growth of capacitive touchscreens and what factors are influencing the growth of the smartphone and tablet PC market. According to the report, a healthy market growth of more than 7% is projected by the year 2019.
An important growth driver is the increasing screen size of smart devices. Large-screen devices are popular with consumers primarily because of their ease of use and improved visual experience. These "augmented" preferences for large smartphone displays in the mid to upper price segment are seen as the main reason for the hoped-for growth.
Smartphone and tablet market is growing
According to the TechNavio market report, the smartphone and tablet application areas in particular will see strong growth in the future. This has to do with the ever-growing number of Internet users and the associated development of 3G and 4G data transmission speed of mobile applications.
The report will be available at the URL mentioned in our source and will provide detailed information on the market situation of capacitive touchscreens.
