The global haptic technology market reached a value of US$ 8.1 Billion in 2021. Looking forward, the publisher expects the market to reach US$ 17.7 Billion by 2027, exhibiting a CAGR of 13.92% during 2021-2027. Keeping in mind the uncertainties of COVID-19, we are continuously tracking and evaluating the direct as well as the indirect influence of the pandemic on different end use industries. These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.
Haptic technology, or kinesthetic communication, refers to virtual and mixed reality solutions that offer multi-model experiences by engaging sight, sound and touch. It involves technology that uses physical feedback and pressure sensitivity to operate through various devices, such as actuators, haptic drives and microcontroller units.
The haptic actuators are electronic devices that convert electric signals to vibrations that can be sensed by the user operating the device. This technology is commonly used for creating and controlling virtual objects, game consoles, surgical equipment and wearable devices, and to enhance the efficiency of remote-controlled machines and telerobots.
Significant growth in the consumer electronics sector, along with the increasing adoption of haptic technology solutions for improved scalability of devices, are among the key factors creating a positive impact on the market. The widespread adoption of haptics in smart-phones, tablets, media players, home appliances and virtual interfaces for enhanced sound, touch and visual effects have facilitated improvements in product designs and operational efficiencies.
Furthermore, increasing utilization of haptic technology in gaming applications is also driving the market growth. Gaming input devices, such as operating consoles and joysticks, use the technology to provide different intensities of vibrations and mechanical signals, thereby providing immersive user experience.
Additionally, the growing usage of 3D-touchscreen displays in automobiles and medical electronics is contributing to the growth of the market. Other factors, including the proliferation of haptics in robotics, manufacturing and industrial automation, along with the development of efficient tools and devices for visually-impaired individuals, are expected to drive the market further.
