Starting in November 2015, the American market research institute TechNavio will be 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 - can be controlled with very light touches. As a rule, they do not react when operated with a mechanical pen or a glove.

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, the industry is projected to witness a healthy market growth of more than 7% by the year 2019.

A major market growth driver is the increasing screen size of smart devices. Devices with large displays 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.

Growth rate of 7%

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 soon be available at the URL mentioned in our source and will provide detailed information on the market situation of capacitive touchscreens.
