Touch Screen Controllers Market Size

Touch Screen Controllers Market Analysis

The Touch Screen Controllers Market is expected to grow by registering a CAGR of about 14.9% over the forecast period. The growing adoption of devices having touch screens feature across various industries, including consumer electronics and the automotive industry, in products like smart home appliances, door locking systems, biometric devices, and automobile infotainment systems are driving the growth of the market studied.

• Touch screen controllers are converters, as they detect the touch sensor input and send the desired user action of pressure or touch to the device. In touch screen devices, sensors are incorporated with touch screen controllers to help the device understand and recognize sophisticated touch functions from the user. In recent years, the demand for these devices has grown significantly, owing to the increasing adoption of touchscreen features across various end-user industry devices.
• For instance, the smartphone industry has grown significantly in the last decade to become a common household name. The increasing awareness about the affordability of digital technologies of these devices compared to PCs and desktops further propelled the smartphone industry's growth. According to a 2021 Ericsson Mobility report, the deployment of 4G LTE networks has been crucial in generating 5.5 billion new smartphone connections worldwide since 2011, which is expected to grow further as 5G technology takes over the communication industry.
• Technological investments in touch-based gesture recognition further propelled the market growth by supporting gestures, such as slide, pinch-to-zoom, swipe (or flick), twist, and press-and-hold (or long press). In addition to increased touch screen units shipped, projected capacitive touch screens are replacing resistive technology in automotive applications, driving the demand for capacitive touch screen controllers.
• However, with so many requirements to fulfill, creating a high-quality touch interface is challenging. These different requirements can sometimes conflict, leading to trade-offs unless the system is designed smartly. Additionally, challenges in achieving correct power consumption and refresh rate are among the factors restraining the growth of the market studied.
• As touch screens have proven to be an integral part of the digital world, the demand for touch screen devices remained steady even during the pandemic, even though COVID-19 severely impacted many businesses. The demand shooter up sharply, especially in the personal device segment, as measures taken by the government, such as travel restrictions and restrictions on the availability of several people at a place, forced the organizations to shift to remote work setup. With the hybrid work culture expected to stay, the demand for smart devices with touchscreen features is expected to remain high, which will have a similar impact on the growth of the market studied.
