Touch Screen Controllers Market Trends

Market Trends of Touch Screen Controllers Industry

Consumer Electronics to Hold a Major Market Share

• Consumer electronics is one of the market's most essential and significant segments. The fast-paced demand for new and innovative products has seen touch screens being embraced by multiple products. Mobiles, tablets, wearables, laptops, and PCs are among the few consumer electronic products that have adopted touch capabilities on a broader scale. Recently, products such as refrigerators, washing machines, copiers, etc., all have been equipped with touch-enabled interfaces to offer a better consumer experience and create a differentiated demand.
• Considering the increasing acceptance of touchscreen technology, most vendors include this technology in consumer electronic devices, such as cameras, portable music players, exercise equipment, doorbell video monitors, etc., which positively impacts the demand for touchscreen controllers. For instance, in July 2022, Xiaomi, a leading consumer electronics company, launched Smart Home Screen 6 with a 5.45-inch touchscreen display with a 960 x 480 px resolution.
• The competition in the wearables segment is expected to grow as it has become more affordable. Furthermore, the increased functionality, such as calling, SMS tracking, etc., being incorporated into these devices is also driving their sales. With the touchscreen feature increasingly taking place in the wearables industry, its growth is expected to positively impact the touchscreen controller market.
• Furthermore, smartphone adoption increased significantly in recent years. According to Ericsson, in 2021, smartphone subscriptions reached 6,340 million globally. Foldable mobile phones are expected to increase competition in the market for controllers that support these systems. 5G devices are expected to sustain further mobile device growth and boost the market segment's demand.

Asia-Pacific Expected to Hold Significant Market Share

• The Asia-Pacific region witnessed remarkable growth in the last few decades; sectors such as industrial, automotive, and consumer electronics have grown significantly, especially in the countries, such as China, South Korea, Japan, and India, among others. For instance, according to OICA, China was the leading automobile manufacturer, with a total production of automobiles reaching just over 26 million in 2021.
• China is also among the leading producer of electric vehicles. According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), the country produced about 3.5 million units of new energy vehicles, including 2.9 million battery-electric vehicles. As touch screens are increasingly being used in automobiles, especially in the automotive infotainment systems, the growth of the automobile industry is expected to drive the demand for touch screen controllers in the Asia-Pacific region.
• Smartwatches and innovative bracelets are also witnessing a huge spike in adoption across various countries in the Asia-Pacific region. The declining cost, along with these devices' innovative design and features is significantly attracting consumers' attention, especially the younger generation. Furthermore, the increasing disposable income of the middle class is also among the major factor driving their demand.
• The declining cost of consumer electronics, such as smartphones and tablet PCs, the growing adoption of simplicity in the user interface, and government initiatives toward E-learning education have further encouraged the usage of intelligent consumer electronic devices. Such trends are also expected to have a notable impact on the growth of the market studied.
