The global tactile sensors market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 9.2% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2026. An increase in the uptake of tactile sensing technologies across different industry verticals can be observed over the last few years, which can be indicated by the total number of patents filed and research papers published. For instance, since 2014, the number of related products patented with the US Patent Office has increased by almost a factor of 10, and research activities have doubled. The surge in the adoption of tactile sensing technologies can be largely credited to advances in the development of new special structural engineering methods and materials in combination with existing physical principles. In addition, the introduction of state-of-the-art flexible tactile sensors that use distinct sensing structures along with capacitive or piezoresistive schemes for achieving higher pressure sensitivity is expected to drive market adoption during the forecast period from 2018 to 2026.
Asia Pacific has the world's largest tactile sensors market due to its large industrial base.
Asia Pacific represents the largest tactile sensor market worldwide in terms of both market value and volume. The region accounted for over 34% of the total market value in 2017 and will continue to dominate, offering healthy investment and growth opportunities for all participants involved in the tactile sensor value chain during the forecast period. The dominance and forecasted growth can be largely credited to the huge industrial sector coupled with the increasing adoption of automation and robotics across the sector. The growth will also be driven by the proliferation of the consumer electronics industry in the region. On the other hand, sluggish growth in the industrial sector of developed regions like North America and Europe will be offset by strong and steady growth in the healthcare sector.
