Haptics is the use of a combination of three physical properties to provide tactile feedback in a digital device such as keyboards, touchscreens, speakers, and external speakers. It's been around since the 1970s, but it's only recently that we've seen so much of it in the smartphone market. One reason for this is the fact that many users love to browse frequently; they don't want to use a lot of buttons to get around the phone or computer. There are many advantages and drawbacks to using this kind of technology for mobile devices; it is often used in conjunction with other types of technology, including accelerometers and multi-touch input mechanisms. For instance, if the display is static and does not move, it is most likely a haptic device. If there is an image displayed on the screen, it is most likely a haptic device.
Increasing penetration of smartphones worldwide is expected to drive growth of the global haptic technology for the mobile phone market during the forecast period. According to the Indian Cellular and Electronics Association, India’s smartphone base is expected to reach 820 million by 2022. Increasing adoption of smartphones has led to increase in the utilization of haptic in cars, mobiles, and IoT appliances. This is done to achieve improved product design and operating accuracy. Thus, these factors are expected to drive growth of the global haptic technology for the mobile devices market during the forecast period. Furthermore, rise in the use of haptic technology in robotics and the medical industry is expected to propel the global haptic technology for mobile device market growth over the forecast period.
However, high implementation cost of haptic and high power consumption of haptic devices is expected to restrain growth of the global haptic technology of the mobile devices market during the forecast period. Among regions, Europe is expected to witness significant growth in the global haptic technology for the mobile devices market during the forecast period. This is owing to rising consumer expenditure on technologically advanced consumer electronic products.
Key companies operating in the global haptic technology for mobile devices market are 3D Systems, Inc., Texas Instruments, Ultraleap, Aito B.V., SENSEG OY, Force Dimension, ON Semiconductor, Haption S.A., Immersion Corporation, and Haptx Inc.
For instance, in August 2019, SENSEG OY, a key industry leader in electrostatic haptics, partnered with ST Microelectronics to create the world’s most flexible electronics.
