Industry and News Capacitive Sensor Market | Page 3

The major advancement in the market includes the introduction of projected capacitive technology
which depends on capacitive sensing which detects the capacitance change in indium tin oxide (ITO)
contacts on indium tin oxide glass to detect motion trajectory and touch positions when the screen
is touched by the user of the equipment. Projected capacitive touch technology is expected to have
an edge over traditional capacitive sensor on account of multi-touch capability, superior optics and
extreme durability.
Segmentation based on the type of non-glass materials, applications and geographic regions. The
non-glass surface type segment classification includes different types of materials including
sapphires, polymers, and other plastic materials. The market segmentation on the basis of
applications include consumer and commercial applications. Consumer applications of non-glass
capacitive sensors include touch-screen devices including photocopy machines, tablets,
smartphones and mouse touch-pads. With increasing advancement in touch-screen devices, non-
glass capacitive sensors are likely to witness high demand in consumer applications. Commercial
applications majorly include education and training, ticketing booths, automated teller machines
(ATM) machines, casino game, point of interest, factory equipment and medical equipment. In
addition, the market for non-glass capacitive sensors is segmented based on geographic regions
which include Europe, North America, Asia Pacific and Rest of the World (RoW).
