BOSTON, Sept. 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The capabilities of haptic
feedback technologies have grown far beyond adding rumble to games
controllers or silent notifications to cellphones. Market
intelligence firm IDTechEx forecasts the market for haptics
technologies to reach US$ 7.1B by
2035, representing a CAGR of 4.4% from 2024 to 2035. This will be
driven by growing adoption of haptics in non-traditional markets,
particularly vehicle interiors, as well as increasing spend on
haptics per device across many segments.
In 2024, shifts are underway, with the use of surface haptics in
applications including automotive displays growing and more
emerging activator technologies including VCMs (voice coil motors)
and piezoelectric haptics growing their market shares.
Innovation has also taken place in other classes of haptics.
Kinesthetic feedback has widened with the deployment of Adaptive
Triggers in Sony's gaming controllers since the launch of the PS5.
Thermal haptics offers another emerging dimension of tactile
experience in the earlier stages of adoption; Italian startup WeART
recently releasing its second generation of haptic gloves featuring
thermal haptics alongside other classes of haptic feedback to
provide a full haptic experience.
Smartphones have long been the most lucrative market for haptic
technologies, representing 47% of the overall market in 2023. The
smartphone market is at saturation, but opportunities still abound.
Haptic buttons are back in the latest iPhone 16 after a
6-generation hiatus, with two capacitive buttons being used to add
a DSLR-like camera button feel and control mute and other
functions. Haptic buttons are expected to provide a major source of
growth within the smartphone industry in terms of increasing spend
per device.
A major growth driver is the use of haptic feedback in new
areas, such as vehicle cockpits. However, although haptic features
have been adopted by many automakers including Tesla, Hyundai and
Chrysler, feedback is not uniformly positive, with VW recently
abandoning haptic buttons in vehicle interiors, citing customer
experience concerns.
