The global capacitive sensors market size is expected to reach USD 66.6 billion by 2034, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Capacitive Sensors Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Type (Touch Sensor, Motion Sensor, Position Sensor, Others); By End-Use; By Region; Segment Forecast, 2025 – 2034” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
Capacitive sensors are devices that can detect the presence or absence of an object without making physical contact. They are affordable and can detect both metallic and non-metallic objects without requiring a specific direction. Capacitive sensors are used to measure flow, level, pressure, linear, and angle position, among other applications.
The growing prevalence of consumer electronics, such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and interactive screens, is driving market expansion. This trend is further fuelled by the increasing adoption of these technologies in the aerospace industry.
Capacitive sensors are widely used in consumer electronics like touchpads, TV controls, smartphones, and tablets. They're also increasingly being used in touchscreens and input devices, like buttons and sliders. This expanding range of applications is driving an increased demand for capacitive sensors.
Capacitive sensors are being widely used in medical devices like ECG machines, blood pressure monitors, and blood glucose monitoring device. The growing demand for advanced medical equipment is anticipated to boost the growth of the capacitive sensors market.
The COVID-19 pandemic-imposed lockdowns adversely affected the capacitive sensor market. Capacitive sensors are used in several industries like aerospace, defense, automotive, and oil and gas. Lockdowns led to a decrease in crude oil demand and pricing, which merged the issues faced by the capacitive sensor market. Consequently, many companies had to reduce their manufacturing activities.
