According to the new market research report, now available on ASDReports, "Touchscreen Controller Market by Technology (Resistive & Capacitive), Interface (I2C, SPI, USB), Touchscreen Technology (Single-Touch & Multi-Touch), Screen Size (Small & Medium, and Large), Application, and Geography - Global Forecast to 2022", the touchscreen controller market is expected to reach USD 9.11 Billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 15.2% between 2016 and 2022. The major drivers for the touchscreen controller market are the growing integration of touchscreens in automobiles, increasing trends of wearable devices, and high demand for capacitive touchscreen technology.

Capacitive technology expected to lead the market

The touchscreen controllers based on capacitive technology are found in various devices in consumer electronics applications such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, wearable devices, and others. Capacitive touchscreen controllers are durable, more reliable, and provide better operation through its multiple functionalities than resistive touch controllers. These controllers are highly responsive and provide a real-time feel while minimizing power consumption, thereby improving the operating life of a battery-driven device. Moreover, these are among the major factors responsible for increasing the popularity of capacitive touchscreen controllers.

Commercial application is expected to grow at a high rate

The technological advancements in various segments such as healthcare, automotive, banking, retail, education & training have resulted into the development of innovative and modernized touch-based devices. These applications use touchscreen to enhance the user experience and encourage interactivity. The rapidly growing increasing installation of touch-based ATMs and kiosk systems and the growing demand for infotainment systems in vehicles is expected to drive this market.
