Capacitive Sensor Market is projected to grow at a CAGR 6.79%

Knowledge Sourcing Intelligence announces the publication of a new report on “Capacitive Sensor Market – Forecasts from 2020 to 2025” to their offering.

The growing recognition of capacitive sensors’ relatively superior sensitivity, durability, and measurement accuracy than resistive or inductive sensors are the prime factors that are estimated to drive the market growth.

As per the report, the market pertaining to the Capacitive Sensor Market is expected to reach US$32.665 billion by 2025, from US$22.020 billion in 2019.         

A capacitive sensor is a proximity sensor that is capable of detecting objects which in their close vicinity by their effect on the electrical field that is created by the sensors. They are essential noncontact devices that are able to detect the presence of practically any object irrespective of their constituent physical characteristics. The electrical property is utilized for capacitance and the change in capacitance that is based on the alteration in the electrical field in the vicinity of the active face of the sensors. Capacity sensing technology is frequently found in applications that incorporate other sensing technologies like for example, accelerometers, dimmer switches, flow, ice detection, key switches, liquid level, pressure, shaft angle, or linear position, spacing, thickness, x-y tablet, among others. Besides the principle of its functioning is mainly that of a capacitor.  A metal plate that is placed in the sensing face of the sensor is connected electrically to an internal oscillator circuit and the object that is required be sense acts as the second plate of the capacitor. As opposed to an inductive sensor that is known for producing an electromagnetic field a capacity sensor produces an electrostatic field. The feedback capacitance in the oscillator circuit partly comprises the external capacitance between the internal sensor plate and the intended object. Thereafter with the gradual approach of the intended object towards the sensors face there is an increase in oscillations until it reaches the threshold thereby facilitating the desired output.

The capacitive sensors are undergoing rapid developments to meet requirements that necessitate new and enhanced user interface in a variety of applications. The rising incorporation multi-touch screens since it is highly sought after due to its features like pinch-to-zoom is expected to further thrust the growth of the market. End-use products like gaming consoles, multi-media players, smartphones as well as tablets are further expected to augment the growth of the market. Additional support from governments incentivizing more participation in nanotechnology-based applications such as food packaging, medicine, space exploration, water purification, among others is expected to positively influence the growth of the market. Moreover, the decrease in the size of capacitive sensors has facilitated the enhancement and deployment of the same in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) towards the fruition of applications pertaining to mobile stabilization as well as in mobile robotics.

The rising emphasis on developing a signal conditioner for capacitive sensors is expected to spur the growth of the mallet even further. For instance, in November 2019, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723) called Integrated Device Technology, Inc. (IDT), had reportedly launched a new generation of 18-bit sensor signal conditioner (SSC), which is highly precise and energy-efficient, called the ZSSC3230, intend for capacitive sensor applications. It is an offer that amalgamates the highest standards of signal conditioning, less consumption of power, as well as with a make size that is small., which is suitable for being employed with humidity, pressure, level and a variety of smart capacitive sensor modules that fids themselves integrated into a myriad of consumer, industrial and medical applications, Viz. automated smart building systems, HVAC systems, smart meters  as well as weather stations. Moreover, this new product has reportedly a high ADC (analog-to-digital conversion) resolution which is reportedly up to 18 bits thereby allowing it to achieve an unrivaled accuracy level. The aforementioned is an essential perquisite of the sensor-based device that belongs to the latest generation and is increasingly finding themselves inseparable form Internet of Things (IoT) applications. Besides the aforementioned the increasing cognizance of its importance in defense-oriented applications such as operating systems that re integral to operate thrust revers, power doors are expected to significantly catapult the market for capacitive sensors to stratospheric heights in the next few years.

As a part of the report, the major players operating in the capacitive sensor market, which have been covered are OMRON Corporation, Texas Instruments Incorporated, NXP Semiconductors, Capacitec, Inc., ELK Corporation, Pepperl+Fuchs, and Schneider Electric.
