The touch controller IC market is experiencing a high growth due to the
emergence of natural user interface (NUI) devices and is being predominantly
driven by the rapid penetration of touch systems in consumer electronics. The
touch controller IC market segmentation revolves around the four major market
parameters, namely; products, applications, technology, and geography.
In 2011, revenue of the touch controller market was only 0.4% of the total
semiconductor industry, which grossed $312.5 billion in the same year. By the
year 2016, this share is expected to increase to 1.65%. This indicates
increase in the adoption of touch controller IC for various applications. As
more number of touch screen products is made available, the market will see
growth in verticals such as retail, ticketing, smart advertisement, and
interactive displays.
The touch controller IC market is mapped against geography in two different
types; one, according to the demand shown by the particular region and,
second, according to the supply of the touch controllers from various regions.
The geography is divided in to four regions such as North America, Europe,
Asia-Pacific (APAC), and Rest of the World (ROW). The demand analysis gives
insight about the four regions considered. APAC's demand is expected to grow
at an astonishing CAGR of 50%, calculated from the year 2011 to 2016. The
supply analysis shows the skewed figures; with more than 60% of the supply of
touch controller ICs coming from North America. Most of the major touch
controller IC manufacturers are headquartered in the U.S., and therefore North
America has the increased share in supply. By the year 2016, the demand for
the touch controller ICs from North America, Europe, and APAC is expected to
account approximately 30% each.
The applications for the touch controller IC market are broadly divided in to
three segments; consumer application, commercial application, and industrial
application. Each of the application segments is further divided in to the
specific application such as retail, education, transport, medical,
entertainment, and infotainment. There is a large imbalance observed in the
revenues contributed by each of the applications. In 2011, more than 80% of
the revenues were contributed by the consumer application segment. This trend
is due to the large volume market for the mobile phone and tablet controller
ICs.
The product market for the touch controller ICs is divided according to the
touch panel working principle. It is observed that resistive type and
capacitive type together acquired about 85% of the total market in the year
2011. The capacitive touch controllers are expected to continue their
dominance and by the year 2016, about 55% of the total market would be
acquired by them.
