Non-Glass Capacitive Sensor Market to Exceed $35 Million by 2020, Research Firm Says

The market for non-glass capacitive sensors is projected to exceed $35.1 million by 2020, according to a report by MarketsandMarkets. Non-glass capacitive sensors are thin, lightweight, scratch-resistant and claim high conductivity with low power consumption, said MarketsandMarkets. Capacitive sensing is used in sensors including touch, position and motion to detect parameters including position, proximity, pressure and displacement, it said. The growth of capacitive sensors is faster than other sensing technologies including resistive, infrared and acoustic due to accuracy in measurement, ease of operation and longer lifespan, it said.
