The electronics industry has experienced a significant boost, with consumers increasingly purchasing electronic products through eCommerce websites. Projections indicate that electronic commerce sales in 2022 will exceed $79 million, reflecting a substantial 7% increase from 2021.

The increasing demand for smartphones is anticipated to boost the growth of the touch screen controllers market. A smartphone is a portable electronic device that combines the functionalities of a mobile phone with those of a built-in computer, along with additional features not typically associated with telephones. Touch screen controllers are utilized in smartphones to facilitate touch input detection, support multi-touch, enable gesture recognition, and provide pressure sensing capabilities. For instance, in February 2023, a report by Uswitch Limited, a UK-based online and telephone comparison service, revealed that 71.8 million mobile connections were active in 2022, marking a 3.8% increase from 2021. It is projected that by 2025, the UK population will reach 68.3 million, with 95% of individuals expected to own smartphones. Thus, the rising demand for smartphones is likely to drive the growth of the touch screen controllers market.

Technological advancements in touch screen controllers represent a growing trend within the touch screen controllers market. Continuous improvements in touch screen technology are leading to innovations as manufacturers strive to introduce new products that offer a competitive edge. For instance, in April 2024, Microchip Technology, a US-based manufacturer of microcontrollers and solutions, unveiled the MXT2952TD 2 family of secure touchscreen controllers. These controllers come equipped with encryption capabilities for touch data, safeguarding sensitive information during transactions. This feature is essential for complying with Payment Card Industry (PCI) certification requirements. Additionally, the controllers support cryptographic authentication for software updates, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and ensuring that only verified updates are installed.

Major companies in the touch screen controllers market are focusing on the development of innovative products with artificial intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities. Touch screen controllers with AI and IoT functionalities enable not only touch screen interaction but also internet connectivity and AI-driven features for improved user experiences and data analysis. For instance, Haier, a China-based home appliance manufacturer, launched the Haier 979 series in October 2022. This AI-enabled washing machine series is also IoT-enabled, allowing users to access and control the machine through smartphone apps and voice assistants. The washing machine features an advanced direct motion motor to minimize noise and vibrations during the washing cycle, along with a user-friendly touchscreen control panel.

For example, in April 2024, AIS Global, a US-based manufacturer of HMI solutions, acquired Touch International for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition enables AIS Global to expand its product portfolio and improve its offerings in human-machine interface solutions. Touch International specializes in manufacturing touch screen displays and controllers in the United States.

Touch screen controllers are circuits that facilitate the connection between the touch screen sensor and the device in which the sensor is incorporated. These controllers receive data from the sensor, which is then translated into commands for the device's operating system. Touch screen controllers are integral in the manufacturing of various electronic devices.

The main types of touch screen controllers include resistive, capacitive, single-touch, and multi-touch screen controllers. Resistive touch screen controllers consist of multiple layers and are designed to detect touch commands using pressure rather than changes in capacitance. Capacitive touch screen controllers, on the other hand, rely on the conductive touch of a human finger or a specialized input device. Single-touch technology is employed in both resistive and capacitive devices, processing input from a single touch point. In contrast, multi-touch technology is utilized in both resistive and capacitive devices, allowing for the identification of multiple touch points on a surface simultaneously. These various types of touch screen controllers find applications in the manufacturing of electronic devices such as smartphones, laptops, personal computers, and portable instruments.
