The growing digitalization is propelling the growth of the gesture recognition market. Many companies and organizations are adopting biometrics solutions that help in the digitalization of large processes. Biometrics s a scientific method of identifying a person's gestures by measuring their physical and/or behavioral features that are used for different applications like mobiles, laptops, and screenings. The rise of biometrics is increasing due to businesses realizing the benefits of biometric technologies in terms of security and ease of their operations. According to Imageware, a US-based biometric identification and authentication solutions company, global biometric technology is expected to reach $55. 42 billion by 2027. Therefore, the growing digitalization is driving the gesture recognition market growth.

The rising use of consumer electronics will propel the growth of the gesture recognition market going forward. Consumer electronics refers to electronic devices and gadgets designed for personal use, such as smartphones, televisions, and laptops. Gesture recognition is used in consumer electronics to enable users to control devices or interact with them through hand and body movements. For instance, in May 2023, according to the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association, a Japan-based trade association, the total electronic equipment production in Japan reached $52,36,535 million (¥771,457 million). In addition, consumer electronics production reached $2.17 trillion (¥32,099 million) in May 2023, compared to $1.71 trillion (¥25,268 million) in May 2022. Therefore, the rising use of consumer electronics will contribute to the growth of the gesture recognition market.

Technological advancement is a key trend gaining popularity in the gesture recognition market. Major companies operating in the gesture recognition market are focused on developing new technological solutions to meet consumer demand and strengthen their position. In July 2022, STMicroelectronics, a Switzerland-based semiconductor company has launched a touchless gesture-based control system for straightforward, budget-conscious consumer and commercial applications. The system is called STGesture and is a companion software for the company's VL53L5CX Time-of-Flight (ToF) ranging sensor. The software enables basic gesture recognition with the VL53L5CX proximity ToF sensor and can detect tap and swipe movements.

Major companies in the gesture recognition market focus on technological advancements, such as the 3D Gesture Touch sensor feature, to enhance user interactions and streamline customer service processes. The 3D Gesture Touch sensor feature refers to a technology that enables touchless control and interactions with devices through hand and finger movements in three-dimensional space. For instance, in January 2022, New Vision Display, a US-based manufacturer of custom display and touch products, launched 3D Gesture Touch sensor feature, based on Microchip’s patented GestIC technology. 3D Gesture Touch allows users to interact with a device using simple hand gestures a short distance from the screen and no physical contact is required.

In May 2023, Infineon Technologies AG, a Germany-based semiconductor manufacturer, acquired Imagimob AB for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to strengthen Infineon's capabilities in AI-driven gesture recognition solutions, enhancing its market position in this innovative field. Imagimob AB, a Sweden-based technology company, specializes in providing advanced gesture recognition technology.

The gesture recognition refer to a type of perceptual computing user interface that enables computers to recognize and understand human gestures as orders. Gesture recognition entails tracking a human position, orientation, or movement and then interpreting it to distinguish semantically significant gestures. It is utilized for Human-Computer Connection (HCI), a type of human-machine interaction that uses just physical actions rather than voice.

The main types of gesture recognition are online gestures and offline gestures. Online gestures are real-time gestures that use technology where the hand surface is extracted from the background by the subtraction method. The various authentication types include finger-print recognition, face recognition, vision and iris recognition, and hand and leg recognition based on touch-based and touchless technology. It is used across several industries such as automotive, consumer electronics, healthcare, finance and banking, advertisement and communication, defense, government, and other industries.
