Capacitive touch screen has occupied the top of the market

As the end-users gradually accept the human touch interaction method, the penetration rate of the touch screen is greatly increased, forming a huge touch screen market. According to market research agency DisplaySearch statistics, in 2012 the global touch screen revenue reached 16 billion US dollars, 2018 is expected to global touch screen revenue will rise to 31.9 billion US dollars.

Among them, the capacitive touch screen has excellent performance such as multi-touch sensitivity, high light transmittance, and long service life, and the market recognition has been continuously improved, which has occupied the first place in the market share of the entire touch screen.

The largest application area of ​​the ultrasound electronic main business touch screen lies in portable mobile electronic devices. Among them, the mobile phone is the largest application area of ​​the touch screen, and the mobile touch screen occupies nearly half of the total touch screen market, which is the main driving force for the growth of the touch screen.

According to the research agency IDC, in 2013, there were nearly 1 billion smartphones sold worldwide, of which China sold more than 300 million smartphones. Since the touch mode has become a necessary design element for mobile phones, the proportion of touch screen mobile phones in global mobile phone shipments will continue to increase.

In addition, under the impetus of the global mobile phone thinning and touch-control process, capacitive screens have become the standard configuration of major manufacturers to launch flagship smart phones, providing long-term development momentum for capacitive screens. It is expected that the combined growth rate of mobile phone capacitive screen shipments in 2012-2015 will be 37%.

In the area of ​​multiple electronic products such as tablet PCs, mobile Internet devices, navigation devices, and multimedia audio-visual equipment, the penetration rate of touch screens has also increased year by year. In particular, Tablet PCs and Ultrabooks have led the market share of tablet PC touch screens under the leadership of iPad. Will continue to expand, capacitive screen is rapidly extended to the application of large and medium-sized level, creating a new market growth point.

According to statistics, in 2012, global tablet shipments reached 140 million units, with an annual growth rate of 91%. In 2013, shipments will reach 240 million units, and it is expected to reach 261 million units in 2016.

In the coming years, another major growth driver for capacitive screen demand will come from the tablet PC and ultrabook market. The iPad's popularity has made tablet computers equipped with capacitive screens a new hotspot in the personal computer field after the Internet. Driven by the iPad and the surface, tablet computers and ultrabooks are becoming more and more popular portable entertainment terminals for consumers, and they are expected to maintain rapid growth in the next few years.

Electronic components industry analyst Zhou Yizi pointed out that the progress of the touch screen business and the strong demand for mobile smart terminals and on-board electronics in the future have become a source of confidence for the company to increase investment in this business. The excellent reputation of ultrasound electronics in the market has enabled it to enter the Intel Ultrabook Summit supplier directory, laying a good foundation for capacity digestion and other high-end customer orders.
