A tactile sensor is a components that measures the physical interaction information between its body and the environment. Tactile pressure sensor is an important sensor based on the force dimension in this type of sensor. A tactile pressure sensor is a type of sensor designed to measure and detect physical pressure or force applied to its surface. These sensors are used to quantify the amount of force or pressure exerted on an object or surface and are often used in applications that require touch sensitivity or pressure detection. Report focus on tactile pressure sensor market.

The driving factors of the tactile sensor market include the following:

1. Technological innovation: a leap from "rigidity" to "flexibility"

Multimodal perception technology integration

Visual tactile sensor: based on optical principles, micron-level resolution tactile reconstruction is achieved, breaking through the limitations of traditional sensors.

Capacitive/magnetoelectric sensors: Capacitive sensors can measure three-dimensional force and proximity, and magnetoelectric sensors are sensitive to weak forces. The combination of the two improves grasping accuracy.

Flexible material application: Conductive polymers, graphene and other materials make sensors highly sensitive (pressure sensitivity up to 0.1kPa) and ultra-thin (thickness only 0.1mm), simulating human skin touch.

AI algorithm enables intelligent feedback

Deep learning algorithms optimize tactile signal analysis, realize dynamic force perception and distributed collaboration, and significantly improve robot operation accuracy.

Technical route iteration

Rigid MEMS sensors are transformed into flexible sensors, and the latter has a rapid penetration rate in medical robots, consumer electronics and other fields.

2. Demand explosion: multi-scenario applications drive market expansion

The commercialization of humanoid robots is accelerating, and tactile sensors are core components, and demand will explode with the robot market.

Typical applications: Dexterous fingertips need to integrate three-dimensional force perception to achieve generalized operation.

Expansion in the field of consumer electronics

VR/AR equipment: The cost of a single set of VR glove sensors exceeds US$200, but the domestic penetration rate is less than 20%, and the market potential is huge.

Smart wearables: Flexible tactile sensors are used for health monitoring to achieve real-time feedback of physiological signals such as heart rate and blood pressure.

Demand for medical and industrial automation

Medical robots: Tactile sensors improve surgical accuracy and reduce human errors.

Industrial testing: High-precision sensors are used for product quality testing to improve production efficiency.

Integration of the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence

The demand for environmental perception of Internet of Things devices has increased, and tactile sensors, as core components of the perception layer, have continued to grow in market demand.

3. Policy support: Promoting industrial upgrading worldwide

Strategic layout at the national level

China's "14th Five-Year Plan" lists flexible electronics as the core battlefield of "smart hardware". The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology issued the "Guiding Opinions on the Innovation and Development of Humanoid Robots" to promote the improvement of the smart sensor industry chain.

The US "Advanced Manufacturing Partnership Program" has invested $100 billion in flexible electronics to strengthen global technological competitiveness.

Local policy support

Local governments attract enterprises to settle in through financial subsidies, tax incentives, industrial park construction and other measures to form an industrial agglomeration effect.

International cooperation and standard setting

Governments of various countries promote the formulation of industry standards such as agricultural sensors, promote technical specifications and market access, and strengthen international cooperation to enhance technological competitiveness.

IV. Cost optimization: scale effect and domestic substitution

Massive production drives cost reduction

With the improvement of the industrial chain and large-scale production, the fixed cost of tactile sensors is diluted, and the price is expected to drop from a single thousand yuan level to a lower level.

Typical case: Heshan Technology optimizes costs and improves market competitiveness through a full-chain solution.

Domestic substitution and technological breakthroughs

Domestic companies break through key material technologies such as silver nanowire conductive films, reduce import dependence, and promote cost optimization.

For example, the yield rate of Huake Chuangzhi silver nanowire conductive film has increased to 85%, accelerating the process of domestic substitution.

Application scenario expansion

Cost reduction will promote the application of tactile sensors in generalized scenarios such as home services and telemedicine, further driving market demand.

5. Industrial chain upgrade: full-chain collaboration from materials to systems

Upstream material innovation

The application of flexible materials such as conductive silicone and graphene improves sensor sensitivity and durability.

Breakthrough in MEMS micro-nano processing technology to achieve miniaturization and integration of sensors.

Midstream manufacturing upgrade

Automated production lines and smart factory construction to improve production efficiency and product quality.

Typical enterprise: Pasini Perception Technology improves grasping accuracy through the integration of Hall effect sensors and vision.

Downstream application ecosystem construction

Tactile sensors are deeply integrated with robots, consumer electronics, medical and other fields to form a cross-border application ecosystem.

The tactile sensor market is ushering in a golden period of coordinated development of technology, demand, policy, cost and industrial chain. In the future, with the acceleration of the commercialization of humanoid robots, the expansion of the consumer electronics field and the growth of medical automation demand, the scale of the tactile sensor market will continue to expand. At the same time, policy support and domestic substitution will further promote industrial upgrading, forming a virtuous cycle of "technology-driven-demand-driven-policy-boosted-cost optimization-ecological construction", injecting new momentum into the global sensor industry.

In the global tactile sensor market, companies in developed countries such as Europe, United States, and Japan dominate. These companies have strong competitive advantages in technology research and development, product innovation, and market development. In recent years, Chinese tactile sensor companies have also made significant progress. Although there is still a certain gap compared with foreign companies, domestic companies have continued to work hard in technology research and development and market development, and are gradually emerging.

With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous expansion of the market, it is believed that Chinese tactile sensor companies will usher in a broader development space in the future. At the same time, cooperation and exchanges between domestic and foreign companies will also promote the further development and innovation of tactile sensor technology.

Although research in the field of tactile sensing has made many breakthroughs in recent years, it still faces many challenges in practical applications, such as performance degradation of sensors during repeated deformation, crosstalk decoupling of multi-dimensional and multi-stimulus simultaneous detection, and matching of force, heat, and electrical properties between devices within the integrated sensing system. These challenges have brought new development opportunities and pointed out the future development direction for the preparation of related materials, device processing, and system integration. There is no doubt that tactile sensors will develop in a more flexible, miniaturized, intelligent, multifunctional, and humanized direction, and their applicable boundaries will be greatly broadened, playing a more irreplaceable role in more fields.

Although this field has broad prospects, the high R&D and manufacturing costs limit breakthroughs in future applications to a certain extent. Some research on bionic tactile sensations is still under exploration. Due to the limited development of tactile technology, the industry is still exploring the commercialization scenarios of tactile pressure sensor applications. There is great uncertainty in the market.
