Major trends in the forecast period include wearable haptic interfaces, multi-sensory feedback systems, remote haptic collaboration, haptic integration in healthcare simulation, haptic-enabled robotics.
The rising popularity of digital gaming is expected to drive growth in the haptic devices market in the coming years. Digital gaming, which includes video games played on consoles, PCs, and mobile devices, is increasingly popular due to widespread smartphone adoption and the availability of high-speed internet, which makes games more accessible. Haptic devices enhance gaming experiences by providing tactile feedback that simulates vibrations, textures, and forces, creating more immersive and interactive gameplay. For example, in June 2024, the Interactive Games and Entertainment Association (IGEA) reported that Australians spent AUD 4.4 billion ($2.82 billion) on video games and related hardware in 2023, a 5% increase from 2022, driven by an 11% rise in digital game sales. The growing demand for digital gaming is thus supporting the expansion of the haptic devices market.
Companies in the haptic devices market are developing advanced solutions such as next-generation haptic gloves to enable realistic tactile interactions in training, simulation, and gaming applications. Next-generation haptic gloves are wearable devices that provide precise tactile feedback and motion sensing, allowing users to interact with virtual environments naturally. For instance, in June 2024, WEART Haptics, an Italy-based company, launched the TouchDIVER Pro, a haptic glove designed for immersive XR experiences. The glove features six actuation points on all fingers and the palm to simulate realistic forces, textures, and thermal sensations, along with full-hand tracking with 0.6-degree accuracy. It supports WiFi, Bluetooth Low Energy, and tethered connections, making it suitable for both standalone and PC-based setups.
