Haptic Devices Market Report 2025

The haptic devices market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $5.91 billion in 2024 to $7.08 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.8%. Growth in the historic period was driven by the increasing adoption of smartphones, rising demand for wearable devices, growing popularity of gaming consoles, expanded use in automotive safety systems, and the ongoing digitalization of healthcare.

The haptic devices market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.39 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.4%. Growth in the forecast period is expected to be driven by the increasing integration of haptic technology in augmented reality, rising demand for touchless interfaces, greater adoption in industrial automation, and a growing focus on accessibility features. Key trends projected for this period include advancements in flexible actuators, the development of multi-sensory haptic feedback, innovations in electroactive and ultrasonic haptics, integration of artificial intelligence for adaptive feedback, and the implementation of 5G-enabled haptic applications.

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.

In August 2022, Immersion Corporation, a US-based haptic technology company, partnered with ELAN Microelectronics Corporation to advance haptic feedback technology. The collaboration integrates Immersion’s patented haptic solutions into ELAN’s Smart-Haptic Pad, enhancing feedback for thinner and more interactive PC laptops. ELAN Microelectronics Corporation, based in Taiwan, specializes in developing haptic devices, and the partnership aims to improve user interaction through more responsive and immersive tactile experiences.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid rise in U.S. tariffs and the subsequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are having a major impact on the electrical and electronics sector, with semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals (essential for batteries and motors) subject to steep duties. Consumer electronics brands face profit erosion, as competitive markets limit their ability to pass costs to buyers. Industrial electronics manufacturers, meanwhile, grapple with delayed projects due to shortages of tariff-impacted components like printed circuit boards. Companies are responding by relocating assembly to tariff-exempt countries, increasing inventory buffers, and redesigning products to reduce dependency on restricted materials.

Haptic devices are interactive tools that use advanced technologies to simulate the sense of touch through vibrations, forces, or motions. They allow users to feel and interact with virtual objects, bridging the gap between physical and digital environments. These devices are designed to enhance user experience, precision, and realism, making digital interactions more immersive, intuitive, and engaging.

The main components of haptic devices are hardware and software. The hardware includes physical elements such as actuators, sensors, and controllers that generate and deliver tactile feedback to simulate touch sensations. Haptic hardware comes in different types, including active and passive devices, and is used in graspable, touchable, and wearable applications. They provide various forms of feedback, such as force, vibrotactile, electrotactile, thermal, and others, and find applications across sectors including consumer electronics, entertainment, gaming, automotive, aerospace and defense, healthcare, education, and more.
