Haptic interfaces provide tactile feedback to users, enhancing their interaction with devices, with use of motors, actuators, and other components to create sensations of physical touch, texture, and force.
The haptic interface market size reached $ 2,227.39 million in 2022 and is forecasted to reach $18,349.94 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 30.7%. The haptic interface market is driven by increasing demand for immersive and interactive experiences across a wide range of industries, with key market drivers being:
- Growing demand for Immersive Experiences: Consumers are increasingly seeking more engaging and realistic experiences in gaming, entertainment, and even professional applications. Haptic technology can enhance these experiences by adding a layer of physical feedback.
- Integration with Consumer Electronics: Integration of haptic feedback into smartphones, gaming consoles, and wearables is driving market growth.
- Rising Applications particularly in Healthcare and Automotive: Use of haptic interfaces in medical training, surgical simulations, and autonomous vehicles is creating growth.
- Advancements in Haptic Technology: Continual advancements in hardware, software, and materials are making haptic technologies more sophisticated, cost-effective, and miniaturised, opening new application possibilities.
- Focus on Miniaturisation: As haptic technology becomes smaller, it can be integrated into a wider range of devices and applications. It follows that product designers are being continually challenged to produce smaller, more ergonomically designed products – and that’s where In2tec’s technology comes in.
A leading pioneer in HMI solutions for over 25 years at In2tec we have delivered innovative Smart HMI across market sectors. We are known for the design and delivery of products that combine boundary-pushing 3-D circuitry in synergy with haptic and capacitive touch technologies.
We've dedicated ourselves to overcoming packaging hurdles with our pioneering Flexi-hibrid™ solutions that empower our customers to achieve their functionality, desired aesthetics, plus user experience in their HMI applications.
Here’s how we make this realisable
Our groundbreaking solutions come in distinctive forms: Dynamic, Contoured and Rigidised Flexi-hibrid™.
Dynamic circuits offer permanent flexibility, addressing quality and lifecycle issues associated with traditional electronics. Flexing during use, where normal electronics would break, our Flexi-hibrid™ technology offers superior functionality, streamlining space and improving reliability and durability.
Our Contoured solutions allow our flexible electronics to adapt to desired shapes, to ‘fit’ them, as opposed to designs having to conform to the electronics—which is a significant drawback in traditional, rigid approaches. Crafting 3-D circuit assemblies, allows for the incorporation of complex and compound curves into the electronic assembly. This provides a significant advantage by enabling increased electronic integration opportunities for HMI.
Additionally, our Rigidised Flexi-hibrid™ technology offers substrates and electronics engineered to conform to specific shapes, while maintaining mechanical sturdiness. We have developed the capability to laminate or thermally shape and bond Flexi-hibrid™ circuit board electronic assemblies to substrates, providing rigidity or semi-rigidity as needed to meet requirements of function and form.
Furthermore, by removing traditional design constraints, our Smart HMIs can be strategically placed to optimise both use of real-estate and the user experience.
Driving Innovation
Our commitment to delivering pioneering capabilities ensures that customers can achieve their technology goals and meet the demands of customers. With our continued investment in R&D, we are proud to be leading the charge in Sustainable Flexible Electronics. Elevating the functionality and aesthetics of interfaces, they also offer sustainable solutions. Our Flexi-hibrid™ Technology delivers highly reliable Flexible Circuit Assemblies, and we have developed a suite of patented technologies – ReUSE®, the design and manufacturing of unzippable electronics assemblies, and ReCYCLE™ an ultra-low energy disassembly process – uniquely these allow full end-of-life disassembly for repair, reuse, and recyclability.
