Market research analysts at Technavio have predicted that the global gesture recognition market for emerging applications will grow tremendously during the forecast period and will post a CAGR of more than 52% by 2020. OEMS in the automotive industry have always been focusing on providing a more efficient and intuitive interactive system between the driver and the vehicle by developing new forms of interaction platforms. Gesture recognition technology enables the driver to control a number of vehicle functions efficiently, enhances driver and passenger safety, and will soon find significant applications in controlling a vehicle’s infotainment system. Moreover, integrating gesture recognition with the heads-up display will eliminate driver distractions, which will further enhance passenger safety. One of the major automotive manufacturers, BMW has already implemented gesture recognition technology in its Series 7 automobiles, and this will encourage other automotive OEMs to deploy this technology in their next-generation vehicles.
In terms of geography, APAC will dominate the market by the end of the forecast period and is expected to account for a total market share of almost 41% by 2020. Though the region is slow to adopt gesture recognition devices for gaming consoles, the strong demand for smart TVs has attracted several new TV manufacturers, such as Xiaomi to enter the market and this will subsequently fuel the growth of the market in this region. Also, the rising disposable income of the developing countries such as China and India will lead to the growth in demand for luxury cars which will again aid in the growth of this market in APAC in the next four years.
The market is currently still in its growth stage and is characterized by the presence of a number of gesture recognition companies that have a significant presence in the market, which results in the commercialization of their products. The recent years have witnessed several pure-play companies being acquired by larger corporations for their advanced technologies. Since the large corporations will not want to miss out on the significant growth opportunities the market presents, there will be a number of M&As throughout the forecast period as well.
The leading vendors in the market are -
During 2015, the 2D gesture recognition segment accounted for almost 64% of the total market share and dominated this market. Smart TVs were the major consumer electronic devices incorporating gesture recognition technology and the exponential increase in the demand for smart TVs is identified to be a major factor for the growth in this market segment. Also, the cost of incorporating 2D gesture recognition technology is very less compared to the cost of incorporating 3D gesture recognition, which in turn, propels the demand for the integration of 2D gesture recognition.
This market study estimates that the consumer electronics segment will account for a maximum share of the global gesture recognition market for emerging applications and will also dominate the industry throughout the forecast period. This mainly attributes to the fact that consumer electronic devices are sold in high numbers compared to luxury cars. Analysts have identified that smart TVs and gaming consoles will be major revenue contributors to the market in the coming years.
Technavio also offers customization on reports based on specific client requirement.
Gesture recognition is a technology that interprets human gestures with the help of mathematical algorithms. The current focus in the field of gesture recognition technology includes emotion recognition from the face and hand gesture. Gesture recognition facilitates humans’ interaction with the machine and allows them to communicate naturally without the help of any mechanical devices. The advent and growing popularity of gesture control could potentially make conventional input devices like mouse, keyboards and touch-screens redundant. Gesture recognition enhances the user’s experience and at the same time improves the quality of service.
