COVID-19 IMPACT

"Market Growth Restrained by Pandemic due to Supply Chain Disruptions"

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

After the outbreak of the pandemic, many countries implemented strict lockdown measures, which led to the disruption of supply chains and the closure of production facilities. The pandemic has affected the demand for piezoelectric casting services in several sectors including consumer electronics, automotive, healthcare and aviation. Demand for consumer electronics has increased due to telecommuting and online learning, which has led to an increase in demand for piezoelectric devices used in smartphones, laptops and tablets. Automotive and aerospace industry industries experienced reduced demand due to travel restrictions and the general economic downturn. Disruptions in the supply chain and closures of production facilities have caused shortages of raw materials and delays in bringing products to market. The amount spent on research and development declined due to economic instability, which slowed the development of new products. The need to monitor and diagnose patients with COVID-19 has greatly increased the demand for healthcare services. Piezoelectric devices have been used in medical devices such as such as sensors and ultrasound devices that have led to the growth of the healthcare market. The impact of COVID-19 on the piezoelectric device pain care industry has been mixed, with growth in some sectors while demand has decreased in others.

LATEST TRENDS

"Growing Need for Accurate Haptic Feedback and Touch Recognition to Drive Market Growth"

In consumer electronics, there is a growing need for accurate haptic feedback and touch recognition Piezoelectric technology is increasingly used in consumer electronics such as smartphones, wearables and Internet of Things devices, haptic feedback and touch applications. Haptic feedback refers to the use of tactile feedback (such as vibration or pulse) to provide users with sensory cues, such as confirmation or notification of an action. Touch sensing, on the other hand, refers to the ability of a device to detect touch or pressure on its surface, allowing the user to perform various actions. Its high sensitivity and accuracy, low power consumption and small size make it ideal for these applications. It can be used to generate vibrations or pulses for haptic feedback that is more accurate and reliable than those produced by conventional vibration motors. This allows for more realistic and nuanced feedback, such as different vibrations for different types of notifications or interactions. These devices use less energy than vibration motors, which can help extend battery life. For touch sensing, piezoelectric devices can be used to sense changes in pressure or stress on the surface of a device and surface, allowing the user to perform various actions such as tapping, swiping or pressing.
