The leading OEMs in the automotive switch market are now focusing to implement new and innovative components in their vehicles to make the vehicle system more reliable & efficient and enhance their market share. For example, in February 2017, Mercedes-Benz installed a touchpad controller in its S-Class and C-Class models, which include rotary knob and touch keys to operate the navigation and infotainment system in the vehicle. These innovation techniques adopted by vehicle manufacturers are driving the market growth in the coming years.  

The growing adoption of dashboard display among OEMs will increase the market for touchscreen capability. This will result in growing opportunities for new haptic technology among market leaders to deliver tactile functioning of buttons, restraining the market demand.

It also allows more input controls, thereby reducing the number of mechanical switches in vehicles. This has led to an increase in the adoption of touchscreen display by major car manufacturers to deliver enhanced user interface to drivers.
