Having explored the fundamental questions of What is a Touchscreen (Part I), and the History of Touchscreens (Part II), now we gaze into the future to see how Touchscreens will be part of our lives in the near future.
Future Predictions
Predictions indicate that over the next 7 years the digital signage market is set to to grow to a value of US$26.3B# by 2027. This represents a market growth of 6.4% in this period. Whist the US has the highest market share currently, the Asia-Pacific region is look set to see the highest growth - great news for the prospects in our local WA and Australian marketplace.
Unsurprisingly, retail will hold largest market share in 2020 and this trend is set to continue.

Capacitive Touchscreens are the Future
A capacitive touch screen is a control display that uses a conductive touch of a human finger (or a specialized device in a post COVID-19 world) for input. This new technology is becoming critical for the future of Touchscreens.
As the modern user now has an ‘expectation’ of smartphone-like experiences with every touchscreen panel they interact with – this change in capacitive touch technology has driven a positive change in public attitudes towards touchscreens.
A capacitive touchscreen panel must be touched with a finger or a special capacitive item, such as a pen or glove. As the panel’s coating is stored with electrical charges, the location of the ‘’touch’’ is signalled by the change in capacitance in that location of the screen.
When a capacitive panel is touched, a small amount of charge is drawn to the point of contact, which becomes a functional capacitor. The change in the electrostatic field to find the location of the touch – and thus drive the instructions to the media player for a response.
Projected capacitive touch technology is the most commonly implemented touch technology in the world, offering responsive touch performance to everyone who owns a smartphone or other touch-ready device. This touch technology offers clarity and sensitivity. It will continue to operate even when scratched.
What does this technology means for those considering touchscreens in the future? Our recommendation is that potential investors in sectors such as retail, finance technology, industry and even outdoor signage, must consider incorporating capacitive touch experiences into their buying brief.
