Increasing uptake of touch-sensitive automotive switches positively impacting the PCV market

The Passenger Carrying Vehicle (PCV) segment held an automotive switches market share of around 58% in 2019 and is set to witness a growth rate of nearly 3% over the forecast period. This is attributed to the increasing adoption of multi-function automotive switches by passenger vehicle manufacturers. Leading automotive enterprises including Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW are implementing touch-controlled switches in their next-generation vehicles to enhance driver experience and adding new functionalities, such as gesture control and one-touch operations.
 

In January 2018, Mercedes introduced a touch-sensitive control button in the steering wheel for its Mercedes S class model. The automotive switch responds to vertical & horizontal swiping gestures of drivers, enabling them to control the infotainment system of vehicles without taking hands off the wheel. Such innovative solutions spurred by the increasing R&D capabilities of automotive switch manufacturers, creating new avenues for market growth.
