Based on type, force sensors market is segmented into, capacitive, strain gauge, piezoelectric, piezo resistive, optical, load cell, ultrasonic, magnetic and electrochemical. Capacitive contributes majorly with applications in computer mouse, mobile phones and digital audio players owing to excellent sensitivity, repeatability and temperature stability. Piezoelectric type is growing at fast pace owing to its use in touch pads of mobile phones and to monitor combustion in internal combustion engines. Magnetic field based sensors have substantial share as these are small in size that provide higher spatial resolution and does not require microfabrication with overall cost reduction.
