Capacitive sensing technology is the technology that intakes a human body’s capacitance as input for detecting and measuring any conductive object. It works on the principle of capacitive coupling that includes transferring energy through induced displacement current by the electric field of a network. Numerous electronic sensors operate on this principle in order to identify and calculate humidity variance, displacement measurement, proximity, acceleration, and fluid level detection of any conductive object. Adoption of capacitive sensors has significantly replaced usage of electronic devices with mechanical buttons. Increasing the number of smartphones and laptop has simultaneously accelerated the demand for capacitive sensors. Contradicting to typical inductive sensors, the capacitive sensors are capable of detecting both metallic and non-metallic substances. Out of which, the type of capacitive sensor which is used to detect non-metallic materials is termed as non-glass capacitive sensors. Materials such as Indium Tin Oxide (ITO), printed ink, copper, and other non-glass materials are preferred for construction of this sensor. Such sensors are implied in identifying a diversified range of materials such as powders, pellets, liquids, solids, and numerous non-conducting compounded matters.

Growing consumer preference in the electronic industry mainly towards PCs, tablets, and smartphones have immensely driven the market growth in favor of the non-glass capacitive sensors market. Prime factors driving the market growth are emerging technological advancement and rising demand for simpler secured access to user's electronic devices. Furthermore, boosting adoption statistics of smartphones acts as an add-on to the market. Complex manufacturing procedure and fabrication of non-glass capacitive sensors are restraining the growth of the market to some extent. Non-glass capacitive sensors offer enormous features such as low cost, high speed, stability, and extensive operations thereby increasing the adoption of non-glass capacitive sensors over conventional sensors.

Non-glass capacitive sensors market is segmented based on surface type, application, and region. The surface type segmentation includes a polymer, sapphire, and plastic materials. Non-glass capacitive sensors are implied in diversified applications that are majorly categorized under two sections namely consumer and commercial applications. Consumer application segment of non-glass capacitive sensors comprises touch-screen devices such as media players, navigation devices, e-readers, still cameras, laptops, portable games, all in one PCS, video camera, desktop monitors, smartwatches, and other electronic devices. Whereas, commercial applications segment is further bifurcated into office equipment, education/training, medical equipment, casino games, ATM machines, ticketing, retail and POS (Point Of Sale)/ECR (Electronic Cash Register), factory equipment, and automobile monitors. The consumer application segment is anticipated to grow significantly in upcoming years. Furthermore, on the basis of region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World (RoW). The Asia Pacific is estimated to grow significantly in the upcoming years due to flourishing demand of automatization. 

Key players operating in non-glass capacitive sensors market are Graphenea SA, Cima NanoTech, Inc., Apple, Inc., Rubicon Technology, Inc., Cambrios Technologies Corporation, TPK Holdings Co. Ltd., Iljin Display Co. Ltd., Canatu Ltd., GT Advanced Technologies Inc., and others.
