Growth Opportunities Driven by New Form Factors
With electronics integrating into customers’ daily lives, companies need to invest in the innovation of form and software to move beyond traditionally shaped devices and capture market share. This study explores the various innovations in form factors that companies are currently developing and are expected to develop between 2022 to 2030 to remain competitive. As human reliance on devices increases, traditional form factors will have to be updated to suit evolving consumer needs. Form factors will be the make-or-break element for the development and mass adoption of devices across different regions. Manufacturers will have to find the balance between cost and innovation to unlock optimal market potential.
The study classifies new form factors in the following 5 categories:
a) Wearables
b) Haptics
c) Biometrics
d) Implants
e) Brain-controlled Interfaces
The study takes a deep dive into each category, outlining its evolution and identifying key drivers, quantitative indicators, and key industry use cases. The study also identifies the growth opportunities emerging from the new form factors for market players to leverage, highlighting the elements critical for growth.
