Gesture Recognition Market Report by Technology (Touch-Based, Touchless), End Use Industry (Consumer Electronics, Automotive, Aerospace and Defense, Healthcare, and Others), and Region 2024-2032


The global gesture recognition market size reached US$ 16.4 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 89.0 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 20.1% during 2024-2032.

Gesture recognition is a perceptual user interface (PUI) that captures and interprets human motions to control devices or applications. It relies on a camera for feeding image data into a sensing device and a software correlates it with a predetermined gesture library. Once the gesture is interpreted, the computer focuses on the execution of the user’s command. At present, gesture recognition is rapidly gaining traction in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) environments to assist e-learning.

The incorporation of gesture recognition technology to provide an interactive and realistic gaming experience, along with the rising number of professional gamers, represents one of the key factors bolstering the market growth. Moreover, wearables with gesture recognition are finding extensive application in the healthcare industry to offer contactless navigation of X-ray display and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Apart from this, leading automotive manufacturers are integrating gesture recognition in different systems, such as air conditioning, windows and windshield wipers, to reduce driver workload and allow safe driving. Furthermore, the emerging automation trend in industrial processes is escalating the demand for robots, which, in turn, is driving the market growth. Additionally, the technology is being utilized to manage photos and files and initiate online payments via smartphones. Besides this, the rising adoption of contactless methods for performing different tasks in various end use industries, coupled with a shift towards e-learning solutions, due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, is anticipated to impact the market positively.
