Touchscreen Industry to Reach $9 Billion

A new DisplaySearch report mentioned in the EE Times is predicting that touchsceen sales will hit $9 billion by 2015. This means an aggressive 14% rate of growth from the $3.6 billion last year.

Between the new multi-touch enabled Windows 7, the continuing growth of Apple and BlackBerry and the continued innovation within the industry I think $9 billion is within reason. I think a more interesting question is where will touchscreens NOT be adapted in 2015? Are there products and functions that don’t stand to gain from adding a touch surface?

Windows 7
