Market Scope & Segmentation

Capacitive sensors are contact or non-contact devices that have the ability to sense electrically charged objects which can detect the presence or absence of any sort of object despite the presence of any material (metallic or non-metallic). They can also sense the non-conductors as they can be electrically charged, i.e. any kind of object can be detected with a capacitive sensor. They can be extensively used in consumer electronics, automotive, and aerospace and defense, among a host of others.
