The increasing demand for haptic technology in the textile industry due to integration of the new haptic technology, where people can feel the texture of the cloth by using internet. Recently a force jacket have was launched using haptic technology. This jacket include experiences of augmented reality and virtual reality, where a person can feel the haptic effects including hug and pinch on the body. This technology is used in gloves through virtual reality applications. For instance, when a person will use these gloves, it can monitor how the person is interacting with the real objects and how skin is stretching or contracting when person lift any object. These factors are expected to drive demand for haptic technology during the forecast period.
Moreover, haptic technology is adopted by the automotive manufacturers to provide more information to drivers about safety of the cars. Drivers will be able to feel the road and control the car systems using haptic sensors. Furthermore, cars are also getting enhanced to have understanding of their surrounding and react as par situation by sharing the information with driver through vibration. Currently this technology is utilized in seat and steering wheel. Steering wheels or seat can vibrate to inform driver, when lane change is happening without any indication. Thus, increase of haptic technology in automotive industry is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period.
Moreover, haptic technology finds its increasing application in healthcare. The trainee surgeons can perform virtual operation by using haptic technology. This process of conducting a virtual operation as a trainee minimizes the risk of harming a human life. Telepresence surgery is used in medical industry and haptic technology allow expert surgeons to operate patients from a distance and give the appearance of being present in the surgeries. Haptic technology provides doctors with the “feel” of virtual patients by using virtual reality application in the medical field. This is expected to drive demand for haptic technology over the forecast period

Market Restraint
Consumption of huge power in haptic technology is expected to hamper growth of the global haptic technology for mobile devices market over the forecast period
The power consumption and technical challenges related to designing of mobile devices are the major factors that are expected to restrain the market growth of haptic technology for mobile devices over the forecast period. Moreover, all the mobile devices that are enabled with haptic technology are battery-powered and thus more engineers and designers are concerned about the power consumption in the battery. Basically there are two types of haptic technologies which are used in the mobile devices such as basic haptic and HD haptic technologies. The devices which are made with basic haptic technology consume more power as compared to HD haptic technologies. When HD haptic technologies are used in mobile devices, then the consumption of power is higher than the basic haptic technology devices. These factors are expected to hinder demand for haptic technology for mobile devices and thereby expected to restrain the market growth over the forecast period.
