Gesture control has several applications, from electronics to the medical industry. One of the leading companies in gesture control technology developed NUIA software (award-winning), which uses gestures to control computer operation. Gesture control systems use sensors, which can be either device, vision, or electric field-based for interaction.
Gesture control's real-time benefits outweigh the benefits of several technological assets and features. Digitization, the Internet of Things, and technological components are further accelerating the use of the same. The gesture control industry has potential opportunities and is expected to gain adoption among users during the forecast period.
Application of Gesture Controls in End-user Sectors to Positively Influence Market Growth
The gesture control industry is primarily driven by growth in consumer electronics such as smartphones, smart TVs, smart wearables, etc. Similarly, gesture control technology is increasingly combining with the growing Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies, which is anticipated to drive the growth of gesture control market significantly.
The surge in the healthcare and automotive industries is also contributing to the growth of the gesture control industry. The rising use of consumer electronics, the growing implementation of the Internet of Things (IoT), and the increasing need for comfort and convenience in product usage are also driving market growth.
User-friendly nature to surge gesture control technology popularity
Gesture control technology has improved the usability of several machines and the adoption of many innovative applications in various industries. It processes the information conveyed by humans through gestures or speech. In addition, gesture control can convert sign language symbols into text through language control technology. The direction in which the user points helps accurately process and interpret gestures. This, in turn, is making gesture control user-friendly and convenient to use.
Hand gesture control has gained immense popularity in Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). Its applications range from medical rehabilitation to consumer electronics control. Different sensing techniques are used to identify hand gestures and obtain signals for pattern control. Thus, the market for gesture control is expected to gain huge traction in the upcoming years.

Expensive Nature and Lack of Commercialization May Restrain Market Growth
The gestures users use differ and are causing problems in understanding the output. Also, the motions are not being accurately read due to improper background (light and noise), which is challenging for global gesture control industry growth. In addition, devices with gesture-control technology are relatively expensive, which might restrain the advancement of the global gesture control industry. Moreover, the lack of commercialization of technology-based devices is further creating obstacles for market development.
North America holds the dominant share of the global gesture control industry, with the United States and Canada representing high consumer demand for gesture control technology. Consumers in the United States are renowned for being early adopters of new technologies. The willingness to experiment with new technologies and interaction techniques has aided the adoption of gesture control in different devices and applications. The United States is a world innovator in technology, and the region has led improvements in this industry as several leading companies creating gesture control technologies are situated here. This technological superiority significantly aids the market growth, and mergers and acquisitions further augment the development of the region’s gesture control industry.
For instance, Facebook acquired Oculus VR, thus strengthening its virtual reality platform. Thus, due to the reasons mentioned above, North America is expected to possess a 34.6% market share for the gesture control market in 2023.
Western Europe is renowned for having a strong environment for technical innovation and infrastructure. Numerous cutting-edge research facilities, technological giants, and start-up businesses focused on gesture control technologies are located in this region.
