電子皮膚，也稱為電子皮膚，是一種軟性、可拉伸、薄型的電子材料或設備，旨在複製人類皮膚的功能。它由整合在軟性基板上的各種感測器、電路和執行器組成。電子皮膚旨在複製人類皮膚的觸覺和其他功能，使人與機器或環境之間的互動更加自然和直覺。推動市場成長的關鍵因素是整個醫療保健領域對更好和定期健康監測系統的需求不斷成長、對機器人技術的投資不斷增加以及先進穿戴式設備的支出不斷增加，預計將在2023-2030 年預測期內推動市場利潤豐厚的需求。

此外，電子皮膚是機器人和義肢領域的重要組成部分。它使機器人和義肢能夠更有效地感知環境並與環境交互，增強其功能並改善人機互動。因此，不斷成長的機器人市場預計將支持市場成長。根據Statista統計，2020年全球機器人市場價值284.6億美元； 2022 年市場規模達到 324.1 億美元，預計到 2025 年將達到 396.6 億美元。此外，電子皮膚不斷成長的研究和開發預計將在預測期內為市場創造利潤豐厚的機會。然而，高昂的初始成本、複雜的設計和材料退化抑制了 2023-2030 年預測期內的市場成長。

全球電子皮膚市場研究涵蓋的關鍵區域包括亞太地區、北美、歐洲、拉丁美洲以及中東和非洲。由於醫療保健需求的不斷成長、軟性電子產品的進步、對機器人和義肢的興趣日益濃厚以及對人機介面的日益關注，北美將在 2022 年主導市場。而由於醫療保健應用需求不斷成長、人口老化、技術進步以及對機器人和義肢的日益關注等因素，預計亞太地區在預測期內將以最高的CAGR成長。

研究的目的是確定近年來不同細分市場和國家的市場規模，並預測未來幾年的價值。該報告旨在涵蓋參與研究的國家內該行業的定性和定量方面。

該報告還提供了有關促進因素和挑戰等關鍵方面的詳細資訊，這些因素將決定市場的未來成長。此外，它還涵蓋了利害關係人投資的微觀市場的潛在機會，以及對主要參與者的競爭格局和產品供應的詳細分析。
