Key Growth Drivers

An increase in the number of intelligent devices, such as tablets, laptops, smartphones, and smart wearables per person, is expected to increase the growth of the studied market. Additionally, the rising demand for biometric devices has accelerated its growth.

  • The fingerprint sensor is among the most prominent type of biometrics sensors that is used in various applications and devices, due to which the demand for fingerprint sensors is rising. Tracking the attendance of the employees has become easy with the use of biometric systems. This system prevents employees from logging in for one another hence drastically reducing fraud in attendance systems. These biometric sensors have a thin film transistor (TFT) sensor that allows capacitive sensing to enable its small form factor (3.7 inches x 1.7 inches x 0.3 inches or 95 mm x 45 mm x 8.5 mm) to capture fingerprints under direct sunlight.

Global Fingerprint Sensor Market faces several restraints such as the availability of new technologies like facial recognition and iris recognition. Additionally, the high cost involved in the development of fingerprint sensors is a major barrier to the growth of the market.

  • Iris scanning and facial scanning provide an advanced level of biometric security that can act as a substitute for the fingerprint sensor. The facial recognition system analyses the shape and position of different parts of the face to recognize the person. Iris scanning is known to be an excellent security technique, especially if it is performed using infrared light. Japanese auto companies are also actively innovating to integrate iris/facial scanning sensors in their upcoming automotive models.

The impact of COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the sales and growth of the Fingerprint Sensor Market. The pandemic led several manufacturers to halt their business operations due to disruptions in the global supply chain. Several manufacturers faced chip shortages and the shelf life of produced fingerprint sensors was increasing. This segment, which comprises wearables, laptops, desktops, and other appliances, was impacted, as production declined due to disruptions in the global supply chain, including China, which is the major hub of OEMs in this segment.

Key Trends by Market Segment

By Type: The capacitive segment held the largest market share in the year 2021 for the Global Fingerprint Sensor Market.

  • Capacitive-type fingerprint sensor is widely used in smartphones, laptops, and other electronic devices. As consumer electronic devices mostly use capacitive-type fingerprint sensors in their products, their sales figures are higher than other types of fingerprint sensors. Due to their low cost, easy availability, and compact characteristics, the capacitive fingerprint sensor has also become a popular choice for biometrics smartcards, smart locks, and other access control devices.
  • The development of Smartphone Fingerprint Technology recognition penetration rate shows that the Finger on display (FOD) fingerprint display increased from 4% in 2018 to 50.30% in 2022 which shows the increase in demand for Fingerprint Sensor technology.

By Application: The smartphone/tablet segment held the largest market share in 2021 for the Global Fingerprint Sensor Market.

  • As there have been advancements in access control technologies, the adoption of fingerprint sensors in smartphones and laptops has increased. A user is now able to make easy payments via his/her smartphone using authentication by fingerprint sensors. The earliest application of fingerprint sensors in smartphones was by Toshiba in 2011, however, but Apple revolutionized touch ID fingerprint sensors in mobile devices. Apple’s Touch ID is a fingerprint sensor that scans fingerprints, reads them, and finally recognizes the fingerprints. This technology was originally a headlining characteristic of the iPhone 5S, but later this technology has been visible on several newer iPhones, like the iPhone SE (2020), and also on iPads and MacBooks.

By End-User Industries: The consumer electronics segment held the largest market share in 2021 for the Global Fingerprint Sensor Market.

  • This growth is mainly due to an increase in demand for sensors that are used in smartphones, tablets notebooks, and laptops. In 2020, according to China Internet Network Information Centre (CNNIC), around 852.5 million users made mobile payment transactions, which surged from 583.3 million users in 2018. These kinds of surges in mobile payment transactions increase the need for fingerprint sensors.
