Biometric Sensors Market
Biometric Sensors Market Size, Share & Trends Analysis Report by Type (Capacitive Sensors, Optical Sensors, Thermal Sensors, Ultrasound Sensor, and Electric Field Sensors), by Application (Voice Scan, Finger Scan, Hand Scan, Facial Scan, Iris Scan, Vein Scan, and Others), and by End-User (Consumer Electronics, Travel and Immigration, Government and Law Enforcement, Banking & Finance, Commercial, Automotive, Smart Homes, and Other), Forecast Period (2025-2035)
Industry Overview
Biometric sensors market, estimated at $2,245 million in 2024, is projected to grow to $7,620 million with a CAGR of 11.8% during the forecast period (2025–2035). The rise in the adoption of biometric-based identity and authentication methods by several end-user industries, attributed to increasing security threats and incidents of duplicate identity cases, is a factor driving global biometric sensors market growth. For instance, in October 2024, Infineon Technologies AG launched the new automotive-qualified fingerprint sensor ICs CYFP10020A00 and CYFP10020S00. The devices are optimized for attaching to Infineon's TRAVEO T2G microcontroller family and comply with the AEC-Q100 requirements for the automotive industry. The sensors offer powerful fingerprint identification and authentication capabilities. This makes them ideal for in-vehicle personalization and payment authentication, such as charging, parking, or other services, as well as for authentication and identification applications outside the automotive sector. Furthermore, the increasing privacy breaches related concerns are anticipated to become opportunities for the biometrics sensor market.
Market Dynamics
Increasing Demand for Biometric Sensors Due To Rising Cybersecurity Threats and Identity Fraud
The biometric sensors market is experiencing significant growth driven by escalating security concerns across various sectors. According to the World Economic Forum, the cost of cybercrime in 2015 totaled $3 trillion and could reach $10.5 trillion annually by 2025. Banks, government bodies, and businesses are becoming more susceptible to identity theft and data breaches, and therefore, more stringent authentication systems are required. Industry reports quote that the growing cases of data siphoning, financial fraud, and online-based crimes have emerged as significant issues for many industries, particularly banking, financial institutions, and insurance companies. All these security issues have compelled organizations to implement multifactor authentication solutions with biometric technologies as traditional password-based security solutions become ineffective on a larger scale. Additionally, Governments are also adopting biometrics for e-passports and national ID programs. For instance, India’s Aadhaar system has the world’s largest biometric database, covering over 1.3 billion residents.
Technological Advancements Enhancing Biometric Applications
The Ongoing innovation in sensor technology is greatly driving the ability, precision, and uses of biometric systems. For Instance, in August 2024, MasterCard revealed the global roll-out of its payment passkey service with biometric authentication that enables users to select from fingerprint, face, or PIN verification. Likewise, innovation in ultrasonic fingerprint sensing technology has led to sensors that are much faster and larger than their predecessors, improving user experience and security. Additionally, the combination of AI functionality and machine learning algorithms is significantly enhancing the accuracy, efficiency, and usage scope of biometric sensors. These advances in technology are allowing for improved performance in difficult conditions and lowering false acceptance/rejection rates, thus making biometric authentication more versatile and reliable across a wide range of applications.
Market Segmentation
- Based on the type, the market is segmented into capacitive sensors, optical sensors, thermal sensors, ultrasound sensors, and electric field sensors.
- Based on the application, the market is segmented into voice scan, finger scan, hand scan, facial scan, iris scan, vein scan, and others.
- Based on the end-user, the market is segmented into consumer electronics, travel and immigration, government and law enforcement, banking & finance, commercial, automotive, smart homes, and others.
The Finger Scan is dominating in the Global Biometric Sensors Market
The high use of fingerprint sensors in consumer devices, and the effective implementation of biometric time and attendance systems for calculating employee productivity, work hours, and others are factors that are augmenting the market's growth. Moreover, the increase in the high adoption of biometrics by governments across the globe for enhanced security is boosting the market's growth. These sensors offer a high degree of convenience and accuracy, fingerprint sensors are becoming smaller and are more cost-effective and convenient to use in every industry. Several company OEMs' departments prefer these sensors over swipe sensors, which are particularly in mobile devices that demand smaller sensors to achieve more compact products as favored by end-users in the market. For instance, in May 2021, Boréas Technologies launched a new piezo sensor that combines gesture detection with HD haptic feedback. NexusTouch solution will blend gesture and force detection with localized haptics, which will go beyond the smartphone touchscreen, and will also detect a variety of actions, including taps, swipes, clicks, and multi-level force clicks.
