The global fingerprint sensor market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 12.8 % during the forecast period (2021-2027). Fingerprint sensors refer to a key biometric technology that has been gaining widespread popularity in security areas. Fingerprint sensors are used in fingerprint detection devices such as biometric fingerprint scanners. These devices are mainly inbuilt in fingerprint detection modules and are used for safety and authenticity. The main features of a biometric fingerprint scanner mainly include accuracy, better performance, and robustness based on exclusive fingerprint biometric technology. The fingerprint scanner is an extremely safe, quick & suitable device. Furthermore, the global adoption of smartphones and other wearables is likely to boost the demand for fingerprint sensors during the forecast period. For instance, in May 2019, OnePlus 7 Pro smartphone had optimized the performance of the in-display fingerprint technology by achieving impressive unlock speeds of 0.2 seconds.

Fingerprint sensor recognition is the most well-known type of biometric security. However, biological parameters such as iris/retina, voice, pulse, DNA, and vein, provide an advanced level of security. Therefore facial recognition and iris scanning ae gaining popularity in the recent years are likely to restrain the fingerprint market. Additionally, the semiconductor shortage in Taiwan and China will also hinder the market growth of the fingerprint sensors. 

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Global Fingerprint Sensor Market

The global pandemic of COVID 19 has affected a major block of the population. It has affected the dynamics and growth of several industries. Due to the lockdown, there was decline in demand for fingerprint sensors as operational activities of end users were stopped. The supply chain network were also disturbed which caused in profit margin reduction. However, the fingerprint sensor market is expected to recover from this global pandemic in coming year by properly strategizing according to the needs of the market.

Segmental Outlook 

The global fingerprint sensor market segment is bifurcated into by material, by technology, and by end user. Based on the by material segment, the market is segmented into quartz, lithium tantalite, and others. Based on the technology segment, the market is sub-segmented into the capacitive, optical, thermal and ultrasonic. Based on the by end user segment, the market is sub-segmented into banking & finance, government & law of enforcement, travel & immigration, consumer electronics, and others. Out of the end user, consumer electronics segment holds the major market share among others due to extensive use of fingerprint sensors in consumer electronics for biometric authentication.

The Ultrasonic Fingerprint Sensor Segment Holds the Major Share in the Global Fingerprint Sensor Market

The ultrasonic fingerprint sensors captures the fine details, and read the epidermal skin layer as well as dermal skin layer. These sensors can read wet fingers and fingers with ruptured skin or damaged skin. Advances in sensing technology are expected to give a boost to ultrasonic fingerprint sensor segment during the forecast period. The capacitive sensors are the second major prominent technology in the market due to its economical cost. The thermal technology is expected to grow fastest during the forecast period as its demand is increased during the COVID-19 pandemic to measure body temperatures.
