Abstract
Finger print sensor is a type of electronic device used for identification and verification of fingerprints of an individual. The main objective of such sensors is to decide whether to allow or deny access of an individual to any physical facility. To summarize, finger print sensors are basically combination of both hardware and software to any physical facility.
Globally rising market penetration rate in Smartphone applications is propelling market demand to greater extent. In recent five years, worldwide smartphone penetration has witness significant growth that has led to intense competition among leading smartphone OEMs. Globally leading smartphone providers are continuously inducing latest technologies to attain huge consumer base. This in return has increased market demand of fingerprint sensors that not only enhances overall consumer experience, but additionally increases cyber security of customer's data.
However, overall increase in threats due to biometric data base is hampering market growth to some extent. Moreover, emergence of IoT based biometric solutions is anticipated to result in lucrative market opportunities during forecast time frame.
Finger print sensors market is segmented on the basis of technology, type, end-use application area, and region. Type segment of the market is majorly categorized into swipe, area, and touch. On the basis of technology, the market is segmented into capacitive, ultrasonic, thermal, and optical sub segment. Capacitive technology segment is anticipated hold substantial market share during forecast time frame. one of the major reason responsible for notable share extensively rising usage in various consumer electronics devices such as laptops and smartphones. Finger print sensors are used in diversified application area such as consumer electronics, government & law enforcement, banking & finance, travel & immigration, commercial, military, healthcare and defense, & aerospace among others.
