Industry Dynamics

Industry Trends

There are some significant trends that have been driving the technological innovations in the industry since its early days, and which, directly or incidentally, are driving the fingerprint sensors market, presently. The major trend that is driving the market is the size lessening of the fingerprint sensors, which allows their incorporation into mobile phone devices without surrendering other functionalities.

Growth Drivers

The growth of the fingerprint sensors market is primarily fueled by rapid technological advancements, increasing demand for convenient and secure user access to devices, the rise of mobile business, and widespread smartphone adoption. For example, India witnessed a remarkable increase in smartphone penetration, reaching 54% in 2020 and projected to reach 96% by 2040. This significant growth is more than double the figures recorded in the fiscal year 2016, where only 22% of mobile subscribers owned smartphones.

Furthermore, growing R&D investment and technological research in the field of fingerprint sensors will further drive the demand for these sensors in the approaching years.

Challenges

Governments across various major economies have compulsory lockdowns to battle the COVID-19 pandemic. With the lockdown in place, the manufacturing activities have been affected significantly. The global manufacturing PMI dropped from 47.3 in March 2020 to 39.7 in April 2020. Governments all over the world have come up with diverse regulations during the lockdown. For instance, the Indian government had closed down all non-essential manufacturing plants from the end of March 2020 to early May 2020. This included the closure of plants of various smartphone players, such as Xiaomi, Samsung, Oppo, and Vivo. Thus, government limitations during COVID-19 lockdowns are likely to be the major challenge for the manufacturing segment. Furthermore, safety concerns related to personal data leaks and safety concerns over biometrics are stimulating the market's growth.

Opportunities

The emerging trends toward IoT-based biometric technology and the increase in the adoption of display fingerprint sensors in smartphones are expected to offer beneficial opportunities globally. With the growing trend of reducing the bezel sizes of smartphone and the rising adoption of OLED panels, numerous companies saw this as an opportunity to develop an advanced fingerprint sensor.
