Executive Summary
The technological advancements in 21st century
have provided people with the access to top notch
security tools such as smartphones, for their
privacy. Nowadays, one can use biometric scans
such as fingerprint or even retina scan as the
key to access their personnel information. These
specs of a person act as his/her personal
identity card because of a distinct quality that
is, no two persons can have identical
fingerprints or even retina patterns. Fingerprint
sensing is one of the primary biometric
technology that has been employed on a large
scale. Fingerprint processing involves three
primary steps enrollment, searching and
verification. On the basis of the technology
employed in fingerprint sensors, it can be
segmented into four broad categories capacitive
sensors, optical sensors, thermal sensors and
ultrasonic sensors. Among all these segments,
capacitive sensors are the most common. Based
upon the application of fingerprint sensors, its
market can be segmented into three categories
smartphones, smartcards and others. The global
fingerprint sensor market is set to experience
favorable growth driven by factors such as
increasing smartphone shipments, declining cost
of fingerprint sensor, rising mobile payment
transaction, and increasing fraudulent practices.
Further, the scope of growth for this market will
be broadened by continuously increasing size of
addressable smartcard market and higher usage of
payment cards. However, the growth of this
budding market will be hindered by the business
cycle fluctuations and risk of security breaches
such as spoofability. The report Global
