Market Share of Fingerprint Sensors Industry
The fingerprint sensor market is fragmented, with individual international companies such as Qualcomm, Fingerprint Card AB, and Synaptics occupying a significant market share by deploying their solutions in various smartphones. Fingerprint sensor firms are unlocking new markets beyond smartphones, exploring the IoT field, and integrating fingerprint sensors into smart cards. They are constantly incorporating different technologies to enhance the end-user experiences.
- In April 2023, UIDAI partnered with IIT Bombay to develop contactless fingerprint capture software for phones. The partners plan to develop touchless fingerprint capture technology with built-in liveness detection to support biometric authentication with a modality other than face. The system will capture multiple fingers simultaneously to maximize accuracy and is planned for integration with the larger Aadhaar ecosystem.
- In February 2023, IDloop, a Germany-based company, developed a contactless 3D fingerprint scanner with microscopic resolution. The company pitched its new biometric technology as a way to quickly compare fingerprints against existing databases collected with contact-based scanners, such as the three billion people already registered in government databases.
