The fingerprint sensor market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• The market size for fingerprint sensors has seen a significant surge in the previous years. It is forecasted to swell from $6.86 billion in 2024 to an estimated $8.07 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.5%.
The historical growth phase is primarily due to heightened security and authentication requirements, rising adoption of mobile devices, involvement of government and law enforcement, expanded use in the realm of financial services, and growing applications in healthcare.
The fingerprint sensor market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• In the coming years, the fingerprint sensor market is projected to experience considerable growth, escalating to $15.35 billion by 2029 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.5%.
Factors fuelling the growth during this forecast period include increased e-commerce and online security, protection of healthcare data, application of biometrics in the automotive sector, regulatory compliance, and heightened border security and immigration. Key trends that will dominate the forecast period are in-display fingerprint sensors, ultrasonic fingerprint technologies, under-display cameras, and multimodal biometrics.
The growth of the fingerprint sensor market is predicted to surge due to the increasing acceptance of the Internet of Things. The Internet of Things is an integrated system of interconnected computing devices, mechanical and digital equipment, each with unique identities (UIDs), and the capability to transmit data without the need for human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction. The surge in the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) is propelled by several interconnected elements that boost efficiency, convenience and connectivity across numerous sectors. Fingerprint sensors have a significant role in advancing the adaptation of the Internet of Things (IoT) by strengthening security, improving the user experience and supporting seamless integration among interconnected devices. For example, a report issued by Ericsson, a telecommunications company based in Sweden, stated that worldwide IoT connections soared to 15.7 billion in 2023 and are predicted to rise by 16% to 38.8 billion connections by 2029. Hence, the rapid uptake of the Internet of Things is anticipated to intensify the expansion of the fingerprint sensor market.
