Press Release

Fingerprint Sensor Market Expands with Area & Touch Sensor Segment at a robust CAGR of 11.29% through 2029

The increasing global fingerprint sensor market is driven by increasing demand for secure biometric authentication, integration in smartphones and IoT devices during the forecast period 2025-2029.

 

According to TechSci Research report, “Fingerprint Sensor Market - Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity, and Forecast 2019-2029F", Global Fingerprint Sensor Market was valued at USD 4.48 Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to project robust growth in the forecast period with a CAGR 11.29% through 2029.

Fingerprint sensors are finding increasing applications in the healthcare sector, particularly for patient identification and data security. Healthcare organizations are adopting biometric solutions to ensure accurate patient identification, secure electronic health records, and prevent medical identity theft. The driver behind this trend is the critical need to maintain the accuracy and privacy of patient data in healthcare settings. Fingerprint sensors offer a reliable and efficient method for healthcare professionals to access patient records, ensure the right patient is receiving treatment, and protect sensitive health information. This driver also extends to pharmaceutical companies and research institutions where fingerprint sensors are used for secure access to laboratories and confidential research data. As the healthcare sector continues to digitize patient records and data, the demand for biometric authentication, including fingerprint recognition, is expected to grow.

Fingerprint sensor technology is subject to a complex web of regulatory and legal frameworks. Compliance with international standards and local regulations is a significant challenge. Companies must navigate a landscape of laws and guidelines related to data protection, biometric data collection, and privacy. For instance, the European Union's GDPR imposes stringent requirements on the collection and processing of biometric data. Companies operating in Europe must adhere to these regulations, which include obtaining explicit consent from users and ensuring the secure storage of biometric data. In the United States, states like Illinois have enacted specific biometric privacy laws such as BIPA, which place further obligations on companies regarding biometric data collection and storage. Addressing this challenge involves maintaining a thorough understanding of the evolving legal landscape and establishing rigorous compliance measures. This includes robust consent mechanisms, data protection protocols, and transparency in data handling practices.
