Optical Fingerprint Sensor Market Size, Segments, Growth and Trends by Forecast to 2023
Optical Fingerprint
Sensor Market Highlights:
A fingerprint sensor is an electronic device which converts the
fingerprint pattern into a digital image by identifying the valleys and ridges
in the fingerprint. Fingerprint sensors are usually categorized into optical,
capacitive, thermal, Piezo electrical, ultrasonic types. Optical finger print
sensor is the one that captures the digital image of the fingerprint by emitting
the light from light emitting diodes, directed by the lens towards CMOS optical
imagers, which detects the unique pattern and matches it with the registered
pattern.
The advantage of optical fingerprint sensor is its ruggedness, which
allows it to be used frequently in public places. However, this also adds a
potential threat, as the outer skin which can be easily overridden by the image
of fingerprint which can be detected by the fingerprint reader at a distance.
The optical fingerprint sensor, however show a good usage in the future
of smartphones due to advancement in display technology and growing trend of
bezel less displays, encouraging the smartphone manufacturers to use optical
fingerprint sensor under the display.
The segmentation of global Optical Fingerprint Sensor Market is done under components, technology, application and region. The
market is expected to reach USD 2050 million by 2023 with a growing CAGR of 15
%.

Regional
Analysis:
The regional analysis covers the geographical regions namely North
America, Europe, Asia Pacific and rest of the world. Among these regions, Asia
Pacific is leading the market for optical fingerprint sensors. This growth can
be attributed to the huge presence of semiconductor and electronic component
manufacturing industry located in China, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. The
APAC region, being led by two developing nations, India and China, is adopting
the fingerprint sensors across various applications, thus witnessing the
fastest growth. Also the advancement in smartphone technology is encouraging
the smartphone manufacturers to adopt new technology.
North America was an early adopter of fingerprint sensors and has become
an established and strong market due to the presence of some of the large
vendors of fingerprint sensors. North America follows Asia Pacific, as this
region is technologically advanced. The growth of this region also attributes
to factor like higher sales of top-end smartphones and tablets, and emerging
applications in countries like the U.S and Canada. However, Europe tends to be
a mature market for optical fingerprint sensors. The rest of the world segment,
lags other regions in this market as the penetration of smartphones (major
consumer of fingerprint sensor) with fingerprint scanner is limited. Further,
the commercial security and government usage is not much for the optical
fingerprint sensors.
The global optical fingerprint sensor market is expected to reach USD 1
billion by 2023, with a CAGR of 12%.
Segmentation:
The global optical
fingerprint sensor market is segmented into component, technology, application
and region. On the basis of component, the market is further segmented into
lens, photodiodes, cover plates, charged coupled device (CCD) and Complementary
Metal - Oxide - Semiconductor (CMOS) optical imagers. Among these, the CMOS
optical imagers and charged coupled device (CCD) perform a major role in
fingerprint detection. The charged coupled device helps the photo diode to emit
light, which gets reflected by the lens directed towards CMOS optical imagers,
identifying the surface pattern.
The photo diodes are the
array of light emitting diodes that emit the light when a finger is placed on
the cover plate (made of either glass or plastic) which is connected to the
microcontroller that matches the pattern on the surface such as ridges, valleys
or unique marks by analyzing the lightest and darkest areas of the image. These
components work in integration with each other to store and identify the
fingerprints.
On the basis of
technology, the market is segmented into electro optical imaging and
multi-spectral imaging. The electro optical imaging is a technique that
enhances the optical sensors and improves their resistance against any
fraudulent access. The electro-optical imaging induces a voltage across a light
emitting polymer firm that creates a small current whenever a fingerprint ridge
touches the polymer surface. This process produces an opposite high contrast
image, where the fingerprint valley remains dark and ridges light up. On the
other hand, multispectral imaging is an advanced technique designed to reduce
the fingerprint spoof attacks.
The multispectral
imaging is however, independently used as an optical sensor. The advantage of
the multispectral imaging is that it captures those features of the tissues
that lie below the surface of the skin as well as on the surface of the
fingers. The tissue feature represents the second layer of security in
multispectral imaging. However, the most used technique is the electro optical
imaging in optical fingerprint sensors.
