A biometric device is a security identification and authentication system that uses biometric sensors to validate or recognize an individual's identity. Biometric sensors are transducers that turn a person's biometric data, such as fingerprints, face, and voice into an electrical signal. The sensors can measure temperature, pressure, light, or any other type of energy. With the use of biometric technology and specialized hardware biometric sensors can be used for validating and verifying an identity. The biometric sensors help solve numerous problems related to security in different domains such as education, corporate sector, manufacturing, and defense.
Recent Developments:
Developing technological advancement in wearable consumer electronic gadgets is boosting the application of biometric sensors which senses the body temperature, heart rate, and other major attributes of the individual who is wearing the device. Growing implementation of fingerprint sensors in smartphones drives the growth of the market. Increasing application of biometric sensors in cars for better driving experiences is another driver for biometric sensors market globally. Biometric identity features in luxury cars comprises fingerprint, voice, gesture, and iris recognition, which are some the major attributes fueling the demand for biometric sensors. North America is leading the market, followed by Europe. Proliferation of biometric sensors in educational centers, research laboratory and hospitals is fueling the market. The biometric sensors are often exposed to potential challenges, which may manipulate them compromising the security of the system. These factors hinder the growth of the market over the forecast period. Strategic partnership agreements with raw material suppliers along with merger and acquisition are some of the prime business strategies followed by the companies operating in the biometric sensors market to strengthen foothold in the market globally.
Restraint:
High cost of biometric technology is the restraining factor for the growth of biometric sensors market. Security in organizations such as educational institutes and in manufacturing, and corporate sector have become a top priority. But, rising cost of biometric technology is restricting educational institutes and corporate sector entities with low funds to invest in security. Hence rising cost of biometric technology is the restraining factor for growth of biometric sensors market.
Global biometric sensors market - Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic
The spread of COVID-19 hampered the global economy severely. Lockdowns were imposed by governments of various countries. The trade between countries halted and this resulted in shortage of components and material for developing biometric technology using biometric sensors, as all the countries across the globe depend on other countries for raw material or any specific component. Due to this, the biometric sensors market also faced slower growth in the pandemic period.
North America held a dominant position in the global biometric sensors market in 2021
Statistics:
North America held dominant position in the global biometric sensors market in 2021, accounting for 33.0% share in terms of volume, followed by Europe and North America, respectively.

North America is expected to account for the largest market share of the global biometric sensors market during the forecast period because of increased R&D (research and development) operations to develop smart weapons, technological breakthroughs by key players to develop smart weapons, and quick adoption of novel technologies to create precise, dependable, and efficient smart weapons. Most of these smart weapons use biometric technology for their operation, such as a gun smart gun uses fingerprint for unlocking. Hence the demand for biometric sensors in North America is expected to grow significantly in the forecast period.
Asia Pacific region is expected to show significant growth in the forecast period. The countries like India, China, and Indonesia are moving towards e-commerce and virtual payments. All of the e-commerce and banking transactions are done using virtual payment systems such as apple pay and google pay using mobile phones. Hence, security of the smartphones using biometric technology has become the main concern of people across the Asia Pacific region. Hence demand for biometric sensors is expected to accelerate in the forecast period.
