Yole report predicts $11B consumer biometrics market by 2027 with boost from new sensors - Biometric Update

2 years ago 47

Biometrics large break-out from high-security applications successful fields similar instrumentality enforcement and borderline power to user electronics volition beryllium boosted by short-wave infrared (SWIR) imaging and optical thin-film transistor technologies, according to a caller marketplace report.

The planetary marketplace for user biometrics volition scope $11 cardinal by 2027, the ‘Biometrics for Consumer 2022’ study from Yole Group says, with caller sensor technologies arsenic a large operator of growth.

SWIR is expected to beryllium implemented successful under-display facial designation for mobile devices, portion immoderate devices volition follow optical TFT sensing to marque fingerprint biometrics enactment crossed their afloat surface area.

TFT fingerprint scanners are made by Suprema ID and others.

Among the leaders successful TFT fingerprint exertion identified by Yole is Touch Biometrix, the CEO of which, Mike Cowin, told Biometric Update in an interrogation earlier this twelvemonth shared the company’s plans for launching its enactment of biometric sensors.

Idemia Manager of Partnership for Road Safety Bob Fee commented connected LinkedIn that “Touch Biometric (sic) decidedly has the astir precocious TFT fingerprint sensor connected the market.”

Apple was granted a patent for SWIR imaging done the show of a instrumentality earlier this year.

The Yole report breaks down the marketplace by face, fingerprint, dependable and iris biometrics, and looks astatine the revenues and trends successful unafraid retention technologies. The user electronics explored see smartphones, laptops and tablets, astute location devices, astute cards and USB dongles.
