Despite the rapid growth in fingerprint shipments, Yole reports that the average price of fingerprint sensor components has fallen from $5 to $3 at the same time, and even lower by $2, and suppliers will continue to face price pressures in the future.
Guided by the security requirements of privacy and mobile payments, fingerprint recognition has become a very popular feature in smartphones. New technologies such as CMOS/TFT and ultrasonic detection, which are constantly being invested, continue to provide kinetic energy for the expansion of fingerprint recognition in this market. According to research firm Yole, the composite annual growth rate (CAGR) of the fingerprint identification market will reach 19% from 2016 to 2022, and the market size is expected to increase from 2.8 billion US dollars in 2016 to 4.7 billion US dollars in 2022. .
According to Guillaume Girardin, Yole technology and market analyst, most of the fingerprint identification market today comes from OEMs' demand for all-glass design and waterproofing. This will lead to new technologies such as CMOS/TFT and ultrasonic detection, which will be further used to detect highly integrated fingerprint recognition.
Guillaume Girardin further stated that the original fingerprint recognition sensor is a component that can achieve convenience and protection of mobile phone unlocking. However, in the case of an increase in the number of smartphones, it now plays a role in network and mobile payment authentication. The security corner. Because of this, the demand for sensors in smartphone applications has exploded, with shipments ranging from 23 million in 2013 to 689 million in 2016 and CAGR reaching 210%.
In the current fingerprint identification and identification market, the three main manufacturers are Apple, FingerPrint Cards (FPC) and SynapTIcs. After Apple acquired Authentec, Apple released iPhone 5s in 2013, in which Touch ID's fingerprint recognition function is a highlight of the phone. Subsequently, the fingerprint recognition identifier began to be widely adopted, and the consumer market's identifier shipments also increased.
In 2017, China's fingerprint identification market will be fully launched. First-line brand mobile phone manufacturers such as Huawei, Oppo and Vivo still prefer FPC's fingerprint identification chip solution. Second-line brand factories prefer Huiding's local support service content. Samsung prefers Choose SynapTIcs as a supplier of high-end products.
In addition, after the integration of Qualcomm's Sense ID glass and metal fingerprint reader on the LeMax Pro smartphone, FPC also released the first FPC1268 solution for integrated glass fingerprint recognition in February last year, based on capacitive sensing. . SynapTIcs has released TFT-based technology in cooperation with the land manufacturer Oxi.
The fingerprint identification market is highly flexible and very important to recognizer manufacturers. After a high degree of growth, in the next few years, with the market size of 2022, it will reach 4.7 billion US dollars, and its market pie is very impressive.
However, the new business model may also completely reshape the market and redefine the market share, bringing huge opportunities and challenges to manufacturers.
At present, foreign fingerprint identification manufacturers mainly include AuthenTec (acquired by Apple in 2012), FPC, SynapTIcs and other international major manufacturers, as well as Taiwanese manufacturers such as Aegis, Elan, Duntai and Maoming. There are more than ten enterprises including Huiding, Mindwei, Fei Engel, Xinyi, Xinqihang, Beite, Si Liwei, Ji Chuang North and BYD.
