Technology Insights

The fingerprint recognition segment led the market in 2024, accounting for over 40% of global revenue due to its widespread adoption in smartphones, laptops, and other consumer devices. Fingerprint sensors offer a reliable, cost-effective, and user-friendly authentication method, leading device manufacturers to widely implement them. Their integration into mobile devices for secure unlocking and payment authentication drives significant market share. Technological improvements, such as under-display and ultrasonic fingerprint sensors, enhance performance and user convenience.

The iris recognition segment is anticipated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, driven by its high security, accuracy, and resilience to external conditions. Offering unique identification features, iris scanning is particularly suitable for sensitive applications such as access control, smartphones, and automotive systems. Its rapid adoption is further fueled by advancements in camera technology and AI algorithms, which enhance both speed and reliability. This growing adoption is encouraging companies to expand their biometric offerings with iris-based technologies. For instance, in May 2025, Mantra Softech (India) Pvt. Ltd. extended its license agreement with Fingerprint Cards (FPC) to incorporate FPC’s advanced iris recognition software into a broader range of authentication and enrollment devices, reflecting the rising demand for reliable iris-based biometric solutions.

Application Insights

The authentication & access control segment held the largest revenue share in 2024, reflecting the extensive use of biometrics for secure entry in consumer electronics and smart environments. Biometric access control provides faster and more reliable identification compared to traditional methods. Its application spans smartphones, laptops, smart homes, and office environments, enhancing security and user convenience. Integration with IoT and smart infrastructure further expands its market reach.

The mobile payments & digital wallets segment is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to the increasing adoption of cashless transactions and e-commerce. Biometric authentication enhances transaction security and reduces fraud in mobile payment platforms. Consumer preference for quick and secure payment methods encourages digital wallets’ fingerprint and facial recognition integration. Regulatory support for secure payment authentication methods also contributes to this growth.
