2018 Consumer Biometrics Market and Technology Trends

Source: Time:2018-11-28 11:03:33 views:

        In the past five years, the bright and vibrant consumer biometric sensor market has been completely reshaped! The consumer market is welcoming the "second wave" of biometrics. According to Memes Consulting, the "first wave" of biometrics appeared five years ago - fingerprint recognition entered the mass consumer market. Apple Inc. has integrated "Touch ID" capacitive fingerprint recognition technology for the iPhone 5s to promote Android (Android) mobile phone manufacturers to join the biometrics market.

        Therefore, this trend has made the fingerprint recognition sensor market reach $3.5 billion by the end of 2017. As Yole expected in mid-2016, the “second wave” of biometrics began with the iPhone X, which was launched in September 2017, when Apple set technology and use-case standards for 3D sensing for consumer applications. Apple used the structured light principle to build a complex 3D camera: "TrueDepth" to achieve a more secure 3D face recognition "Face ID" than "Touch ID."

        The 3D camera integrates five sub-modules: a near-infrared camera (using ST's innovative NIR global shutter image sensor), a time-of-flight (ToF) ranging sensor + infrared flood illuminator, RGB camera, infrared point Array projector, color / ambient light sensor. This wave is led by 3D sensing technology and is currently underway and is expected to drive the biometrics market to $17 billion by 2022.

Consumer Biometrics: Sensor Market Forecast

         However, biometrics include not only fingerprint recognition or face recognition, but also iris recognition and speech recognition. This report will analyze and market estimates for each segment of biometrics. We believe that 60% of biometric module shipments will come from face recognition modules in the future, and fingerprints will be due to fierce competition (resulting in price declines). ) and the replacement of face recognition, its market growth has slowed down.

        Corporate culture and cost-effective drive technology choices In mid-2016, Apple decided to adopt "structured light" as a 3D face recognition technology implementation method: complex supply chain plus low yield to achieve the original deep sense (TrueDepth) The camera, only Apple can afford such complexity and high cost. This is in line with Apple's "it just works" philosophy and there is no compromise in the security of biometrics. In the end, Apple has improved its biometrics standard—the integration of the TrueDepth camera in the iPhone X smartphone, replacing fingerprint recognition with 3D face recognition, so that Android manufacturers need to spend more than a year. Time can reach the same technical specifications and reasonable product prices.

        The safety and practicality of different biometric technologies For 35 years, Apple has been committed to innovation in the field of human machine interface (HMI) computing. ITW Switch This is why Apple is bringing the most advanced biometric solutions to market and developing animal expressions such as Animojis for social media culture.

        Apple's biometric hardware shipments and production forecast (2012~2023) Because most Android vendors lack Apple's core technology, it is difficult to integrate 3D face recognition functions immediately, but continue to choose low-cost fingerprint recognition technology. And use the front camera module to achieve 2D face recognition (or plus live detection), which makes the security and user experience of mobile phone unlocking and online payment somewhat damaged.

         Interestingly, we see that Chinese manufacturers are catching up with Apple quickly, thanks in large part to the fruitful partnerships in China's supply chain. Today, Chinese manufacturers have been able to design 3D sensing solutions comparable to Apple's TrueDepth cameras. For example, Huawei Mate Pro 20 and Xiaomi 8 Transparent Discovery Edition use embedded structured optical modules to implement 3D sensing and biometric functions.

        Biometric hardware and its cost changes in high-end smartphones In fact, the proliferation of biometric modules on other consumer devices will bring huge benefits to the biometric hardware market in the next five years. Structure light is expected to turn to ToF, fingerprint recognition faces double threats This report focuses on the evolution of each biometric sensing solution. For face recognition, it is expected to move from a structured light scheme to a time-of-flight (ToF) scheme. Although power and artifact corrections need to be improved, ToF modules are smaller and cheaper. For fingerprint recognition, fingerprint sensor manufacturers will introduce different integration solutions in the next three years: from “button integration” to “under-screen integration”. Of course, different smartphone manufacturers have their own technology choices.

        In the long run, the traditional fingerprint identification market may be threatened in two ways. First, compete with other more convenient and safer biometric solutions, such as 3D face recognition (with the benefit of software and artificial intelligence); secondly, through the integrated display detection and recognition function of the mobile phone display, which needs to be transparent The area photodetector is embedded as a layer of "film" into the display module, such as BOE, which is developing the technology. Another major feature of the biometrics market is the smart speaker/voice assistant. Currently, the biometric capabilities of these systems are very limited, but the final requirements (for consumer and security reasons) will drive OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) integrated speech recognition capabilities to perform custom actions based on profiles. Therefore, the need for new hardware (directional microphones, beamforming, high signal-to-noise ratio), powerful artificial intelligence (AI) and edge computing will drive the rapid development of the speech recognition market.
