Biometric Sensors Market Trends

Biometric sensors have been installed in connected devices like smart watches, fitness bands and many other health wearables due to the rise of IoT in various domains. It helps authenticate the user or keep track of their health and other personalized experiences via such mechanisms. For instance, in February 2019, VivaLNK launched its new Sensor Platform for medical wearables based on IoT technology encompassing various sensors, edge computing technologies and an IoHT (Internet of Health Things) data cloud. As a result, it can capture human vitals and biometrics, which are then transmitted to edge devices for processing before the information is sent to the cloud for application integration and analysis.
 

Trends in the biometric sensor market continue to show that there is a need for contactless biometric technology. Different sectors have shown an uptick in adopting no-touch technologies due to Covid-19, thus leading to the creation of demand for contactless biometric identification tools. Facial recognition, iris recognition and voice recognition are some of the most common forms of this technology whereby users do not need to touch sensors directly for them to authenticate themselves securely and conveniently. Applications for contactless biometric include access systems, time-keeping applications, payment and health care processes.
