Biometric Vehicle Access Market Trends

Rising demand for premium and luxury vehicles fuels market growth.

The increased demand for premium and luxury automobiles is driving the market CAGR for biometric vehicle access. Biometric car entry systems are frequently seen as a luxury feature and can be found in high-end vehicles. Automakers are implementing more biometric solutions into their vehicles to suit this need as more consumers are willing to pay a premium for luxury features.

Furthermore, biometric vehicle access systems can be employed to provide drivers with a more personalized and easy experience. Some systems, for example, can alter the seat, mirrors, and climate control settings based on the driver's biometric profile. This can make driving more pleasant and enjoyable, which is especially significant in premium and luxury vehicles.

Another driver of market expansion for biometric vehicle access is the increased worry about vehicle theft and carjacking. Biometric vehicle access systems offer a higher level of security than standard key and fob systems, making them an appealing option for consumers worried about the safety of their automobiles.

For instance, some high-end vehicles have fingerprint scanners that only allow the registered driver to start the car. This stops car thieves from stealing the vehicle because they would need to obtain the registered driver's fingerprint to start the car. This might provide consumers with peace of mind if they live in locations where vehicle theft and carjacking are common.

In recent years, the growing popularity of connected cars has fueled the demand for sophisticated technologies such as IoT, AI, and machine learning, and so on. Furthermore, the demand for self-driving autonomous automobiles to bring comfort and convenience to the driver is driving the connected car technology forward.  The deployment of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) technologies for improved mobility communication, on the other hand, is boosting the biometric vehicle access system market during the forecast year.

The use of modern information technology such as human-machine interface (HMI), passenger window touchscreens, and so on is driving market expansion. Furthermore, the implementation of iris recognition technology will expand the prospects for biometric vehicle access systems. The HMI also enables the driver's dashboard to function similarly to an iPad, with a voice-activated interface for browsing information from the cloud. These positive attributes will benefit the automobile industry, hence promoting market expansion.

Fingerprint Cards is a Swedish biometrics firm that designs and manufactures biometric solutions. Lennart Carlson founded Fingerprint Cards in 1997. Their products include fingerprint sensors, algorithms, packaging innovations, and biometric identification software. Bo Löfberg pioneered the creation of the fingerprint sensor in the 1980s. During his latter years, he focused on developing a fingerprint sensor, which he later patented before passing away in 1986. The sensor was barely halfway constructed when he died, but the license was sold to Lennart Carlson, who later founded Fingerprint Cards. In 2019, Fingerprints Cards AB has introduced its first AEC-Q100 compliant biometric capacitive fingerprint sensor that meets automotive industry standards. This launch has benefited the automotive sector by providing increased security and convenience to the vehicle and the passenger.
