The rising number of data security breach incidents is notably driving the fingerprint sensor market growth in Europe, although factors such as security of fingerprint data within the system may impede market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the fingerprint sensor industry in Europe. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.
Key Fingerprint Sensor Market Driver in Europe
One of the key factors driving the fingerprint sensors market growth in Europe is the rising number of data security breach incidents. For instance, ransomware took advantage of a known vulnerability in the Microsoft Windows operating system. Microsoft, however, had already released a patch to fix this vulnerability; however, the IT departments of most of the organizations did not take it seriously and did not install the patch. This ignorance resulted in a malware attack and encrypted the data of many systems and devices, and it demanded a ransom to provide the decryption key. This ransomware was also able to infect other Windows devices on the same network, which multiplied the severity of the incident. These incidents do not honor any country's political or jurisdictional boundaries and can be carried out sitting anywhere in the world. Thus, the rising number of data security breach incidents is expected to propel the adoption of fingerprint sensors in Europe during the forecast period.
Key Fingerprint Sensor Market Trend in Europe
Another key factor driving the fingerprint sensors market growth in Europe is the evolution of 3D fingerprint authentication. The ultrasonic-based technology is engineered to capture 3D acoustic details within the outer layers of the skin, enabling superior image quality for more accurate capture and the recognition of unique and subtle fingerprint characteristics. Capacitive touch-based sensors use electrical current to create the image of the user's fingerprint. Owing to the limitations of capacitive sensors, only a surface-level impression of the fingerprint is captured. Using high-frequency sound waves, a highly detailed 3D image of the unique and subtle features of a user's fingerprint can be created (by penetrating the outer layers of the skin). Such technological innovations are expected to support the growth of the market in focus in the coming years.
Key Fingerprint Sensor Market Challenge in Europe
One of the key challenges to the fingerprint sensors market growth in Europe is the security of fingerprint data within the system. A fingerprint system is basically a digital system made up of components such as capture devices, communication channels, and databases, which are vulnerable to a wide range of attacks. An effective countermeasure to this vulnerability is to provide secure communications through encryptions. However, encryptions alone do not guarantee protection against replay attacks; hence, they must be coupled with other validation methods such as timestamps or challenge-response interactions. In addition, fingerprint information is unique for every person, it cannot be reset or reproduced if compromised, unlike smart cards or passwords. Such factors are expected to hinder the growth of the fingerprint sensors market in Europe during the forecast period.
This fingerprint sensor market in Europe analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.

COVID Impact and Recovery Analysis
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected the market in Germany. Many end-user industries using fingerprint sensors were compelled to shut down their production units due to COVID-19-induced lockdowns. Lockdown norms and social distancing norms had an adverse impact on the supply of smartphones and smartphone sensors. However, the resumption of smartphone manufacturing plants following the initiation of mass COVID-19 vaccination programs from Q1 2021 helped the market recover in 2021. This trend is expected to continue during the forecast period.
