The ultrasonic fingerprint chip module market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $1.29 billion in 2024 to $1.57 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.1%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to the widespread adoption of smartphones, the rising demand for biometric authentication technologies, growing concerns around mobile security, the expansion of applications in consumer electronics, and the increasing preference for touchless authentication solutions.

The ultrasonic fingerprint chip module market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.46 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rising adoption of ultrasonic fingerprint chip modules in the automotive sector, growing integration into smart home devices, increasing demand for seamless user experiences, the expansion of biometric payment systems, and greater use in government identity programs. Major trends in the forecast period include innovations in ultrasonic imaging capabilities, increased investment in research and development to improve accuracy, advancements in 3D fingerprint recognition, the development of multimodal biometric systems, and the introduction of energy-efficient chip designs.

The growing number of smartphone connections is expected to drive the growth of the ultrasonic fingerprint chip module market in the coming years. Smartphone connections represent the total number of active mobile subscriptions linked to smartphones, enabling access to voice, messaging, and internet services. This growth is being fueled by expanding internet penetration, positioning mobile devices as the primary gateway to digital services and increasing global adoption. Ultrasonic fingerprint chip modules are particularly useful in smartphones as they provide secure and reliable biometric authentication by accurately scanning fingerprints through the display. For example, according to Ericsson’s Mobility Report, a Sweden-based telecommunications company, global smartphone subscriptions reached 6.93 billion in 2023 and increased to 7.13 billion in 2024. These figures highlight how the rising number of smartphone connections is contributing to the expansion of the ultrasonic fingerprint chip module market.

The rising demand for contactless payments is also expected to propel the growth of the ultrasonic fingerprint chip module market. Contactless payments are secure and fast transactions made by tapping a card or smart device near a compatible terminal, eliminating the need for PIN entry or physical contact. This increase is being driven by consumers’ preference for quick and convenient transactions that reduce checkout times and minimize physical interaction. Ultrasonic fingerprint chips play a key role in this shift by enabling fast, secure, and reliable biometric authentication across smartphones, cards, and wearables, even under challenging conditions. For instance, in January 2025, the European Central Bank, a Germany-based institution overseeing the monetary policy of the European Union, reported that contactless card payments at physical electronic funds transfer point-of-sale terminals rose by 13.2% in the first half of 2024, reaching $29.83 billion (€25.8 billion) in transactions compared to the same period in 2023. This trend underscores how the growing demand for contactless payments is fueling the market for ultrasonic fingerprint chip modules.

Leading companies in the ultrasonic fingerprint chip module market are focusing on breakthroughs in technology, such as in-display fingerprint sensors, to enhance device security and deliver seamless integration with modern electronic devices. An in-display fingerprint sensor is a biometric solution embedded beneath the display, allowing users to unlock devices or verify identity directly on the screen while maintaining a sleek design and improved convenience without the need for separate buttons. In May 2024, Goodix Technology Inc., a China-based technology company, introduced its proprietary ultrasonic fingerprint solution, which was first integrated into the vivo X100 Ultra smartphone. This advanced ultrasonic fingerprint sensor uses a unique CMOS sensor architecture and wafer-level acoustic processing to generate clearer fingerprint images and ensure fast, secure recognition even with wet or oily fingers. It is designed with a low-voltage system for reduced power consumption, an ultra-thin chip module for flexible mobile designs, and simplified hardware to ease manufacturer integration. This launch marked the first large-scale commercialization of Goodix’s ultrasonic fingerprint technology, aiming to accelerate adoption by improving efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The rapid rise in U.S. tariffs and the subsequent trade frictions in spring 2025 are having a major impact on the electrical and electronics sector, with semiconductors, display panels, and rare-earth metals (essential for batteries and motors) subject to steep duties. Consumer electronics brands face profit erosion, as competitive markets limit their ability to pass costs to buyers. Industrial electronics manufacturers, meanwhile, grapple with delayed projects due to shortages of tariff-impacted components like printed circuit boards. Companies are responding by relocating assembly to tariff-exempt countries, increasing inventory buffers, and redesigning products to reduce dependency on restricted materials.

An ultrasonic fingerprint chip module is a biometric technology that uses ultrasonic waves to generate detailed 3D maps of a fingerprint, capturing fine features such as ridges and pores for enhanced accuracy. It functions effectively even with wet, oily, or dirty fingerprints. Its primary purpose is to provide secure and reliable authentication for devices such as smartphones, laptops, and security systems.

The main types of ultrasonic fingerprint chip modules include large-size ultrasonic fingerprint sensor chips and small-size ultrasonic fingerprint sensor chips. Large-size ultrasonic fingerprint sensor chips are larger modules generally integrated under expansive display areas or in devices where screen space is not a constraint. They are used in various applications, including high-end and mid-range mobile phones, and serve multiple end-use sectors such as consumer electronics, automotive, healthcare, banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), government and defense, smart homes, and the internet of things (IoT).
