World-leading biometrics company, Fingerprint Cards AB (Fingerprints) has experienced growing demand for its biometric authentication solutions, with over 1.5 billion sensors shipped worldwide since 2014. Fingerprints was a pioneer in biometric solutions for Android smartphones before beginning a program of strategic diversification into the PC, access control and payments markets. In November 2021, Fingerprints formed two subsidiaries to further enhance our strategic and financial opportunities in our core mobile, PC, payments and access markets.
Diverse use cases driving biometric adoption
“Technological innovation continues to open up new opportunities for smarter, more connected living. The societal shifts of the last few years have also placed greater focus on privacy, security, stronger authentication and even hygiene,” comments Neil Mawston, Executive Director Devices at Strategy Analytics. “It has never been clearer that we cannot continue to rely on PINs and passwords so it makes sense that Fingerprint Cards’ broadening biometric solution set is seeing swifter adoption. Any technology that can increase security without impacting convenience can be a cornerstone of our smart workplaces, homes, payments and more.”
Fingerprints´ diverse portfolio is now seeing growing adoption to bring trust to a range of different devices and use cases:
Enabling a trusted digital society
“It is gratifying to see the results of our diversification work,” comments Christian Fredrikson, CEO of Fingerprint Cards. “We have done a huge amount of work to ready ourselves for broader adoption of biometrics and the market is now increasingly recognizing the value biometrics can offer to consumers and businesses. This is testament to our continued innovation and product development. And with every new market and use case, our total addressable market grows. There’s still work to be done, but with privacy, security, convenience and hygiene top of the agenda, biometrics have a big role to play in the future of our digital society.”

Biometric technology refers to the use of unique physical characteristics, such as fingerprints or facial recognition, to verify an individual's identity, enhancing security in various applications.
A sensor in biometric systems captures and converts physical characteristics, like fingerprints, into digital data for identification and authentication purposes.
Access control is a security technique that regulates who or what can view or use resources in a computing environment, often utilizing biometric technology for enhanced security.
Digital security involves protecting digital information from unauthorized access, theft, or damage, often through technologies like encryption and biometric authentication.
