Country Specific Statistics & Information
Developing countries such as India and South Korea are increasingly targeted by the key players to develop and launch the fingerprint payment features into the existing range of products. For instance, in August 2022, Samsung Electronics and MasterCard have signed MoU as a part of which the two companies will be launching payment cards with built-in fingerprint sensors. Hence, the two companies will be launching payment experiences while reducing physical contact with payments terminal.
Furthermore, according to an article published in October 2022, merchants across the U.S. will soon be able to accept biometric payments authenticated by a customer’s fingerprint using a point-of-sale (POS) solution launched by payment processing provider Green Payments. The solution will allow users to link different payment options stored in a digital wallet including credit cards, bank accounts and cryptocurrencies to individual fingers and then make in-store purchases at the POS by tapping the relevant finger on a biometric sensor.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a moderate impact on the fingerprint payment market size since many biometric devices such as finger print scanners, vein recognition and others involve touching of surfaces. Furthermore, people started wearing face masks during the pandemic which was challenging for fingerprint payment devices to recognize the person.

Analyst Review
There have been a lot of advancements in the field of biometrics over the past few years. Fingerprint payment is observed by many as the most effective and safe method of individual identification. Furthermore, it is described as the automatic techniques of recognizing or confirming the identity of a living person in particular centered on a physiological or behavioral trait. In addition, biometrics is a quickly developing technology that is extensively used in a lot of fields including forensics. It can be used for criminal identification and prison security and has the potential to be employed in a huge array of civilian relevance projects.
Biometrics can be exercised to check illegal access to ATMs, cellular phones, smart cards, desktop PCs, workstations, and computer networks. It can also play a huge role to make business safe from scammers and cyber-attacks. In addition, fingerprint payment is very useful during banking transactions carried out by telephone and Internet or electronic banking. In automobiles, fingerprint payment can replace keys with keyless entry devices. Moreover, fingerprint payment is capable of ensuring fast and reliable protected access to information. Currently, techniques such as password verification have a lot of issues causing people to write them down and forget them at times which leads to stealing and hacking. Therefore, these factors are playing a major role in the growth of biometrics technology market.
