Covid19 Imapct
The ongoing spread of COVID-19 has become one of the biggest threats to the global economy and is causing widespread concerns and economic hardship for consumers, businesses, and communities across the globe. The “New Normal” that includes social distance and working from home has created challenges with daily activities, regular work, needs, and supplies, causing delayed initiatives and missed opportunities.
The COVID-19 pandemic is impacting the society and overall economy across the global. The impact of this outbreak is growing day-by-day as well as affecting the supply chain. It is creating uncertainty in the stock market, falling business confidence, massive slowing of supply chain, and increasing panic among customers.
European countries under lockdowns have suffered a major loss of business and revenue due to shutdown of manufacturing units in the region. Operations of production and manufacturing industries have been heavily impacted by the outbreak of the COVID-19 disease; which has led to slowdown in growth of the market in 2020.
According to fingerprint sensor market trends, the COVID-19 has severely impacted global manufacturing and industrial sector as production facilities have stalled, which, in turn, have led down the significant demand in industries.
Emergence of COVID-19 has declined growth of the market in 2020, and is estimated to witness slow growth till the end of 2021. Implementation of partial or complete lockdown across various countries globally is the prime reason for this decline in growth rate. As industries were temporarily shut, it reduced the need for maintenance from various industries.
Top Impacting Factors
Notable factors positively affecting the fingerprint sensor market include extensive use of fingerprint sensors for biometric authentication in consumer electronics, increase in adoption of biometric authentication in government buildings, rise in number of identity threats, and emergence of touch less fingerprint technology.
However, security threats pertaining to biometric database and high cost associated with biometric technologies hampers growth of the market. Furthermore, emerging trends towards IoT based biometric technology and rise in trends towards in-Display fingerprint sensors in Smartphones are expected to offer lucrative opportunities for the market growth in the coming years.
