Deloitte tech survay shows surge in fingerprint identification


A new report by financial services tech firm Deloitte has shown a rise in use of fingerprint identification.

The company's closely-watched 'Technology, Media and Telecommunications' report stated that biometric device security was identified as one key trend to watch out for, with the active base of fingerprint reader-equipped devices in the field set to grow.

In the report, the firm predicts that the active base of fingerprint sensor equipped devices will top one billion in early 2017.

It also predicts that about 40 percent of all smartphones in developed countries will incorporate a fingerprint reader as of end-2017. This compares to 30 percent as of mid-2016.

“We expect that at least 80 percent of users with a fngerprint reader-equipped smartphone will use this sensor regularly: this compares to 69 percent of users in mid-2016.”

Paul Lee, head of technology, media and telecommunications research at Deloitte, said at the at the launch of the report in Belfast.

Lee said: “Billions of smartphones and tablets are expected to be capable of processing and collecting multiple types of biometric inputs, including face recognition, voice pattern and iris scan in 2017, but usage of fingerprints will lead the way.”

But the Deloitte research also corroborated the findings of others in forecasting that global sales of tablet devices would fall by about 10 per cent this year, suggesting that demand was reaching a plateau, and that household adoption would end up being substantially lower than for other devices.
