Global Leading Market Research Publisher Global Info Research announces the release of its latest report *“Ultrasonic Fingerprint Recognition Module for Smartphones - Global Market Share and Ranking, Overall Sales and Demand Forecast 2026-2032”.* Based on current situation and impact historical analysis (2021-2025) and forecast calculations (2026-2032), this report provides a comprehensive analysis of the global Ultrasonic Fingerprint Recognition Module for Smartphones market, including market size, share, demand, industry development status, and forecasts for the next few years. For smartphone manufacturers integrating under-display fingerprint sensors, traditional optical fingerprint recognition faces critical limitations with advanced OLED screens (circularly polarized light, LTPO, Poly-less technology). These new screens reduce light transmittance significantly, degrading optical fingerprint performance or making it inoperable. Ultrasonic fingerprint recognition technology addresses this as a significant innovation in biometrics. It uses an ultrasonic sensor to transmit ultrasonic waves and receive reflected signals, generating a three-dimensional image of the user's fingerprint for highly accurate identity authentication. Ultrasonic waves can penetrate screen layers, glass, and even wet or oily fingers, offering superior security (3D depth detection resists 2D spoofing) and reliability. In 2024, global production reached 140 million units, with an average selling price of US$14.5 per unit. The market is driven by the shift from optical to ultrasonic in high-end smartphones (Samsung Galaxy, Xiaomi, Huawei, Google Pixel), OLED screen technology evolution, and consumer demand for seamless, secure unlocking. 【Get a free sample PDF of this report (Including Full TOC, List of Tables & Figures, Chart)】 https://www.qyresearch.com/reports/6093827/ultrasonic-fingerprint-recognition-module-for-smartphones Market Valuation & Growth Trajectory (2026-2032) The global market for Ultrasonic Fingerprint Recognition Module for Smartphones was estimated to be worth approximately US$ 2.44 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach US$ 8.86 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 20.5% from 2026 to 2032 (Source: Global Info Research, 2026 revision). In 2024, global production reached 140 million units, with an average selling price of US$14.5 per unit. This explosive growth reflects increasing adoption of ultrasonic sensors in mid-range smartphones (cost reduction), displacement of optical fingerprint modules, and advantages with next-gen OLED screens. Key regions: China (60% of smartphone production, module consumption), South Korea (Samsung), US (Apple, Google), Rest of Asia. Ultrasonic technology operates on ultrasonic impedance principle: when waves encounter different media (air, skin, fingerprint ridges), they reflect and scatter; sensor processes signals to generate fingerprint image. Key components: ultrasonic sensor (transmit/receive), algorithm processing chip (signal processing, image generation, feature extraction), and control circuit (system operation). Leading solution providers: Qualcomm (3D Sonic Sensor), Goodix. Exclusive Observer Insights (Q1-Q2 2026): Key market trends include: (1) wide-area ultrasonic fingerprint (larger sensing area, simultaneous two-finger authentication, higher security); (2) integration with display driver (TDDI – touch, display, fingerprint) reducing cost; (3) higher ultrasonic frequency (20MHz+ for higher resolution fingerprint images); (4) AI-based liveness detection (anti-spoofing, 3D depth map analysis); (5) poly-less screen compatibility (overcomes optical limitations). Optical fingerprint (using light) fails with circularly polarized light, Poly-less (no polarizer) screens; ultrasonic unaffected. 3D ultrasonic fingerprint is future trend in mobile devices. With new screen technologies, ultrasonic will inevitably replace under-screen optical as standard in mid-to-high-end models. Key Market Segments: By Type, Application, and Sensing Area Major players include Qualcomm Technologies (US, 3D Sonic Sensor Gen 1 & Gen 2, market leader), Fingerprint Cards (Sweden, ultrasonic under development?), OFILM Group (China, optical sensor, some ultrasonic?), Shenzhen S-king Intelligent Equipment, Q Technology (China), BOE Technology (China, display, sensor), GigaDevice (China, flash memory, fingerprint), Shenzhen Goodix Technology Co., Ltd. (China, optical and ultrasonic sensors), and Huawei (Chengdu Coreunion Technology Co., Ltd.) (China, in-house ultrasonic for Huawei phones). Segment by Type (Sensing Area / Resolution): Single-Point Ultrasonic Fingerprint Recognition Module – Larger volume (approx. 70% of units). Sensing area 4x4mm to 8x8mm (single finger press). Resolution typical 500-800 dpi. Advantages: lower cost ($10-15), established technology. Used in mid-range phones. Declining share as wide-area prices drop.
