Thanks to the country's vigorous promotion of the smart home industry, as an entry-level product for smart homes, the smart door lock market has grown at an alarming rate in recent years. According to market research institutions, the market for smart door locks based solely on biometrics and networking has reached about 3 million since 2016. The market size will at least double in 2017, and it is expected to exceed 6 to 7 million. It is predicted that by 2020, the entire smart door lock market will reach more than 60 million, with sales exceeding 66 billion yuan, and the industry will enter a blowout period. In terms of price, the current market average level is in the range of 2,500 to 3,000 yuan. It is expected to enter an inflection point in 2019, and the average price will drop to about 2,000 yuan.
Sheng Feng, product manager of Zhejiang Dahua Technology Co., Ltd., said in an interview with reporters: "Compared with the past few years, the smart door lock industry as a whole has exploded in 2017, and there is a situation of'thousands of door locks, bursting out.' Although For the'central' of smart homes, each company has different ideas, but the importance and strategic position of smart door locks is undisputed. Strategic emerging industries represented by the Internet of Things will become China's strong support and development. One of the seven strategic industries of China, locks are an indispensable part of the Internet of Things industry, so the '12th Five-Year Plan' provides an opportunity for the development of smart locks. Compared with other biometric technologies, fingerprint recognition is used as a smart lock The rigid demand of the smart lock accounted for 80% of the home market. It is believed that this rigid demand will still occupy a high share for a long time in the future. With the outbreak of the smart lock market, it is believed that the shipment of fingerprint modules will also show a rapid growth trend. ."
As mentioned above, in the field of smart door locks that is about to blow out, there is no limit to the development of fingerprint recognition. With the rapid popularization of this technology, new changes have begun in the fingerprint smart lock market, and market advantages are gradually favoring product areas with semiconductor fingerprint recognition as the core. With the gradual increase in volume of smart door locks and the urgent market demand for technological transformation and upgrading, the share of semiconductor fingerprint recognition will gradually surpass traditional optical products and become the standard configuration of smart fingerprint locks in the next few years.
According to industry data analysis, the current smart door locks with biometrics as the core account for about 3/4 of the entire industry, of which fingerprint recognition occupies 97.9% of the share, and other types of smart door locks such as human faces and iris only occupy a large share. Small market share, so overall, the current smart door lock market is still based on fingerprint recognition technology as the main development route. In the smart fingerprint lock market, some subtle changes have begun to occur in recent years, and semiconductor fingerprint recognition has shown a rapid growth trend. In 2015, the semiconductor fingerprint recognition market only accounted for about 10%, but the entire market expanded to 20% last year. It is expected that the market will continue to grow this year and may exceed 40% of the market share. If this pattern continues to develop , It is expected that the market share of semiconductor fingerprint door locks is expected to formally surpass the traditional optical type next year, reaching a market share of 60% and above.
Perhaps after smelling such a subtle change, fingerprint identification technology manufacturers across the country have also begun to move around. Since the end of 2016, more and more companies have begun to change their thinking, positioning capacitive fingerprint recognition products as the company's key development target in the field of smart door lock applications in the next few years.
Take Shanghai Tuzheng and Hangzhou Zhian Technology as examples. According to the editor’s understanding, the current fingerprint recognition products of Tuzheng Technology are basically capacitive, and only one is aimed at the optical field. The well-known Zhian Technology in the industry also In the annual report last year, it was formally proposed to position the silicon wafer semiconductor solution as the key direction of R&D and market promotion in recent years. As the competitive landscape changes, more and more fingerprint chip and module manufacturers have begun to follow the trend, positioning the development of cost-effective capacitive products as the current core strategic direction.
This adjustment seems to have had a certain impact on the market. A salesperson from a lock company in Zhongshan told reporters: "By the end of this year, the price of capacitive fingerprint modules will be reduced by 15% to 30%, from the current 70%. ï¼90 yuan is reduced to about 60 yuan, and the price will gradually be the same as that of traditional optical modules. This is because more and more apartment rentals and hotels and other B-end markets have a rapid increase in rigid demand for intelligent management, making smart Door locks are now beginning to be sold, and on the other hand, a large number of fingerprint recognition companies that used to focus on the mobile phone industry have begun to flock, which intensified competition in the entire industry and caused the entire market to start a price war. From the perspective of shipments, according to our estimation, the shipment of smart door locks of big companies in the industry such as Haier should reach 200,000 or more this year, and Romans' shipments in the first half of this year also reached 11 -120,000, so the market will grow rapidly in the future."
As far as the technology itself is concerned, what are the application advantages of semiconductor fingerprint recognition for the application of smart door locks? Sheng Feng said: "Compared to traditional optical sensors, semiconductor sensors have a much higher recognition rate for people with dry fingers and relatively shallow fingerprints, with better performance, higher levels of security and anti-copying, and overall user experience. Will feel better."
Regarding some details, a smart door lock practitioner told reporters: “The reason why optical fingerprint recognition was widely used in the past was mainly due to the low cost. However, it is clear that this advantage is slowly losing. In terms of technical advantages, semiconductor fingerprint recognition is a fingerprint collection method that uses the conductivity of the finger and emits electromagnetic waves to the dermal layer of the finger, so it can achieve a stronger ability to prevent fake fingerprints and effectively improve the security of the fingerprint lock , And ordinary optical technology simply uses the difference of the captured plane images to collect, so the technology itself does not have the anti-counterfeiting ability. Moreover, the recognition rate of fingerprint locks, the semiconductor type is even higher than the traditional optical type, it is mainly The distance between the ridges and valleys of the collected fingerprints and the touch panel forms fingerprint data, so it has better accuracy than optical scanning, and can also collect finer fingerprint details. The collection speed is also faster and is less affected by the environment. In addition, in practical applications, the semiconductor fingerprint module not only has lower power consumption, but the volume of the entire module can also be made smaller, so it can also be integrated into smart door locks more flexibly. Many companies like to design the fingerprint recognition module on the handle of the door lock, but due to the area limitation, the optical module cannot be used."
In short, in the context of the rapid volume of smart door locks and the urgent need for technological transformation and upgrading of products, semiconductor fingerprint recognition will gradually replace the traditional optical technology in the next few years and show its talents in the field of smart door locks. In addition, the editor believes that with the steady decline in chip and module prices, smart door locks with higher reliability will go deeper into thousands of households, driving home security into a new era.
