Smart door lock market is hot: you must know these big trends

Thanks to the country's vigorous promotion of the smart home industry, as a smart home entry-level product, the smart door lock market has grown at an alarming rate in recent years. According to market research organizations, the market for smart door locks based on biometrics and networking has reached 3 million units since 2016. The market size will be doubled in 2017 and is expected to exceed 600 to 7 million. It is predicted that by 2020, the entire smart door lock market will reach 60 million or more, and sales will break 66 billion yuan. The industry will enter the blowout period. In terms of price, the current market average is in the range of 2,500 to 3,000 yuan, and it is expected to enter an inflection point in 2019, and the average price will drop to around 2,000 yuan.

This adjustment also seems to have a certain impact on the market conditions.

In an interview with reporters, Sheng Feng, product manager of Zhejiang Dahua Technology Co., Ltd. said: "Compared with the past few years, the smart door lock industry in 2010 showed an overall explosive situation, and there was a situation of 'thousands of locks and surges'. For the 'central hub' of smart homes, each family has different ideas, but the importance and strategic position of smart door locks is undisputed. The strategic emerging industries represented by the Internet of Things will become China's strong support and development. One of the seven strategic industries, lock is an indispensable part of the Internet of Things industry, so the 'Twelfth Five-Year Plan' provides an opportunity for the development of smart locks. Compared to other biometric technologies, fingerprint recognition as a smart lock The rigid demand occupies 80% of the family market. It is believed that this rigid demand will still occupy a high share in the future. With the outbreak of the smart lock market, it is believed that the shipment of fingerprint modules will also show a high growth trend. ."

As mentioned above, in the field of smart door locks that are about to blow out, the development of fingerprint recognition is limitless. With the rapid popularization of this technology, the fingerprint smart lock market has begun to show new changes, and the market advantage is gradually biased towards the product field with semiconductor fingerprint recognition as the core. With the gradual increase of smart door locks and the urgent need for technology transformation and upgrading, the share of semiconductor fingerprint recognition will gradually surpass that of traditional optical products and become the standard for smart fingerprint locks in the next few years.

According to industry data analysis, the current smart door lock with biometrics as the core occupies about 3/4 of the entire industry, of which fingerprint recognition accounts for 97.9% of the total. Other types of smart door locks such as face and iris only occupy very much. Small market share, so overall, the current smart door lock market is still based on fingerprint recognition technology. In the smart fingerprint lock market, some subtle changes have begun to take place in recent years, and semiconductor fingerprint recognition has shown a high-speed growth trend. In 2015, the semiconductor fingerprinting market accounted for only about 10%, but the entire market expanded to 20% last year. It is expected that this market will continue to grow this year and may break through 40% of the market. If this law continues to develop It is expected that the market share of semiconductor fingerprint locks is expected to surpass the traditional optical type next year, reaching a market share of 60% and above.

Perhaps it is this subtle change, and fingerprint identification technology manufacturers all over the country are starting to move. Since the end of 2016, more and more companies have begun to change their thinking, positioning capacitive fingerprint identification products as the key development targets of the company in the field of smart door lock applications in the next few years.

Taking Shanghai Tuzheng and Hangzhou Zhian Science and Technology as an example, according to the editors, the fingerprint identification products of Tuzheng Technology are basically based on capacitive type, and only one is for the optical field, and the well-known industry in the industry also refers to the technology. In the last year's annual report, it was officially proposed to position the silicon semiconductor solution as the key direction for R&D and marketing in recent years. With the change of the competitive landscape, more and more fingerprint chip and module manufacturers have begun to follow the big stream, positioning the development of cost-effective capacitive products as the current strategic direction of the core.

This adjustment seems to have a certain impact on the market conditions. A market salesperson from a lock company in Zhongshan told reporters: "At the end of this year, the price of capacitive fingerprint modules will be reduced by 15% to 30% from the current 70. -90 yuan is reduced to about 60 yuan, the price will gradually be the same as the traditional optical module. This aspect is due to the increasing demand for intelligent management in the B-end market such as more and more apartment rentals and hotels, which makes the smart The door locks are starting to take off now, and on the other hand, there are a large number of fingerprint identification companies that used to focus on the mobile phone industry, and the competition in the whole industry has intensified, which has caused the whole market to start a price war. In terms of shipments, we estimate that large companies such as Haier’s smart door lock shipments this year should reach 200,000 or more, and Romans’ shipments in the first half of this year have reached 11 -12 million, so the growth rate of this market is very fast."

As far as the technology itself is concerned, what are the application advantages of semiconductor fingerprint recognition for smart door lock applications? Sheng Feng said: "Compared to traditional optical sensors, semiconductor sensors have a much higher recognition rate for people with relatively dry fingers and relatively light fingerprints, better performance, higher security and anti-copy level, and overall user experience. The feeling will be better."

For some details, smart door lock practitioners told reporters: "The reason why optical fingerprint recognition has been widely used in the past is mainly because of the low cost, but it is obvious that this advantage is slowly losing. In terms of technical advantages, semiconductor fingerprint recognition is a fingerprint collection method that utilizes the conductivity of a finger and is transmitted to the dermis layer of the finger through electromagnetic waves, thereby enabling a stronger ability to prevent false fingerprints, and effectively improving the security of the fingerprint lock. The ordinary optical technology simply uses the difference of the plane image captured to collect, so the technology itself does not have anti-counterfeiting ability. Moreover, in the fingerprint lock recognition rate, the semiconductor type is higher than the traditional optical type, it is mainly The distance between the fingerprint ridge and the valley to the touchpad is formed to form fingerprint data, so the optical scanning accuracy is better, and the finer fingerprint details can be collected, and the acquisition speed is faster and less affected by the environment. In addition, in practical applications, the semiconductor fingerprint module not only has lower power consumption, but also the entire module. The product can also be made smaller, so it can be more flexibly integrated into the smart door lock. For example, many companies on the market now like to design the fingerprint recognition module on the handle of the door lock, and due to the limitation of the area, Unable to use optical module."

In short, under the background of the rapid start of smart door locks and the urgent transformation of products to technology, semiconductor fingerprint recognition will gradually replace the traditional optical technology in the next few years, and it will show its talents in the field of smart door locks. In addition, the editor believes that with the steady decline in the price of chips and modules, smart door locks with higher reliability will further penetrate thousands of households, driving home safety into a new era.
