The ten market players in this report and a brief synopsis of their participation in the market are:
IDEMIA, Thales, Zwipe, IDEX Biometrics, Fingerprint Cards (Fingerprints), Infineon Technologies, NXP Semiconductors, Goldpac, Visa, and Mastercard are among the ten major companies shaping the biometric payment cards market. IDEMIA is a global identity and security specialist providing biometric card integration, biometric enrollment services, and turnkey issuance solutions that combine on-card fingerprint sensors with secure element and payment application provisioning. Thales delivers biometric payment card modules and platform services through its Gemalto business, partnering with sensor providers and card manufacturers to supply certified EMV biometric cards to issuers and pilots worldwide. Zwipe focuses on match-on-card biometric modules and turnkey card platforms that store fingerprint templates securely on-card and have obtained multiple approvals from major payment networks for contactless biometric transactions. IDEX Biometrics develops low-power, match-on-card fingerprint sensor ICs and turnkey solutions targeted at large-scale card issuance, working with card manufacturers and payment networks to enable commercial deployments in emerging and mature markets. Fingerprint Cards (Fingerprints) supplies ultra-thin fingerprint sensors and biometric software stacks that integrate with card modules and have been used in several commercial rollouts together with card OEMs and partners such as Thales. Infineon Technologies provides secure card microcontrollers and certified payment chipsets (including SECORA Pay Bio) that enable integration of biometric sensors with on-card secure processing and tokenization features required by payment schemes. NXP Semiconductors supplies secure elements, NFC controllers, and authentication ICs that support the contactless interface, power harvesting, and cryptographic functions necessary for biometric card operation and EMV compliance. Goldpac Group offers card manufacturing, personalization, and fintech-focused biometric card solutions, partnering with sensor and chipset vendors to deliver dual-interface biometric cards at scale for issuers in Asia and other regions. Visa plays an enabling and standards role by certifying biometric card solutions, running pilots with issuers and vendors, and publishing interoperability guidance so biometric-on-card solutions can work across contactless terminals and tokenization frameworks. Mastercard participates in pilots and commercial launches, partnering with biometric sensor companies, issuers, and integrators to validate user experiences, certifications, and issuer workflows required to scale biometric card issuance globally.
These ten firms collectively cover the full stack required for biometric payment cards: sensor IP and modules (Zwipe, IDEX, Fingerprints), secure payment chips and secure elements (Infineon, NXP), card manufacturing and personalization (Goldpac, Thales, IDEMIA), and payment-network certification, tokenization, and issuer partnerships (Visa, Mastercard). Market reports highlight recurring collaborations among these players—sensor vendors licensing to card manufacturers, chipmakers embedding biometric modules into certified EMV solutions, and networks coordinating pilots to ensure compliance and terminal interoperability. Key industry drivers cited across analyses include rising demand for contactless and secure transactions, NFC-enabled infrastructure, regulatory emphasis on strong customer authentication, and improvements in low-power thin-film sensors that permit reliable match-on-card operation without battery reliance[23].
