When users upgrade to Windows 10 without built-in biometric hardware, by installing PQI Lockey, they too, can take advantage of the advance biometric security offered by Windows Hello. As 2016 Q4 sales taper off with weak new system sales numbers and yet 500 million and counting existing computers are upgrading to Windows 10, the need for fingerprint ID demand may be on-the-rise. Another sign is fingerprint sensor manufacturers continues to grow, hinting that a boom in fingerprint ID is on the horizon. The biometric application is expect to reach 800 million units in 2017, this also include smartphones that have fingerprint ID capability. Many smartphone users are used-to and rely on the fingerprint function to unlock their smartphones. According to research data by GetElastic, when making purchases online, most people still use desktop or laptop computers. Personal preferences aside, this also hints people care about personal data security and that fingerprint sensor may bring unprecedented market opportunities.
