Over 50% Smartphones to Have Embedded Hardware Security by 2025

With smartphones becoming ubiquitous, data security has come
under the scanner. In particular, robust security is needed to
use smartphones for activities like financial transactions and
for unlocking our homes and cars. This is where embedded hardware
security can help in storing user credentials securely in an
environment called secure element (SE).


Around 35% of the smartphones sold globally in H1 2020 had
embedded hardware security,  according to the latest
research from Counterpoint’s Component Practice. Apple led with
39% market share, followed by Huawei, Qualcomm and Samsung.
Currently, the secure element chips are mostly seen in premium
smartphones, but we expect them to trickle down to the lower
tiers. By 2025, over 50% of smartphones will have embedded
hardware security.

In the latest episode of ‘The Counterpoint Podcast’, host Maurice
Klaehne is joined by research analyst Parv Sharma to discuss
different types of secure elements in smartphones. The discussion
also deep-dives into the embedded secure element (eSE),
integrated secure element (inSE), and physically unclonable
function (PUF).
