BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATION & IDENTIFICATION MARKET OVERVIEW

The global biometric authentication & identification market size was anticipated to be valued at USD 28.79 billion in 2024, with a projected growth to USD 119.31 billion by 2033 at a CAGR of 17.1% during the forecast period.

The process of verifying, identifying, and recognizing persons based on their physical or behavioral traits is known as biometrics. They compare a person's identity to a biometric template that is already stored in the database. Because biometrics systems are easy to use and deploy and offer a cost-effective alternative for guaranteeing high-level security and assurance, they are becoming more and more popular worldwide.

The development of image processing and recognition has produced a wide range of effective applications, including medical imaging, security, and surveillance, all of which have generated enormous economic value. The adaptability of this technology has been proved by figure identification capabilities including bar code scanning, automated driving assistance, facial or object recognition, and visual geolocation, among other functions connected to industrial automation.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Infatuated Contactless Biometrics on Cloud Integration Shooted Up the Market Growth 

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

Touchless biometric solution use has risen due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Particularly, iris scanning and facial recognition have become popular because they eliminate the need for direct touch. A major factor affecting interest in contact-based biometric frameworks is the COVID-19 pandemic. In order to prevent the spread of COVID-19, interest in contact-based biometric systems is anticipated to sharply decline even after the epidemic has gone. Similarly, it is anticipated that contactless biometric frameworks—such as voice, iris, and face recognition—will become increasingly common after COVID-19

LATEST TRENDS

Artificial Intelligence Integration and Cloud-Based Solution to Refurbish the Market Growth

Biometric systems are increasingly integrating machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI). As a result, systems are able to learn and adapt continually, thereby increasing their accuracy and performance. AI may also be used to identify and stop spoofing efforts. Cloud-based biometric authentication is becoming more and more popular because it provides remote access, scalability, and flexibility. Because of this, businesses may use biometric authentication without having to make large infrastructure expenditures.
