CONTACTLESS BIOMETRICS TECHNOLOGY MARKET OVERVIEW

The Contactless Biometrics Technology Market stood at USD 13.01 billion in 2024 and is projected to expand to USD 15.2 billion in 2025, eventually reaching USD 52.18 billion by 2033, driven by a CAGR of 16.9% from 2025 to 2033.

The Contactless biometric technology is one of the advanced personal authentication technologies used for secure and contactless personal authentication of an individual. This is a biometric system in which the user does not need to make physical contact with the authentication system, as against the conventional system which mostly requires finger print authentication. Although, this conventional method of authentication is secure and reliable, necessity has arisen in recent times for an authentication system with similar or even higher grade of security & privacy, especially in wake of the global COVID pandemic in 2020.

Contactless biometric technology comprises of face, voice, palm, fingerprint, or eye/iris recognition technology which completely relies over a robust camera/sound recorder technology. The usage of biometrics in a contactless form provides the benefits of secure & encrypted financial transactions, marking remote attendances, securing premise access, preventing unauthorized login and others. Without the fear of catching any contagious disease. Contactless biometrics technology simplifies the user authentication process, offering a convenient and user-friendly experience. Users no longer need to remember complex passwords or carry physical tokens, thus enhancing their satisfaction.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Market Growth Restrained By Pandemic Due To Supply Chain Disruption

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-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 level.

Impact of pandemic on contactless biometrics technology was that like face and iris recognition were being forced to adapt to the emergent threat. Biometric AI and ML algorithms were being pushed to new heights to extend governments’ protective, monitoring and screening reach. But in contrast, applications that rely on fingerprint and vein recognition modalities started suffering a significant loss, as they were heavily reliant on contact-only sensing technology – which poses a great hygienic risk and severely limits infectious control protocols

Driving Factors

Security Enhancement Demands to Strengthen Physical and Digital Access to boost the market

In a time of widespread identity theft, cyber attacks, and data breaches, conventional security methods have become progressively less effective. As such, there is a growing need to strengthen both physical and digital access points with stronger authentication mechanisms. Compared to conventional password- or token-based systems, contactless biometrics technology ensure a better level of security by using distinct biological indicators for identification. This makes them an appealing choice. Security measures are greatly strengthened by the irreplaceable nature of biological qualities like fingerprints, facial features, iris patterns, or behavioural peculiarities. The ability of this technology to authenticate people using unique, hard-to-replicate characteristics has drawn interest from a variety of companies, particularly those that handle sensitive data or operate in high-security settings. The need for contactless biometrics keeps growing as organizations and companies place a higher priority on protecting sensitive information and preventing unwanted access, making it a key factor in the transformation of contemporary security paradigms.

Increase in Government Initiatives boosts the market

Governments everywhere are realizing how important contactless biometric technology is in enhancing security, expediting citizen services, and thwarting identity theft. Governments have been leading efforts to introduce biometric identification systems for passports, national IDs, border control, and social welfare programs as a means of improving national security measures. These programs seek to reduce identity-related crimes, strengthen authentication procedures, and guarantee the accuracy of official documentation. Furthermore, governments are using biometric technology in the public sector to expedite procedures, enable safe access to government services, and effectively distribute rewards. Governments are increasingly playing a major role in driving the adoption of biometric technology. By endorsing and implementing these systems, they create norms and precedents for other industries, which encourages the integration of contactless biometrics in fields outside of government administration. In addition to strengthening security measures, the strategic alignment of government goals with contactless biometrics is essential in creating a more efficient and safe digital environment for both individuals and companies.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

High Deployment and Installation Cost to Potentially Impede Market Growth
