Biometrics systems find their application in various sectors such as government, defense services, banking and finance, consumer electronics, healthcare, home safety & security, commercial safety & security, transport/visa/logistics and others. Biometrics systems usage was dominated by the transport/visa/logistics sector in the overall market and it accounted for largest revenue share of the total market in 2021. Due to the stringent security regulation and increasing number of terrorist attacks, transportation service providers across the world are focusing to improve the security at public transport facilities. This can be best achieved through biometrics and hence this sector is expected to stay dominant throughout the forecast period. Moreover, biometrics is being used in e-passport projects which use face, hand geometry and iris detection technology. Moreover, growing biometrics applications in the government sector is supporting the penetration of the biometrics systems in the market. Significant demand for biometrics technologies is also expected from banking industry in order to reduce frauds. Biometrics also can be used for the purpose of authentication in order to perform online banking or financial transactions. Biometrics ensures high level security and hence is largely being used in the consumer electronics sector. Many computers and laptops use biometrics technology for access control and some manufacturers such as Apple, Samsung etc. have started introducing biometric sensors in their smart phones. Biometrics technology is also gaining popularity in residential and commercial security applications. With the substantial demand from all the above sectors, the overall biometrics technology market is expected to see the significant growth through the forecast period.

The global Biometrics market comprises of various application types such as face, hand geometry, voice, signature, iris, automated fingerprint identification system (AFIS), non automated fingerprint identification system (non-AFIS) and others which include keystroke dynamics, DNA and typing rhythms. In 2021, non automated fingerprint identification system (non-AFIS) accounted for the largest revenue segment in the overall market.  At present, range of fingerprint sensors are available in the market such as silicon (thermal, capacitive and e-field) area or swipe, infrared, optical, pressure and ultra-scan amongst others. Non automated fingerprint identification system (non-AFIS) was introduced for business applications which replaced ID cards, passwords and other traditional methods used for identification and attendance application in organizations. Iris recognition technology is largely being used in banking, defense, commercial and IT sector. Iris recognition technology easily operates as a standalone system and can be integrated into existing security systems. Hence, due to their flexibility and reliability, iris recognition technology is expected to observe a significant growth through the forecast period 2023 - 2030. Biometric solutions based on hand geometry technology are also expected to see a steady growth with introduction of stringent government regulations required to improve safety in the commercial sectors such as nuclear plants, hospitality, universities, banking, and healthcare. This technology also finds its applications in time & attendance maintenance systems. Moreover, technologies such as signature, voice and other emerging technologies such as typing rhythms and DNA are also expected fuel the growth of biometrics technology market in the near future.

Geography Segmentation Analysis – Biometrics Technology Market

The global biometrics technology market is classified into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Rest of the World (RoW) by regions. Asia-pacific accounted for the largest as well as the fastest growing market in the global biometrics technology market. In Asia Pacific, majority of the growth is expected from India and China due to the increasing adoption of biometrics technology in government sector. The national border control projects and projects such as the e-passports, Adhaar are the major reasons responsible for the adoption of biometrics technology particularly in India. Aadhaar project in India uses iris, face and fingerprint recognition technology for providing individual identity card. In the U.S., biometric technology is broadly used in the government sector for authority verification in order to provide access at government facilities and computer networks. The U.S. and Canada have introduced Passenger Accelerated Service System programs in order to allow its frequent passengers to pass through the inspection points quickly. This system uses hand geometry recognition technology. Europe has a significant revenue share in the global biometrics technology market. Introduction of stringent security regulations in Europe such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) increased the demand for biometrics technologies in the region. Major countries such as UK, Germany, Russia, France and others have initiated e-passport programs which have influenced the demand for biometrics technology from transportation sector. Europe have also forced commercial organizations such as airlines, gyms etc. to use biometrics technologies for effective identification and authentication.
