Regional Analysis

Based on region, the global automotive biometric market report has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the rest of the world.

The authorities in Japan are also focusing on introducing several policies and regulations to improve vehicle safety and reduce the number of road accidents. For instance, the Japan Transport Ministry is planning to introduce safety standards for self-driven vehicles, including an alarm system that sounds alerts 15 seconds after a driver takes their hands off the steering wheel while traveling on a highway, setting speed limits to avoid the risk of accidents. Thus, biometric systems are widely used in providing safety systems in vehicles. In India, as per the Government of India, the automotive sector is projected to reach USD 300 billion by 2026. Additionally, the EV market in the country is estimated to reach USD$ 7.09 billion by 2025. Many automobile companies such as MG Motors, Hyundai, Mercedes, and Tata Motors are focusing on increasing the adoption of EVs in India. This is likely to increase the adoption of biometric systems in vehicles.

North America comprises the countries of the US, Canada, and Mexico. The rising demand for safety & security features in the automotive industry drives the regional automotive biometric market. The government regulations regarding vehicle safety in this region push the manufacturers to offer advanced automotive biometric systems, which leads to a rise in demand for automotive biometric systems in vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) focuses on adopting laws and regulations regarding the safety of vehicles. Many automakers are shifting towards electronic keyless entry systems such as fingerprint scan and voice recognition from the conventional key-based vehicle access systems in vehicles.

Furthermore, automotive biometric manufacturing companies in North America are focusing on offering advanced and cost-effective biometric systems. In January 2018, BYTON Limited (China) unveiled its drivable concept SUV car equipped with advanced human-vehicle interaction such as voice recognition, biometric identification, hand gesture control technology, and touch control features in Las Vegas, US. Therefore, the high demand for automotive safety and control systems and consumer awareness regarding advanced automotive systems are expected to support the use of automotive biometric systems in the US.
