Biometric Authentication Identification Market

Growing adoption across end-use industries is driving the market growth

Market CAGR is being driven by the increasing use of biometric systems in consumer gadgets and automobiles. The key drivers impacting market growth are the increased use of biometric technology in numerous sectors and the rising demand for authentication, identity, security, and surveillance solutions in a wide range of application domains. However, the high costs associated with biometric systems and misconceptions and lack of knowledge about them pose substantial obstacles to the market's growth.

Fraud and security breaches are reduced when comparing biometric technologies to more traditional methods like employing tokens and passwords. A biometric system uses a reader, related software, and a database to compare fingerprints, providing high security and accuracy. The e-commerce industry's growing adoption of the technology for secure payments is another factor contributing to the predicted growth of biometric technology during the projection period. Additionally, it is anticipated that the increased use of technology for employee identification and attendance in both the public and private sectors would increase market demand.

Major players are forming alliances to broaden their activities around the world. For instance, to enable Windows 10's newest biometric authentication sign-in feature, Microsoft recently tested and validated three new compact USB fingerprint reader accessories from BIO-Key, SideTouch, SideSwipe, and EcoID. Multimodal biometric authentication methods incorporating several behavioral or physiological attributes are also expected to improve security and recognition capabilities. The coronavirus disease outbreak has also contributed to a trend toward contactless biometric systems that assess voice, posture, and facial recognition for identity validation.

The global COVID-19 outbreak has had a significant impact on businesses all around the world. Biometric technology was very useful following the pandemic. People started wearing masks during the epidemic, which made it challenging for biometric technology devices to identify the wearer. In order to improve government screening, monitoring, and protection, this led to the advancement of noncontact technology like face and iris recognition. The pandemic has aided firms in quickly mobilizing and making both short-term and long-term modifications to their business models with regard to the sales and distribution capacities of their product offerings.

Thus, affecting the Biometric Authentication & Identification market revenue.
