Facial Recognition Market

The facial recognition market was valued at USD 4.51 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach a value of USD 9.06 billion by 2024, at a CAGR of 12.5%, for the forecast period (2019-2024). Facial recognition has been gaining prominence in recent times, owing to the benefits it offers over traditional surveillance techniques, like biometrics. Governments across the world have been investing significant resources in facial recognition technology, among which, the United States and China are leading adopters.

Increasing demand for surveillance systems to enhance safety and security are increasing the adoption of facial recognition systems.
Government initiatives are expected to contribute to the double-digit growth of such technologies. For instance, the US government has plans to reshape airport security through facial recognition, to register and identify the visitors.
Though interest on multi-factor authentication has been increasing, owing to increasing cyber-attacks, terror attacks, and identity theft, the need to incorporate better security systems is encouraging organizations to implement safe multi-factor authentication solutions, like finger print sensors and facial recognition technology.

Scope of the Report

Facial recognition is defined as a method of recognizing a human face through hardware like video cameras. The scope of this study is limited to standalone facial recognition solutions and services offered by various vendors like NEC. The hardware components involved for facial recognition services like video cameras, sensors, etc. are not considered for arriving at the revenue estimates during the forecast period.

Key Market Trends

3D Facial Recognition is Expected to Hold a Highest Market Share

Presently, around 94% of smartphones features fingerprint sensors, but this is expected to drop to 90% by 2023. With technologies like 3D facial recognition becoming a standard approach to user authentication, growing technological advancement is expected to increase its penetration rate.
The development in 3D cameras market is also expected to bring advancement and new applications for 3D facial recognition technology, especially the healthcare IT solutions, payments, and commerce sector.
For instance, in June 2018, SensibleVision, a Florida-based firm launched its 3DWALLET technology, designed to let retailers replace cash and card payments and eliminate the need for checkout lines through a 3D facial recognition platform that identifies customers automatically and charges them for their purchases.

North America is Expected to Hold the Highest Market Share

The region offers lucrative opportunities for market growth, exhibiting a massive demand for facial recognition technology for homeland security and criminal investigation.
The biggest facial recognition surveillance system in the region is operated by the FBI. The FBI’s ID system maintains a facial recognition database with images of more than 117 million Americans. The FBI conducts, on average, 4,055 searches every month to identify individuals with facial recognition systems.
The United States alone witnessed a total of 1,579 data breaches in 2017, of which, 8% of data breaches were accounted by banking institutes. Although this number is small, the amount of sensitive data available in the banking industry is very high, making it a prime target for hackers. These factors are further expected to provide significant opportunities for the facial recognition market.
Canadian companies are also taking advantage of this facial recognition technology. For instance, Mexia One used facial recognition systems to provide secure event access at the popular industry event, Mobile World Congress 2018.
