One of the key trends witnessed in the next generation biometrics market is a paradigm shift in business discourse towards more privacy and less security threats. The end-users are increasingly looking for integrated solutions, rather than depending on conventional methods. The next generation biometrics providers and the governments have realized the growing importance for the need of biometric systems across several verticals, where security remains the primary concern. Moreover, the growing need for strengthening national security has increased the growth of these systems globally. Iris recognition is used in various countries for different purposes, such as passport free automated border crossings and many others.

IRIS Recognition is One of the Fastest Growing Amongst the Type of Solution

Few benefits of this technology are that it is easy to use, difficult to forge and is accurate. Terrorist attacks; other cross-border illegal activities and cybercrimes have created the need for implementing the iris recognition technology. The iris recognition application in the consumer electronics sector is expected witness the highest growth rate during the forecast period mainly because of the commercialization of various iris scan-based electronic devices, like smartphones, tablets, smart watches, notebooks, and others. However, the increasing expansion of iris recognition in several verticals is expected to increase the growth during the forecast period.

Banking Sector is the Fastest Growing Sector among Others

Next generation biometrics has attracted end-user industries, like government, defense, travel & immigration, home security, banking & finance, consumer electronics, healthcare. For instance, Major Banks are also rolling out biometric authentication. JP Morgan, Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo allow their customers to log in to mobile banking via fingerprint authentication. Voice authentication is also deployed in banks’ call centers to identify customers. Next generation biometric authentication can also raise satisfaction of their customers, as it can eliminate passwords and increase the demand to adopt for biometrics in banking sector, which makes this market grow bullishly.

In Terms of Geography, North America Holds a Major Market Share, Followed by Europe

The market is expected to witness significant growth in emerging economies, such as the Asia-Pacific region, which is estimated to grow steadily over the forecast period. Apart from the consumer electronics and government sector, the healthcare sector is expected to experience a rise in application of next generation biometrics in these regions. Few countries, like China, India, Russia, and Mexico are driving the growth of biometric systems. China has initiated a biometric national ID program, which commenced in 2013. However, the increase in computer storage of essential documents has increased the need for next generation biometric systems.
