Biometric Authentication & Identification Market Growth
                     Market Highlights 
The imperative need for efficient security systems to secure confidential data in enterprises has led 
to an increasing demand for biometrics. Biometrics offer several advantages in high-end 
identification management as they are precise, easy and safe to use, accountable, secure, user-
friendly, convenient, and scalable. The advantages of the technology are expected to play a major 
role in pushing the global biometrics authentication and identification market, mentions Market 
Research Report (MRFR) in its recently published report.  
MRFR states that the global market is projected to garner considerable growth during the forecast 
period due to a number of key factors. Rising concerns related to global security and safety, the 
massive demand for security protocols, and the integration of biometrics across various industry 
verticals like government, banking, homeland security, financial institutions, and others are 
expected to be key drivers of the global market. Biometrics even hold novel use in government 
projects like visas and passports and serve as a key technology for unique identification and 
authentication purposes. Additionally, the booming demand for smartphones, increasing support 
from the government, increasing adoption of biometrics in the healthcare and banking sector, and 
the usage of biometrics in smartphone technologies are some of the other key drivers of the global 
market.  
However, on the other hand, the growth of the global biometric authentication & identification 
market can be hampered by the high deployment pricing associated with biometric systems and 
difficulties in integrating the technology into existing software.  
Segmentation: 
The global biometric authentication & identification market growth segmentation is based on the 
basis of the following key dynamics:  authentication type, component, motility, and application.  
By authentication type, the market divides into multi-factor authentication and single factor 
authentication.  
The single factor authentication segment is narrowed down into iris recognition, fingerprint 
recognition, face recognition, palm print recognition, signature recognition, and vein recognition. 
While, the multi-factor authentication segment is broken down into biometrics combined with pin 
technology and biometrics combined with smart card technology.  
By motility, the market segments into fixed and mobile.  
By component, the market comprises scanners, fingerprint readers, and camera.  
By application, the market includes healthcare, banking and financial institutions, enterprise, 
consumer electronics, government, retail and commerce, among others.  
Regional Analysis: 
The global biometric authentication & identification market is geographically distributed across the 
following regions: Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, and the Middle East & Africa.  
North America spearheads the global biometric authentication & identification market with the 
highest share. The region is further anticipated to grow during the forecast period and retain its 
position in the market. The growth of the North American market can be attributed to the massive 
scale investments being made by the customs and border protection (CBP) agency across airport 
and border security systems.  
Asia Pacific is another key region in the global landscape. The region is expected to register an 
impressive growth in the biometric authentication & identification market over the forecast period. 
This is due to the various ID enrollment projects undertaken across major developing economies 
like India and China.  
The European region stands second in the biometric authentication & identification market and 
boasts a similar growth pattern as that of North America. Lastly, the Middle East & Africa market 
holds a minimal share in the market but is expected to attain growth at a fast rate during the 
forecast period.  
Competitive Landscape 
The biometric authentication & identification market is highly competitive and hosts a number key 
and prominent players as well as various emerging organizations. The presence of a wide pool of 
application-specific vendors that compete in terms of quality, technology, and price is one of the 
highlighting characterizations of the market. Some of the key players identified by MRFR in the 
global market are: Apple Inc., Crossmatch Technologies, 3M Cogent, Diamond Fortress 
Technologies, Fingerprint Cards AB, Cognitec Systems, Synaptics Inc., Aware INC, Bio-Key 
International Inc., Anviz Global, Fujitsu Global, and others.  
May 23rd, 2019, LumenVox and MODIS ITO made the announcement of inking a partnership deal to 
deliver customer voice and biometric authentication solutions to companies.  
June 5th, 2019, it was revealed through a release that IDEX Biometrics ASA, a global leader in 
advanced fingerprint authentication and identification solutions, is collaborating with Tongxin 
Microelectronics Co., Ltd. The deal is aimed at creating a compatible biometric smart card solution.
