Biometrics-as-a-Service Market Size, Trend And Growth (2019 – 2026)

The global biometrics-as-a-service market is forecast to reach USD 11.82 Billion by 2026, according to a new report by Reports and Data. Biometric security services are an increasingly popular commercial security option. They provide advantages such as strong security through accurate validation of an organization. This authentication is based on a range of biometric qualities such as facial recognition, fingerprint scans, iris recognition, and vein pattern recognition. Biometric systems are an effective system to secure the public and private offices to keep track of attendance, authentication, access control time, and others. Biometric systems provide more accurate identification, lowering the risks of security breaches. Using such a security system, access is granted only by biological characteristics like iris scans or fingerprints, which are difficult to duplicate. Thus, the system provides more accurate information, which helps with security as well as accountability. Logging activity through a biometric system helps connect employees with specific actions or events that can be referred to in any future case of a security breach.

Further key findings from the report suggest

• Among the technologies, the fingerprint recognition accounted for the largest market share of ~31% in the year 2018. Fingerprint identification is based on different patterns of human fingers, which are unique among all individuals. It is the easiest and most convenient way of identifying a person. The primary advantage of the fingerprint identification method is that the fingerprints pattern remains the same for a person throughout the life of an individual, making it a reliable means of human identification.
• The iris recognition technology is forecasted to witness a higher growth rate of 23.7% during the forecast period. The characteristics of an iris are significantly unique for each and can be recognized from a distance. That’s why it is difficult to be forged. As compared to the false acceptance rate and the false rejection rate of other biometric modalities, this method is remarkably lower. In such a way, it becomes the most secure authentication technology and has been used in financial institutes, borders, hospitals, and several sensitive projects.
• The mobile applications accounted for the largest market share of ~27% in the year 2018. In smartphones today, fingerprint recognition has become accessible for users. Various banks have integrated this feature into their mobile banking application. The fingerprint sensor, also called touchID in iPhones, can be combined to unlock the banking app and authorize payments. This added layer of security reduces the risks of the password getting hacked. As the user does not have to remember the password, it is more convenient and user-friendly.
