" N o r t h A m e r i c a w i l l continue to be the largest region for [the] biometric system mar- ket in 2022," Sachin Garg, Mar- ketsandMarkets' associate direc- tor - electronics & semiconduc- tor, told Security Systems News in an email interview. " T h e r e g u l a t o r y - d r i v e n activities and initiatives taken by the governments will enable the biometric system market in North America to be the highest revenue generator. To provide better security for customers, the banks and financial insti- tutes in North America have started providing multi-factor biometric authentication," he continued. The global biometrics mar- ket was worth $10.74 billion in 2015, according to Market- sandMarkets, and it will reach about $32.73 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 16.79 percent between 2016 and 2022. "The biometric system mar- ket in North America was val- ued at $3.76 billion in 2015 and is expected to reach $11.59 billion growing at a CAGR of 16.98 percent between 2016 and 2022," Anand Shanker, research analyst - electronics & semicon- ductor for MarketsandMarkets said via email. Approaches to biometrics will change over the forecast period. "Growth in adoption of multi- factor authentication methods, as the integration of fingerprint, face, and iris recognition tech- nologies is expected to widen their adoption due to the low error rate and would become a standard in verticals such as government agencies, airports, and border control in the com- ing years," Garg said. "Fingerprint will continue to be the most prevalent technol- ogy till 2022," Vaibhav Chaud- hari, MarketsandMarkets' senior research analyst electronics & semiconductor, said. "Finger- print recognition is more com- monly used in travel and immi- gration, fingerprint recognition is used in e-passports, e-visas, driving license to authenticate an individual." Chaudhari pointed to several factors driving the market. "The government initiatives to adopt biometrics in various fields, integration of biometrics in smartphones, use of biometric technology in financial insti- tutes and healthcare sectors and increasing use of biometrics in criminal identification are the major drivers for the growth of biometric system market," he said. Another technological devel- opment in the market is the potential for artificial intelli- gence in biometric authentica- tion. "Companies are working toward integrating deep learn- ing with facial recognition as deep learning-based face repre- sentation are robust [against] m i s a l i g n m e n t a n d a re a b l e to tolerate facial localization errors," Garg said.
