A new report is available on the face and voice biometric technologies market, which suggests that globally, the market is expected to be valued at nearly $3 billion by the end of 2018.

The growth, according to the report, is primarily being fueled by rising threats to security as well as the unobtrusive nature of collecting face and voice biometrics.

In addition, the report profiles 150 different companies competing in this sector.

The United States still accounts for the largest share of the global face and voice markets, through most of its anticipated growth is expected to come from emerging economies, with the Asia-Pacific taking the lead.

The Biometrics Research Group has also argued that emerging economies will be aggressive adopters of biometric technology – particularly in the banking sector.
