The implementation of facial recognition for security and automatic identification at major public spaces or events is also noted.

IoT and next-generation biometrics

The need for massive amounts of data to be exchanged while remaining secure and encrypted will lead to increased reliance on IoT-based biometrics, according to Analytics Insight.

Such systems could result in improved smart security solutions, customizable and personalized experiences, real-time processing for authentication, among a raft of other benefits, but the article warns against potential “loopholes” including the irrevocability of biometric data, the effect of environment and usage on measurements, and spoof attcks.

The article also notes a report from Mordor Intelligence forecasting growth of 35.53 percent CAGR for the next-generation biometrics market from 2019 to 2025. The report forecasts a leap from $16.36 billion last year to $93.88 billion by 2025. Mordor defines “next-generation biometrics” as facial, iris, palm print, and signature recognition.

Border security systems

A new report on the “Global Border Security System Industry” from Global Industry Analysts forecasts compound growth of 6.3 percent for the market from 2018 to 2025, adding $18.9 billion to its overall value.

The ground segment will grow at a slightly lower 6.1 percent rate, the report says. Among national markets, the U.S. will grow at 5.9 percent, while China’s border security system market will increase at a 10.4 percent rate.

Thermal scanners

With temperature scanning technology proliferating around the world to combat the spread of COVID-19, ResearchAndMarkets.com has identified thermal scanners and related technologies like body temperature monitoring as a key sector presented a growth opportunity by the pandemic.

The market research supplier recently published a list of 30 industries seeing increased demand from the current crisis, which also includes biometrics.
