Growth Drivers
Growing Usage of Contactless Biometrics in Banking Firms – On account of the increasing concern for the protection of financial transactions, the market is expected to expand more in the upcoming years. As of 2020, contactless transactions increased by more than 30% across the globe.
Rising Rate of Air Travelers – Growth in the economy and in the population across the globe is estimated to drive market growth. The use of biometrics verifies a traveler's identification at both entrance and departure points and helps in verifying if passengers are on the right plane, match luggage from the right person to the right aircraft, check passport and visa information. For instance , in 2022, India's air passenger traffic increased by over 40%.
Increasing Adoption of Automated Identification and Data collection (AIDC) Technologies in the Retail and E-Commerce Sectors– The retail industry's growing concern over data security is anticipated to drive the market growth. The use of biometric technology in retail can increase sales by enhancing shop security and improving the accuracy and dependability of transactional data. Furthermore, retailers use biometric technology to create a database of potential shoplifters. Approximately, 4000 data security risks are experienced by the retail industry each year.
Growing Internet Accessibility around the Globe – As of 2021, there were over 4 billion internet users globally.
Challenges
The global contactless biometrics technology market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by end user into government, banking & finance, consumer electronics, healthcare, transport & logistics, defense & security, and others. Out of these seven, the government segment is estimated to gain the largest market share over the projected time frame. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the adoption of contactless biometrics technology to reduce and manage rising criminal activities. This technology offers several benefits, such as it allows for the identification of criminals and terrorists. Further, governments are also increasingly utilizing biometric voting technology to assist and enable free from fraud and illegal acts elections, in addition to employing it to help in managing crime. As of 2022, robberies and severe assaults went up by more than 2% and 10%, in America.
The global contactless biometrics technology market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by component into hardware, software, and services. Amongst these three segments, the software segment is expected to garner a significant share. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the rising popularity of cloud-based services, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) for contactless biometrics solutions. For instance, by evaluating face traits and comparing them to a database, AI can make facial identification by computers considerably simpler, as behavioral biometrics are linked to artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML). Mostly, this technology is used with augmented reality programmes. Moreover, AI uses 3D biometrics and learns from millions of images to accurately identify a person's face. Furthermore, AI and biometrics helps in businesses safeguard their operations, clients, and staff.

The North American contactless biometrics technology market, amongst the market in all the other regions, is projected to hold the largest market share by the end of 2035. The growth of the market can be attributed majorly to the growing acceptance of contactless biometrics solutions in defense and government applications. The need for contactless biometric technologies to maintain high levels of security has grown in the US as a result of growing criminal activities. For instance, the Department of Homeland Security uses biometrics to identify and detect unauthorized entry into the US. According to data, approximately 40 million American adults were affected by identity fraud in 2022, causing damages of over USD 50 billion.
The Asian Pacific contactless biometrics technology market, amongst the market in all the other regions, is projected to grow with the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of the market can be attributed majorly to the increasing frequency of terrorist attacks, which has led to increased concerns regarding national security in the region. Biometric technology has gained popularity in the defense sector to verify a person's identification and prevent unauthorized people from entering certain areas where armed troops are stationed. For instance, in India Foreign military officers are being recognized on the other side of the border using facial recognition technology, and lately they are also used to detect pirates in the Indian Ocean, and monitor movements of terrorists worldwide.
Further, the market in the Europe, amongst the market in all the other regions, is projected to hold a majority of the share by the end of 2035. The growth of the market can be attributed majorly to the increasing need for contactless identification in crowded places. For instance, using contactless biometrics in congested areas of the region has numerous advantages, such as better efficiency and higher cyber security. In addition, this technology enables the identification and authentication of people, without the need of standard identity documents such as ID cards or passports or any physical touch. Further, the biometric identification technologies allow authorized travelers to move freely, seamlessly, safely, and securely while preserving the security of EU borders, which is also anticipated to contribute to the market growth in the region.
Fingerprint Cards AB teamed up with Flywallet, to introduce biometric wearable products for the market in Europe. The availability of multifunctional Fingerprints sensors will allow the products to provide enhanced security, privacy, and improved user experience.
HID Global introduced OMNIKEY Secure Element, to replace the iCLASS SE Processor. OMNIKEY Secure Element is claimed to offer broader integration capabilities, as it enables existing and new secure access identification and authentication applications, ranging from locker management to electric car charging, and adds support for credential technologies.
In 2023, market players might incur losses due to huge gap in currency translation followed by contracting revenues, shrinking profit margins & cost pressure on logistics and supply chain.
Controlling Inflation has become the first priority for global economies from last quarter of 2022 and to be followed in 2023. With skewed economic situations, rise in interest rate by governments to control spending and inflation, spiked oil and gas prices, high inflation, geo-political issues including U.S. & China trade war, Russia-Ukraine conflict to intensify the global economic issues.
The interest rates in the U.S. may be less sensitive in 2023 as compared to 2022; sigh of relief for businesses. Positive business sentiments, healthy business balance sheets, growth in construction spending (private construction value in 2022 stood at $1,429.2 billion, 11.7 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $1,279.5 billion spent in 2021, Residential construction in 2022 was $899.1 billion, up by 13.3 percent (±2.1 percent) from $793.7 billion in 2021, non-residential construction touched $530.1 billion, 9.1 percent (±1.0 percent) above the $485.8 billion in 2021.) showcases minimal impact of recession in the country.
Similarly, spiked spending in the European and major Asia economics including, India, China & Japan to showcase less impact on the global demand.
