Palm Recognition Biometrics Market size was over USD 1.22 Billion in 2023 and is projected to exceed USD 15.63 Billion by the end of 2036, growing at over 21.7% CAGR during the forecast period i.e., between 2024-2036. In the year 2024, the industry size of palm recognition biometrics is evaluated at USD 1.46 Billion. The growth of the market can be attributed to the rising concern for data and asset security amongst government organizations, banks, enterprises, hospitals, telecommunication organizations, and, individuals, among others, are endorsing for greater use of advanced biometric verification systems. Hence, the rising number of banks is also expected to boost the demand for palm recognition biometrics across the globe. As of 2021, approximately 100 thousand scheduled banks were observed to be functioning in India alone.
In addition to these, the global palm recognition biometrics market trends include the increasing number of crimes worldwide, as well as the need for forensic organizations to adapt to technologies that can help them stay ahead of criminals. Additionally, the adoption of biometric technology by the FBI is further anticipated to be a major growth factor in the market. There is escalating need for accurate patient identification systems in the healthcare sector, which in turn is anticipated to promote the demand for palm recognition biometrics over the forecast period. Furthermore, the higher accuracy rate of palm recognition biometrics, and the need for touchless palm recognition biometric systems amidst the emergence of COVID-19 as a global pandemic, are some of the additional significant factors anticipated to raise the demand for palm recognition biometrics in the coming years.
Growth Drivers
Growing Prevalence Cybercrimes to Boost the Market Growth – cybercrimes are generally committed via the internet which to break palm recognition biometrics, a hacker needs physical access to it. This factor is a major restraint between a security system and a hacker. Hence, the surge in cybercrimes is projected to hike the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in 2022, around 200,000 cybercrimes took place across the globe.
Rising Cases of E-commerce Fraud – a surge in the cases of E-commerce fraud is stated to drive the market growth since biometrics are difficult to copy and use for malicious activities. Hence, the number of E-commerce fraudulent can be reduced using Recognition Biometrics. For instance, in 2022, approximately USD 40 billion were lost to online payment fraud around the world.
Increasing Biometric Payment Method – nowadays, people prefer online methods to make payments. Online payments are more convenient and safer than using real money. For instance, in the United States, around 72% of people were ready to use fingerprint authentication than PIN code in 2021 while this figure for Saudi Arabia was anticipated to be around 88%.
Growing Sales of Smartphones across the Globe – fingerprints and biometrics are highly utilized in smartphones nowadays to enhance the security of these devices. For instance, the unit sales of smartphones were projected to be around 1.5 billion in 2021 while nearly 1 billion mobile phones were shipped across the globe.

Type (Palmprint, Palm Vein Biometrics)
The global palm recognition biometrics market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by type into palmprint and palm vein biometrics. Out of these segments, the palmprint segment is estimated to gain the largest market share in the year 2036. Palmprint recognition authentication systems are based on the information that has been acquired from the palm imprints of an individual. The key advantages of using palmprint recognition are its user-friendly nature and greater flexibility. Palmprints are used in the applications such as criminal, forensic, or commercial. For instance, it was estimated that 30% of the latent prints found at crime scenes come from palms. Upon the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, these palm recognition systems observed a significantly high demand from various end-users for their contactless authentication properties The palm vein biometrics segment, on the other hand, is also projected to grow by holding the second-largest share of the segment. Palm vein recognition authentication systems measure the vein patterns and utilize infrared light to map the vein structure underneath the skin of an individual’s palm. Moreover, as palm vein biometric systems use a contactless authentication technology, hence it finds massive utilization in hospitals and other environments where hygiene is a key factor.
Component (Hardware, Software, Services)
The global palm recognition biometrics market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by component into hardware, software, and services. Amongst these three segments, the hardware segment is expected to garner a significant share in the year 2036. The common examples of hardware associated with palm recognition biometrics are readers, scanners, cameras, and others, out of which, the scanners segment was projected to cross USD 16 million in the year 2021. Hardware palm recognition equipment is good for integration, training, and maintenance. Additionally, the digital cameras segment is anticipated to reach approximately USD 1 billion in 2023.
