Market Dynamics
Introduction
Contactless biometrics technology is an innovative method of identifying and authenticating individuals without physical contact. It relies on the use of unique biological or behavioural traits, such as fingerprints, facial recognition, iris scans, or voice patterns, to verify a person's identity. Unlike traditional biometric systems that require direct contact with a sensor, contactless biometrics can perform these identity checks from a distance.
Market Drivers
The following are the drivers of the contactless biometrics technology market:
- The advantages of contactless biometrics technology in terms of ease, hygienic practices, and security have made it increasingly popular.
- Smartphones use contactless biometrics to unlock the device and approve transactions, such as fingerprint scanning or face recognition.
- Contactless biometrics provide a more effective and safe means of identity verification in a society where minimizing physical touch is a major concern.
- Mobile devices, payment methods, and access control systems all often utilize it.
- Healthy growth possibilities are expected to arise soon due to the growing safety concerns surrounding health and hygiene considering the COVID-19 epidemic, as well as the rising need for a high degree of security in commercial, public, and private sector enterprises.
