Global biometrics market to reach $16.7 billion by 2019, new study reveals

The worldwide rise in the threat of terror will lead to a significant growth in the biometric systems' segment, as they become a more compelling tool in the hands of the authorities, a new market study by WinterGreen Research has recently revealed.

The report reveals that the global biometrics market is set to grow from $5.2 billion in 2012 up to a staggering $16.7 billion by 2019, driven by the increased demand for protection of individual information and for the needs of organization to control access to documents and to areas.

Furthermore, this fresh research paper also indicates that the growth of biometric technologies is directly related to global security threats. Terrorist attacks, airport security initiatives, and attempts to lower crime rates have brought an increasing investment in biometric security systems.

Government projects include ePassports, eDriving licenses, border management, and national IDs. These initiatives have been implemented in developed countries.

As the UK market leader in the field of access control and time and attendance solutions, Tensor supplies an extensive range of products that actively employ biometric authentication, including fingerprint readers, hand scanner terminals and eye recognition solutions.
