Regulatory compliance associated with biometric technology is the major challenge for the growth of the market. Biometric data is subject to laws and regulations such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other privacy regulations. vary with these regulations can be a challenge for businesses and organizations. Major vendors like 3M Cogent, BIO-key International, Fujitsu, HID Global, etc., must follow various stringent regulations and standards while manufacturing, supplying, and marketing biometric solutions. Compliance with industry and government security standards is necessary to ensure the integrity of biometric solutions and protect the privacy of consumers using such solutions.
Furthermore, some government agencies, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), mandate certain standards that biometrics solutions must obey. Such as Personal Identity Verification (PIV) standards, such as PIV-071006, are lower-level standards designed to support one-to-one fingerprint verification. Appendix F has stringent /image quality conditions, focusing on human fingerprint comparison and facilitating large-scale machine many-to-many matching operations. Due to failure of obey applicable regulatory requirements can results in the revocation of licenses. Hence, regulatory compliance and standards are hindering the growth of the global biometrics market during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the government segment will be significant during the forecast period. This segment is the largest user of biometric technology. Governments around the globe use biometric technology for various purposes. Governments across the globe are committed to rising spending on security measures and are placing greater funding on technology to address the rising security concerns. This helped to increase the demand for biometrics technology among local, state, and national governments.

The government segment showed a gradual increase in the market share of USD 10,965.10 million in 2017 and continued to grow by 2021. Various government initiatives, such as the introduction of e-passports and e-visas, the implementation of election administration, and the use of biometrics in criminal identification (ID) are government initiatives that require biometric technologies for the verification of their identity. Besides, governments of some countries are planning for biometric digital ID cards. Governments across the globe are implementing biometrics to track the information of their citizens, which is one of the prime factors driving the growth of biometrics. Because of these government initiatives, the segment is expected to drive the growth of the global biometrics market during the forecast period.
In healthcare biometric technology is used for various purposes, such as patient identification, access control, and monitoring. Hospitals and healthcare vendors like Cedars, Mercy Health, Northwell Health, Mayo Clinic, Adventist Health, etc., use biometric technology to ensure patient safety. For application in hospitals, clinics, and doctor's offices and for monitoring patients, the healthcare industry is adopting biometrics technology. Data security has always been a concern in the healthcare sector. rising concerns about healthcare data security and privacy are helping to grow the demand for biometrics. With the growing cyber threats to healthcare organizations, many such organizations have implemented the multi-factor authentication (MFA) process to enhance security. Hence, these factors are expected to drive the growth of the healthcare industry segment of the global biometrics market during the forecast period.
Hardware is a critical component in the biometrics market, and market segmentation by hardware segment is an important factor that shows the rapid growth of the market. Biometric scanners are mainly used to capture fingerprints, iris patterns, facial features, and voice prints. Fingerprint scanners are the most used biometric scanners, followed by facial recognition scanners. The global biometrics market is expected to grow rapidly due to the rising adoption of biometric authentication across various industries.
Furthermore, cameras are another key component in the biometric market. Cameras capture /images or videos of a person's face, eyes, or other body parts for authentication purposes.
