Increasing instances of identity threats are the key factor driving the global market growth. Identity and data theft incidents are on the rise as end users become more reliant on websites and web applications. The growing popularity of online games and social networking sites has also contributed to an increase in identity theft incidents. Additionally, the increasing sophistication of these attacks is driving end users to implement secure authentication solutions.
Therefore, the acceptance of biometric security solutions is increasing. Biometric solutions are one of the most secure authentication solutions because of their capability to incorporate the physical and behavioral features of the end-users, which are difficult to forge. Hence, it is among the strongest growing authentication solutions currently. Such factors will increase the market growth and trends during the forecast period.
Facial recognition using photos on social networking sites is the primary trend in the global market growth. Facebook is the most popular social network for uploading personal information and photos. The ability for users to tag their photos has opened up new ways to identify people. These photos are stored in a database that is stored under the tagged name. Various algorithms can be used to search the data and facial recognition can identify people.
Uploading photos at different angles makes the identification more accurate. Such photo-based identification techniques have higher accuracy than traditional face recognition methods. Therefore, photo-based identification will be integrated with advanced 3D face recognition to enhance the security features of face recognition biometrics in the future.
The high cost of deployment is a major challenge to the global market growth. One of the biggest challenges limiting the use of systems is the high cost of deployment. Large-scale deployment systems in government agencies and airports is a time-consuming process and typically result in long sales cycles. Also, the cost of deployment will depend on the user's needs. Budget constraints limit the testing of face recognition solutions.
Hence, a failure in the successful implementation can result in a high loss for these departments. Apart from the actual cost of the solution, there are other hidden costs, such as maintenance costs, middleware costs, and other associated costs. All these factors contribute to the high cost of deployment of these systems, posing a major challenge to the market.
