Global Automated Fingerprint Identification System Market 2016-2020

Published: Mar 2016 Pages: 53 SKU: IRTNTR9102

Outlook for the global automated fingerprint identification system (AFIS) market

AFIS or automated fingerprint identification system is a method in which fingerprints from individuals are stored as digital images in a database. Each fingerprint has features like arches, loops, and whorls that are unique to an individual. The current version of AFIS has been in use only for a few years and has revolutionized the way matches are made. AFIS is best known for use by law enforcement agencies to compare prints and apprehend criminals. These days, a slightly different version of AFIS is used by companies to let employees gain access to their workplace. Technavio’s market research analyst predicts the global AFIS market to grow at a steady CAGR of over 12% during the forecast period.

AFIS related technology is evolving daily thanks to mobile devices and their extensive use in different sectors. Fingerprints can be used not only to authenticate a person’s identity but also to ensure that they have the permission to use equipment or gain access to an office. For instance, 3M offers scalable packages that can be customized to meet any needs, whether it is for companies or government organizations. AFIS is used in situations when access to sensitive information has to be restricted.

Geographical segmentation and analysis of the AFIS market 

  • Americas
  • APAC
  • EMEA

In this market study, analysts have estimated the Americas to be the largest market for AFIS during the forecast period. The US will be the biggest market for AFIS technology in this region as AFIS is extensively used by law enforcement agencies here to apprehend criminals. The AFIS technology is also used to monitor visitor traffic at airports located in and around the Americas. Advances in programming and related technologies are anticipated to bring changes like iris scanning, which in turn will help to make the system foolproof. Revenues for the Americas will surpass USD 2 billion by 2020.             

Application-based segmentation and analysis of the AFIS market

  • Criminal
  • Civil

According to Technavio’s market research report, the civil application segment will be the largest market segment for AFIS technology during the forecast period. The extensive use of AFIS technology for commercial applications in the financial sector, point-of-sale systems, and ATMs will result in this market segment’s high growth over the next few years. Though the adoption of criminal AFIS will increase significantly during the forecast period, the civil AFIS segment will dominate this market by accounting for almost 56% of the total market share by 2020.
