Global Automotive Biometric Vehicle Access System Market 2016-2020

Overview of the automotive biometric vehicle access system market

Technavio’s market research analyst predicts that the global automotive biometric vehicle access system market will grow tremendously at an impressive CAGR of more than 19% during the estimated period. The presence of numerous vulnerabilities in the existing keyless entry system is one of the critical factors driving the growth of this market over the forecast period. Car access technology evolved from using manual keys to electronic keyless entry systems as the primary causes of vehicle theft stemmed from the fact that mechanical keys were stolen or misplaced by the driver inside the vehicle. With the advent of the electronic keyless entry systems, the situation changed drastically because vehicle access was now linked to electromagnetic frequency and communication wavelengths. Although keyless entry system is perceived to be secure, certain loopholes in this technology leave the vehicles vulnerable to theft. Consequently, the demand for biometric vehicle access systems will rise significantly over the next few years.

Growing consumer demand for smart technology is expected to contribute to the growth of the global automotive biometric vehicle system market in the coming years. Smartphone-enabled applications use biometric pattern recognition and interface with cars to provide access to ignition and other valuable services. Moreover, the biometric sensors also help drivers to stay focused on the road by keeping a check on their mobile phone usage. Also, these sensors can monitor the driver's health by keeping a check on their pulse, breathing, and skin conductance. This increase in the adoption of in-vehicle biometric applications will spur the growth prospects for this market over the forecast period.

Currently, a majority of vehicles are embedded with remote or passive keyless entry systems that use radio frequency to unlock and lock vehicle doors. However, this technology comes with limitations in the form of driver identification, making this system prone to vehicle theft. A biometric system overcomes this limitation as it can identify the rightful owner of the vehicle by matching the physical parameters. The application of biometric technology in automotive include vehicle access, ignition permission, anti-theft systems, and on-board communication program.
