Military Biometrics Market Dynamics
Military biometric systems have risen to strengthen border security

Border security is a very crucial part of any nation's security. With a drastic increase in the number of illegal migrants, the threat to countries' security has increased. Hence the demand for military biometric systems has risen to reinforce and strengthen border security. The increase in the number of illegal migration impacts the economy's growth. The people residing illegally are not liable to pay taxes to the government, which leads to a decrease in the economy. This is one of the major concerns for restricting illegal migrations. In addition, biometric systems are being increasingly adopted in multinational and private companies across the globe.

Furthermore, another issue linked with illegal migration is the fear of terrorism. The use of biometric authentication helps in identifying individuals entering the country. Hence the demand for biometrics in defense applications is expected to grow significantly during the forecast period. Concerns regarding security breaches result in increasing adoption of these systems, especially in countries such as the U.K. and the U.S. currently.

Rising Need for Authentication to Drive Military Biometrics Market

The increasing demand for combating terrorism has propelled various nations to adopt the latest and most advanced form of biometrics for use in military applications are major factors expected to drive the growth of the military biometrics market during the forecast period. It has become critical to embrace military biometrics, with developing requirements for tending to penetration and comparative security issues. The developing number of countries battling with personality burglaries, manufactured characters, and unlawful settlements will push an elevated interest in military biometrics. An ever-increasing number of air terminals and lines across nations are utilizing biometrics confirmation frameworks to diminish illegal intimidation and fear assaults.

Biometric authentication systems in offices and public areas

Growing Asia Pacific economies like China and India have witnessed a quick upsurge in the adoption and implementation of biometric authentication systems. These systems function as attendance portals and enable employers to monitor the movement of their employees within the office premises at all times. Biometric fingerprint recognition, face recognition, and iris recognition systems are a few systems that have been gaining popularity.

Protecting biometric data from cyber-attack may hamper the market growth

Protecting biometric data from cyber-attack is a significant challenge expected to hamper market growth. Despite this rising focus on strengthening the nation's security, the government is allocating a large budget for the procurement and development of advanced solutions estimated to create ample growth opportunities in the market. Installation of biometric authentication systems is complex and requires skilled personnel to install. There is also the possibility of a system breach leading to data or information loss which can cause severe threats to any company or user. In addition, it is not easy to reset the entire system installation. These are some of the notable factors hampering the demand for biometric systems in the military and defense sector due to the need for a high level of security to safeguard against breaches of highly confidential data.
Military Biometrics Market Segment Analysis
Fingerprint Recognition Systems to witness strong demand

On basis of Technology, the market is segmented into Facial Recognition, Fingerprint Recognition and Iris Recognition. The fingerprint recognition segment is estimated to dominate the military biometrics market during the forecast period. The fingerprint recognition is commonly used authentication system in most of the defense agencies and military around the world. Fingerprint Recognition can be implemented in computers, devices, and websites with the presence of a scanner. Fingerprints are highly stable, permanent, and non-reversible traits of human beings that do not change over time unlike other human body parts such as the face & iris which can be changed by plastic surgery or accidents.

Iris recognition act like fingerprint templates but they do not change over time unlike other body parts such as facial features which can be changed through plastic surgery or accidents. Iris recognition system have slighter possibilities of malfunction or error. Thus, the accuracy rate up to 99% is expected to drive the demand of iris recognition systems strongly through forecast period.

Furthermore, facial recognition is also expected to see steady growth due to their wide use in border security and surveillance, and in security and defense agencies like army and police. The system compares this information against already stored templates (images) in the database to detect duplications and verify identities with a high accuracy rate (98%). The advantages of facial recognition systems include monitoring and tracking suspected terrorists or other criminal elements using networked cameras located in any part of a city or country.

On basis of Component, the market is segmented into Hardware and Software.

Based on Component, the military biometrics market is segmented into hardware and software. By hardware, the market is sub-divided into fingerprint readers & scanners, mobile biometric devices, cameras, and others.
