Contactless biometric devices analyze the biological data of the user by capturing the biometric data inputs such as facial, voice, and iris recognition and use them as a future reference for user’s identification and to maintain all the records. The global contactless biometrics market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 20.0% during the forecast period (2021-2027). The major aspect that drives the growth of the market includes the increasing demand for a high level of security in private, commercial, and public establishments across the globe. Demand for facial and voice recognition software in security and surveillance applications has been increasing substantially in the recent past due to increasing terrorist activities. Further, contactless biometrics is also used across various healthcare facilities, airports, and others by security authorities for identification purposes.

Further, the outbreak of COVID-19 had also positively influenced the growth of the market during the forecast period. Increasing guidelines for social distancing, public safety monitoring, patient screening, are some of the factors that encourage the need for a contactless biometrics market during the forecast period.

Segmental Outlook

The global contactless biometrics market is segmented on the basis of component, application, and end-use. Based on the component, the market is segmented as hardware, software, and services. Based on the application, the market is segmented as the face, iris, voice & speech, and others. Based on the end-use, the market is segmented as BFSI, IT & telecommunication, healthcare, retail, government & utilities, and others.

Contactless Biometrics for Healthcare Segment to Hold a Substantial Share in Market

Amongst the end-use segment of the global contactless biometrics, the healthcare segment is projected to hold the most lucrative share in the market. Contactless biometrics for healthcare allow increased patient’s and employee’s safety by detecting fraud and restricting access to the information regarding the patient. Contactless biometrics for healthcare include many features which include image storage, facial recognition, palm scans which are scalable, flexible, and highly secure. It also eliminates the possibility of individuals attempting to pose as other patients for access to various treatments and medications so that the right individuals can receive the proper care and treatment. Moreover, contactless biometrics for healthcare acts as an alternative to passwords and for reducing the incidences of healthcare frauds. Contactless biometrics for healthcare also eliminate the risk of transferring any infection as it is contactless and touch-free. Such factors contribute to the segmental growth of the market over the forecast period.
