Biometrics is the technical term that measures human characteristics with the help of facial, iris, fingerprint, and other types of authentication methods. The growing security concerns and rising cyber-attacks are the crucial factors driving the demand for enhanced security solutions and services. Also, features such as, easy to use, permanent, easy to measure, and improved information security systems are boosting the demand for biometrics as a service solution. The global biometrics-as-a-service market size is expected to reach over USD 3,000 million by 2025. This can be attributed to the growing number of cyber-attacks and the increasing complex IoT landscape globally.
However, privacy concerns and security issues about the data stored on the cloud are expected to hinder the market growth. Furthermore, the growing adoption of cloud-based biometrics among SMEs is anticipated to provide growth opportunities for the market. Also, the integration of advance technologies such as AI and ML in the biometrics-as-a-service solutions is anticipated to be opportunistic for the industry during the forecast period.
