The Future of Biometrics
Mainstream, Ubiquitous Biometric Authentication by 2020
Over the next 10 to 15 years the infrastructure to enable mainstream,
ubiquitous biometric authentication will be developed. By 2020, Biometrics
will be a key enabler of trusted transaction control for data access
and flow for consumer, commercial, and government applications.
"The Future of Biometrics" presents Acuity's trademark brand of concise,
strategic, hype-free insight into the trends, drivers, and opportunities
that will shape the biometrics industry through 2020 and provides detailed
market forecasts through 2015.
"Acuity's strategic insight and analysis has consistently enabled clients to
position themselves well ahead of emerging market trends", says Principal C.
Maxine Most. "This has provided significant competitive advantage and enabled
them to target resources increasing opportunities for success. For the first time
"The Future of Biometrics" delivers this level of strategic advantage
to the industry at large."
Key Forecasts:
- Commercial deployment revenues will begin to supersede Public Sector revenues in 2012 and will represent more than 52% of the total global market for biometrics core technology by 2015.
- Overall market dominance will shift from Europe (and the greater EMEA region) and the US (and the greater North America region) to Asia (and the greater Asia Pacific region). By 2014, the Asia Pacific Region will generate the greatest revenues for the biometrics industry.
- Transactions will ultimately provide the majority of industry revenue. Information and financial transactions for Commercial applications by 2012 and eGoverment for Public Sector applications by 2015.
Key Analysis Findings:
- A confluence of factors including the emerging central role of the Digital Identity in IT, population mobility and workforce decentralization, demand for eGovernment services, near ubiquitous reliance on digital transactions, and the inevitability of broadband access everywhere will require a level of authentication available only through the use of biometrics.
- The entry of sophisticated, well funded market players with technology expertise in high resolution image capture, large scale data management and high speed processing, and pattern recognition and matching algorithms from varied fields such as robotics, astronomy, and intelligent video elevate technological capability and provide the requisite knowledge for the industry to experience sustained growth.
- Contactless, user acquiring biometrics will become a preferred method of authentication for two primary reasons. Capture technology will become increasingly more sophisticated operating accurately regardless of environmental conditions. Biometric authentication that does not require the user to “do anything” e.g. position themselves in relation to or have physical contact with a reader, will be prove safer (no transmission of germs) and more convenient for users.
- Secure transaction capability will ultimately define the genuine opportunity for large scale, wide spread deployment of biometric technologies. The technology itself will, in many respects, become inconsequential as the applications it delvers become essential components of 21st century life.

Part One: Analysis
The first half of the report addresses fundamental questions that
provide the context for developing a comprehensive view of the
likely evolution of the biometrics marketplace.
- What are the Mega and Meta forces shaping the evolution of the market?
- Which industries and applications hold the most promise for biometric deployment?
- How will market demand shape technology evolution and the development of biometrically enabled solutions?
- How will the technology evolve and impact overall market development?
- How will the most substantial opportunities for industry players evolve?
Part Two: Segmentation & Forecasts
The second half of the report includes market segmentation and
forecasts through 2015.
The two key Application Solution domains and their associated subsectors
- Public Sector (eBorders, eID, and eGovernment) and Commercial
(Enterprise Security, Information Transactions, Financial Transactions)
- are mapped against four key application areas - Physical Access,
Logical Access, Identity Confirmation and Surveillance - to create
comprehensive market segmentation matrices. The resulting target
markets are ranked in terms of development priority and timeframe.
Each target market is also assessed in terms of the technologies
(biometrics modalities) most likely to be deployed. Forecasts for the
Commercial and Public Sector Application Solution domains, their
subsectors, and select target markets are presented globally and by
region.
