The World Market for Biometrics Equipment

SUMMARY

"Increasing global concerns about terrorist activity and identity have boosted the demand for improved security. Increased media attention has raised end users' awareness of the potential of biometric technologies in security applications. Significant market opportunities are thus emerging in application areas such as physical access control, citizen identity, network security, financial services, entitlement and healthcare".

"The worldwide market for biometrics hardware was $133.4 million in 2002. The market is forecast to grow dramatically. By 2010, the market is forecast to reach $1.78 billion. Fingerprint recognition biometrics is expected to remain the largest type of biometric during the forecast period. However the proportional importance of this technology will decline as other biometric technologies become more established".

IMS Research has concluded a six-month investigation into the potential markets for biometrics equipment and the differing levels of uptake across the various sectors. This included face-to-face and telephone interviews with biometric vendors, biometric software companies, system integrators and trade bodies.

This report includes numerous statistical analyses of the market. This includes:

• Forecasts by biometric technology, end user sector and geographic region to 2010.
• Case studies of actual biometric technologies in operation.
• Market share estimates for suppliers of all major biometric technologies.
• An analysis of the competitive environment and the capabilities of the major players.
