Facial Recognition Market Overview:

Facial recognition market is expected to garner $9.6 billion by 2022, registering a CAGR of 21.3% during the forecast period 2016-2022. Facial recognition is a biometric technology used for authentication and identification of individuals by comparing the facial features from an image with the stored facial database. It is expected to witness robust growth during the forecast period owing to its increasing usage in both law enforcement and non-law enforcement applications. Moreover, facial recognition is widely preferred over other biometric technologies, such as voice recognition, skin texture recognition, iris recognition, and fingerprint scanning, due to its non-contact process and easy deployment (using cameras and existing monitoring devices). Currently, this technology is majorly used for security and marketing purpose. For instance, billboards have been designed with integrated software that are used to identify gender, age, and ethnicity to deliver targeted advertising.

World Facial Recognition Market Scenario

The facial recognition market holds a substantial scope for growth on the global horizon. The market, which is in its growth stage however, is expected to contribute significantly to the global market within the next 10 years. Facial recognition provides high-level security for public and private sectors. The significant increase in terrorist attacks on government organizations in recent years majorly drives the companies and governments to implement facial recognition biometric. Furthermore, increasing application in physical security and intelligent signage and technology advancements, such as cloud-based services and 3D-based recognition systems, increased the usage of facial recognition. However, increasing sensitivity toward shared personal data, lack of accuracy, and high implementation cost hinder the expansion of the market in certain regions. Technically advanced facial recognition systems with application in mobile security and drones are likely to create greater opportunities in the future.

Covid -19 Impact on Facial Recognition Market:

Due to the rise in concern for hygiene most of the companies are switching toward facial recognition systems as a sanitary alternative to curb the spread of novel coronavirus.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI), on the other hand, is offering an effective solution by combining both facial recognition technology along with temperature detection. In addition, with AI and infrared thermography, facial recognition systems are performing mask detections as well.

The demand for facial recognition systems has been increased in both the government and private sectors.

Top Impacting Factors:

Rising demand for surveillance systems for enhancing safety and security

The major driving factor of the market was the increasing demand for advanced security & surveillance systems in civil and government agencies to enhance safety and security. The number of data breach cases has increased exponentially from 400 to 600 breaches during the period of 2011 - 2015, owing to increasing generation of digital content and lack of data security laws. Burgeoning data breach cases and brute force attacks have increased the demand for advanced surveillance systems, which in turn has increased the demand for facial recognition solutions.

Increasing application in physical security and intelligent signage

The significant increase in incidence of terrorist attacks on government organizations and the commercial sector in the recent years drives the companies and governments to implement robust physical security strategies. Moreover, this technology is expected to witness high adoption in intelligent signage application on account of rising concerns of security and use of marketing strategies to analyze the customers based on their age, gender, and other facial attributes. Over a period, physical security and intelligent signage are expected to fuel the demand of facial recognition technology.

Technology advancements such as cloud-based services and 3D-based recognition systems

Technological advancements are likely to reduce the prices of facial recognition systems in the future. Software development kit (SDK) has improved the accuracy in terms of recognizing facial features. Therefore, the improved quality of products enhances awareness amongst users, which in turn is expected to increase adoption of facial recognition biometrics in the future.

Lack of accuracy and high implementation cost of facial recognition technology

Currently, high implementation cost and low accuracy negatively affect the growth of the market. Costs such as maintenance and middleware costs also contribute to the implementation cost. However, few manufacturers, such as FaceFirst, Inc., have started using efficient algorithms, such as PCA, FFT, to improve accuracy and reduce the cost of facial recognition technology. Therefore, with the development in technology, lack of accuracy and high implementation cost of facial recognition technology are likely to reduce their impact during the forecast period.

Increasing application in mobile security and drones

Increasing demand of facial recognition in smart devices, such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, and personal digital assistants, which are used for both personal and business purpose, presents various growth opportunities for the facial recognition market. Moreover, burgeoning number of drones in various commercial sectors, such as media & entertainment, inspection, and surveying, contribute to the demand of facial recognition. For instance, as per the Federation Aviation Administrator (FAA), around 30,000 drones are expected to be introduced by 2020. Therefore, these factors are expected to provide immense opportunity for the growth of facial recognition technology.
