Next Generation Biometric Technologies Market Global Forecast & Analysis (2012-2017)

Biometric technology is an advanced technique for the identification of humans, based on their characteristics or traits. These traits can be face, fingerprint, iris, voice, signature, palm, vein, and DNA. The existing methods of human identification such as identification documents and PIN are not able to cope up with the growing demand for stringent security, which gives a high growth opportunity for the use of biometric technology. This technology is very popular also because biometric characters like face, fingerprint, hand, etc. cannot be lost, stolen, or easily forged.

This report covers various biometric authentications such as face recognition, fingerprint recognition, iris recognition, palm recognition, vein recognition, signature recognition, and DNA recognition. Out of all the biometric authentications, face recognition, finger recognition, and iris recognition are commonly used in most of the applications. Iris has a significant scope in near future due to its high accuracy rate and low false acceptance rate; which is between 0.0001% and 0.94%.
