Market Growth Factors
The Latin America biometrics market is expected to grow at a high rate owing to increasing cybercrime and identity theft, and governments in the region are considerably considering biometric identity card systems to prevent fraud. Biometrics at border control and at airports are used to determine the nationality of travelers. In restaurants, hotels and cafes, biometrics are used to verify user registration without customary identification.
This market is being driven by the growing market for mobile device biometrics, as well as the application of multimodal biometric systems that use multiple physiological or behavioral traits to improve system performance. Government initiatives to adopt biometrics for banking, health care and public services are also driving the expansion of the biometrics market.
Technology trends such as artificial intelligence-improved biometric systems and cloud-based biometric enrollment are driving the growth of biometric authentication by providing scalable, flexible, and low-cost solutions for increasing security and improving user experience. In particular, the need for high-security remote access to medical records and treatment plans is driving adoption in healthcare.
