Facial Recognition is a biometric application which captures picture and uses it to recognize people by applying facial investigation and contrasting it with the current database. Facial recognition systems are regularly used for security purposes, particularly in the surveillance sector but as of late the usage of facial recognition in different applications has advanced. The facial recognition market is driven by the expanding criminal activities globally. Attributable to these factors the Facial Recognition market is anticipated to reach approximately USD 8.96 billion by 2023 from USD 2.78 billion in 2014, while registering itself at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.87% during the forecast period.
Technology Outlook and Trend Analysis
With advancements in technology, facial recognition systems are currently being composed and delivered extensively. Rising criminal activities such as theft, terrorist attacks and data breaches have brought about rising requirement for secure confirmation solutions. The expanding requirement for upgraded surveillance and observing at public spots and the expanding usage of facial recognition technologies in enterprises, for example, the government is a major growth factor for this market. As the government offices possess sensitive data, it is imperative to install potent surveillance systems to avoid data breaches and attacks. Moreover, several benefits offered by facial recognition systems, such as, being a non-contact recognition systems makes it preferable over other recognition frameworks like fingerprint scanning, voice recognition or iris recognition systems. Nonetheless, high cost of implementation and low accuracy negatively affect the development of the market.
