Automated Fingerprint Identification System Market Insights

The global automated fingerprint identification system market will reach USD 8.5 Billion in 2020 and is projected to surpass USD 33.4 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 23.8% from 2021 to 2026. Biometrics, which pertains to personal physiological or behavioral features used for validation, has become more popular in recent years. Encryption approaches based on observed biological and personal features that can be automatically checked are referred to as biometrics. Automatic fingerprint recognition technology has quickly progressed from forensics to general applications. Fingerprint-based biometric systems became so ubiquitous that they have nearly become a synonym for biometric systems. The microprocessor, which is at the heart of AFIS technology, and related software is updated on a near-daily basis. The software that runs AFIS devices, in particular, is always improving as companies create faster, more accurate programs.

Other databases, including other AFIS systems, may be linked to AFIS systems, although some AFIS systems operate independently and therefore do not interface with other entities. The number of AFIS nodes linked will grow as more entities collaborate.

AFIS is a remedy to the time-consuming and labour-intensive task of categorizing, analyzing, and comparing fingerprints for authentication. Government agencies typically employ AFIS for criminal identification. Locating a person accused of committing a crime or connecting a suspect to certain other wrongful convictions are two among the most crucial. It also describes the deceased of ecological and man-made disasters. The market is expected to grow as the desire for unified AFIS solutions rises and digital payment alternatives become more widely accepted all around the globe. Furthermore, increased security risks, the need for seamless integration, and an increase in online transactions are projected to drive market expansion.

Over the projected period, nevertheless, the accessibility of replacement identifying techniques such as facial, vocal, and retinal verification is expected to hinder the growth of the automated fingerprint identification system market. Issues such as the difficulty to collect and analyze fingerprint patterns due to distorted fingerprint patterns are also predicted to limit expansion to some extent.

Automated Fingerprint Identification System Market: By Component

The component segment is categorized into three divisions i.e. software, hardware, and services. Fingerprint input modules, microprocessors/microcontrollers, screens, and other hardware have been separated further. Optical sensors, capacitive sensors, ultrasonic sensors, and thermal sensors are the different types of sensors. Matchers and network fingerprints have been incorporated into the software. Pattern match and miniature-based match are two subtypes of matches.

In the approaching years, the software segment is projected to dominate the market. The upsurge for unified AFIS products for individual or criminal identification can be ascribed to this. Additionally, providers of automated fingerprint identification systems are concentrating on building high-performance, standard-compliant systems with full modularity, allowing users to quickly obtain a solution adapted to their business operations.

Automated Fingerprint Identification System Market: By Search Type

Ten-print searches (i.e., criminal identification) and latent searches (i.e., criminal investigation) are the two kinds of Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems. Each subsystem has a significant degree of autonomy, and they are both critical to public safety.

The ten-print subsystem is responsible for recognizing sets of linked fingerprints as part of an indictment, summons, or application procedures to see whether a person seems to have a felony conviction. Identification workers are also responsible for protecting the integrity of biometric and previous convictions databases on many platforms. Fingerprint technologists and accompanying administrative professionals make up the majority of the staff at an identification agency. An automatic ten-print search usually necessitates a minute search using only the thumbs and index fingers.

The latent print or criminal identification subsystem is in charge of stopping crime by identifying latent prints left behind by criminals at the scene of the crime and in forensic evidence. Singular latent prints are captured and digitally enhanced using the terminal in the latent subsystem that is frequently specialized. Latent print examiners, forensic scientists, research centers, or general administrative personnel may work in the latent subsystem. The quality of the image in latent prints is frequently weak and fragmented.

Owing to its use in immigration, customs checks, politics, enforcement agencies, and government publications, the ten-print searches category has the major market share.

Automated Fingerprint Identification System Market: By Application

The Automated Fingerprint Identification System Market includes application domains such as administration, medical, logistics, tourism, and finance and banking.

During the projected period, the AFIS market for hospitality and government sectors is expected to go up substantially. Due to the obvious rising demand of AFIS to provide a unique identifier for an individual, which helps reduce concerns such as identity theft and fake identity, the government segment held the largest market. The consumer electronics market is likely to stimulate demand for sophisticated security and detection techniques in smartphones and tablets.

Over the projected timeframe, the financial and banking segment is estimated to grow remarkably by utilizing advanced software identification systems in ATMs and kiosks, distributors in the banking and financial market are paving the way for incremental possibilities in the access to eradicating the need for cards or PINs. End users are increasingly benefiting from this trend, as the software integrates with mobile banking apps, guaranteeing secure user identity.

Automated Fingerprint Identification System Market: By Region

North America has the maximum deployment of Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) in diversified business areas. Linked to premature adoption of the technology this growth is likely to continue over the forthcoming years. Furthermore, citizens in the United States are becoming much more cognizant of their rights to privacy and the suitable utilization of surveillance systems. The sheer volume of bio-metric vendors is also a major consideration.

Over the forecast period, the Asia Pacific AFIS industry is poised to increase significantly. The upsurge in government schemes to generate personal income tax IDs, separate identity numbers, and e-passports, among many other things, premised on biometric information such as a thumbprint, feature extraction, and iris recognition can be credited to this growth. Moreover, to tighten security, government agencies are trying to focus on the rollout of fingerprint solutions at airports and for border protection. As an outcome, over the next few years, implementation is likely to boost.

Automated Fingerprint Identification System Market Share and Competitor Analysis

The market is stifled in its expansion because the devices are incompatible. The market's ability to pick up has been hampered by data sharing and algorithmic performance. To ensure the AFIS market's continued growth, several technological interoperability concerns must be addressed.

Suprema Incorporation, Sonda Technologies Ltd., Papillon Systems, HID Global Corporation, AFIX Technologies Inc., East Shore Technologies, M2SYS Technology, Crossmatch Technologies Ltd., Morpho SA, 3M Cogent Inc., Dermalog Identification Systems GmbH, and NEC Corporation are among the prominent companies in the market. To fulfil the needs of the target market, these companies used a range of methodologies, spanning product innovation, alliances, affiliations, and acquisitions.
