Biometrics Scan Software in the US - Industry Research Report

Lending a hand: increasing border security will drive industry revenue growth

The Biometrics Scan Software industry comprises companies that develop software for biometric technologies such as fingerprint-, iris-, retina- and face-identification systems. The industry has recorded prolific expansion over the past five years as its reliance on government agencies, such as the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and other defense agencies, has boosted revenue and visibility. Despite growth, biometrics still need help with relatively untenable false positive rates. Despite this concern, the industry has grown by offering greater cyber security, combining passwords and keycards with biometrics, still providing more security than other technologies can offer by themselves.

Companies in this industry develop software for biometric technologies specifically related to automated fingerprint identification systems (AFIS), non-AFIS finger scanners, hand geometry readers, iris and retinal scanners and facial recognition systems.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
