The automated fingerprint identification system market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $11.55 billion in 2023 to $13.97 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.9%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to several factors, including the rise in crime rates, heightened demand for enhanced identity verification methods, increased emphasis on security measures, rapid urbanization, population growth, and overall economic expansion.

The automated fingerprint identification system market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $30.02 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.1%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several key factors, including escalating security concerns worldwide, the expanding adoption of automated fingerprint identification systems (AFIS) in civil applications, increased uptake in emerging economies, and growing demand within the e-commerce and retail sectors. Major trends expected in the forecast period encompass the emergence of mobile AFIS solutions, the transition towards cloud-based AFIS platforms, integration with edge computing technologies, leveraging blockchain for secure management of fingerprint data, and the integration of AFIS with Internet of Things (IoT) systems for smart access control solutions.

The anticipated surge in identity theft and fraud incidents is poised to drive the growth trajectory of the automated fingerprint identification system (AFIS) market in the foreseeable future. Identity theft and fraud represent criminal activities wherein an individual's personal data, encompassing crucial details such as name, social security number, or financial account information, is illicitly acquired and exploited for fraudulent purposes. The escalation in such illicit activities is attributed to the widespread adoption of digital technologies and online platforms, coupled with the proliferation of dark web marketplaces, lax security protocols, and insufficient cybersecurity measures. Automated fingerprint identification systems play a pivotal role in combating identity theft and fraud by furnishing secure biometric authentication methodologies, thereby fortifying defenses against unauthorized access and fraudulent endeavors. For example, Experian, an Ireland-based information services company, reported a 3.3% rise in consumer identity theft complaints in the U.S., totaling just over 1.43 million in 2022, up from approximately 1.39 million in 2020, underscoring the driving force behind the automated fingerprint identification system market's growth.

Prominent players in the automated fingerprint identification systems market are strategically focused on innovating technologies such as NADIR to bolster their market positioning. NADIR represents an automatic fingerprint identification technology renowned for its widespread application across diverse sectors such as law enforcement, border control, access management, attendance tracking, and financial transactions, owing to the unparalleled accuracy and reliability of fingerprint biometrics for personal identification purposes. For instance, in April 2023, the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA), a government agency based in Pakistan, unveiled NADIR, an automatic fingerprint identification technology (AFIS). NADRA's introduction of AFIS technology signifies a pioneering milestone in civil identification and nation-building endeavors, showcasing Pakistan's capability to offer cutting-edge solutions in the global market for bolstering civil identification, border security, and e-governance initiatives. Leveraging the distinct characteristics of fingerprints, NADIR establishes a robust and dependable identity verification mechanism, thereby augmenting security protocols across diverse applications ranging from immigration to border control to social welfare services.
