Lewes, DE -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/29/2016 -- Report forecast the global biometric sensors market to grow at a CAGR of 10.14% during the period 2016-2020.

A biometric sensor is a transducer, which converts the biometric input signal (fingerprints, voice, vein patterns, or facial traits) of its user into an electrical signal. In order to authenticate any biometric measurement, a biometric sensor is required to scan the user's fingerprint or voice or face in the hardware set.

The report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global biometric sensors market for 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, the report considers the total sales of biometric sensors (used in fingerprint recognition, iris recognition, facial recognition, hand geometry, voice recognition, and vein recognition) for end-user sectors such as government, transportation, healthcare, BFSI, and retail.

The market is divided into the following segments based on geography:
- APAC
- Europe
- North America
- ROW

According to the report, a major driver contributing to the growth of this market is the increasing number of identity thefts. Lately, there has been an increase in the number of identity and data theft cases, primarily because of the increase in the use of websites and web applications by end-users. The growing popularity of online consulting and sharing of health-related results online is also leading to identity theft cases. The increasing complexity of these attacks is driving end-users to implement secure authentication solutions. Hence, there is increased adoption of biometric security solutions as they are one of the most secure authentication solutions. These solutions are very reliable as they efficiently assess individuals on the basis of their physical or behavioral traits, which are very difficult to forge, making them one of the strongest authentication solutions available in the market.

Further, the report states that as alternative solutions are comparatively inexpensive and are much easier to operate, they find greater acceptance among enterprises. Small and medium-scale businesses, in particular, prefer cost-effective solutions over biometric solutions. Moreover, vendors with much larger customer bases generally provide inexpensive authentication solutions. As these vendors have been present in the authentication market for many years and have a diversified geographic presence, their solutions have a wider acceptance. Therefore, strong competition from inexpensive non-biometric technologies is a major challenge hindering the growth of the market.
