The healthcare biometrics market is projected to reach USD 2,848.3 million by 2021 from USD 1,182.6 million by 2016, at a CAGR of 19.2% during the forecast period. The growth of this market is majorly driven by government initiatives to support the implementation of biometrics in healthcare facilities and increasing healthcare fraud & medical identity theft.

North America commanded the largest share of the global healthcare biometrics market in 2015 and is expected to grow at the highest CAGR of 20.2% during the forecast period.

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) was passed as a federal law in the U.S. to safeguard the confidentiality of Electronic Protected Health Information (EPHI) of patients. Under this law, covered entities such as healthcare clearing houses, health plans, and healthcare providers, who transmit EPHI as a part of their business, are obligated to employ reasonable and appropriate levels of security to control access to EPHI. Additionally, healthcare organizations that violate any HIPAA regulations face significant financial penalties. This changing regulatory scenario in the North American region has resulted in an upsurge in the demand for efficient security measures in order to comply with these norms.
