Market Definition

The Iris Recognition Biometrics Market size was valued at USD 4.93 billion in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 18.63 billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 20.8% from 2024-2030. The iris recognition biometrics industry focuses on leveraging iris recognition technology for authentication and identification purposes by analyzing unique patterns in the iris, this biometric method offers a highly secure and accurate means of verifying an individual's identity. The technology works by capturing high-resolution images of the iris, which are then processed and compared against stored templates in a database. Iris recognition is widely used in various sectors, including government, law enforcement, healthcare, banking, and border control, due to its reliability and resistance to fraud or forgery. With advancements in machine learning and image processing algorithms, the iris recognition biometrics industry continues to evolve, offering improved accuracy, speed, and scalability for various applications requiring robust identity verification solutions.

Market Dynamics and Trends

The rising demand for iris recognition biometrics is due to the growing adoption of the National ID program that provides identification and authentication of citizens within the nation globally. It helps to prevent duplicate registrations for convenient purposes such as passport and voter registration. For instance, the Government of India has adopted iris-based biometric national ID cards by capturing biometric data inputs such as fingerprint and iris that serves as proof of identity and address in India.

Also, the increasing tourism coupled with threats of terrorism in countries such as China and India enable iris recognition solutions to tighten immigration control and contributes to a safer society by providing improved security and smooth personal identification is expected to further propel the growth of iris recognition biometrics market.

Moreover, growing use of iris recognition technology is high in the healthcare sector that provides a highly accurate way to authenticate an individual and provides non-contact hygienic personal identification. It also provides correct dispensing of right drug and correct treatment to the right patient across countries, which has resulted in greater utilization of iris recognition biometrics during the forecast period.

However, high cost of biometric equipment and lack of skilled professionals to use the devices are the factors that are expected to restrain the growth of market during the forecast period. On the contrary, the integration of Iris recognition biometrics with Internet of Things (IoT) devices and smart city infrastructure to enhance security, automate processes, and improve public safety, is expected to create ample growth opportunities for the market in the coming years.

Geographical Analysis

North America holds the dominating share of iris recognition biometrics market and is expected to continue its dominance during the forecast period. This is attributed to factors such as improved infrastructure and growing use of biometrics by the government for safety and security in this region.

For instance, the federal government announced growing use of iris biometrics for the collection of personal identity and authentication data by joining Iris ID. The various agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are investigating iris-based technology for uses such as identifying people crossing U.S. borders and processing passengers at airport security checkpoints.

Also, the presence of major key players such as Aware Inc., Iris ID Inc., Iritech Inc. and HID Global that has entered into strategic agreements boosts the market growth in this region. For instance, Iris ID introduced two biometric scanners designed for travel hubs at Intersec 2022, combining iris and facial recognition technologies to streamline travel processes at airports and border crossings.

On the other hand, Asia-Pacific is expected to show a steady rise in the iris recognition biometric market due to increasing adoption of iris biometric tools among governments and law enforcement agencies in this region. For instance, in March 2022, in Pakistan, the National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) opened 88 new centers to facilitate the registration of digital ID registration for citizens.

Moreover, growing population preference for touchless and hygienic biometric devices such as iris recognition to access control applications among the population across countries in this region is expected to drive the iris recognition biometric market.

For instance, Iris Scanners Technologies Pvt. Ltd. announced a distribution agreement with EyeLock LLC in India. This new partnership leveraged IrisScanners extensive distribution network in India for biometric access control solutions. This agreement allowed distribution rights for the entire Eyelock product line, including iXT and EyeLock ID that focusing on the distribution area in India.
