Iris Recognition Biometrics Market

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.
