Dublin, Aug. 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Next Generation Biometrics Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2023-2028)" report has been added to * ResearchAndMarkets.com's* offering.

The global Next-Generation Biometrics Market is expected to experience a remarkable growth rate of 35.5% during the forecast period.

One of the key trends driving this growth is a paradigm shift in business discourse towards enhanced privacy and reduced security threats. End-users are increasingly seeking integrated solutions, moving away from conventional methods.

*Key Highlights*

The Next-Generation Biometric Market is poised for significant growth, primarily due to the rising number of terrorist activities and increasing theft of crucial data, raising concerns regarding national security. Chile, for example, is implementing an automatic biometric identification system (ABIS) to combat organized crime by instantly identifying recognized criminals, illegal migrants, and the deceased who lack any identity. Identity fraud across the globe is a restraining factor for market growth.

Sophisticated fraud tactics, including the use of realistic 2D/3D masks and display attacks, have increased identity fraud by 43% YoY, as reported by Onfido. The industry benefits from the increasing adoption of electronic cards and biometric passports. Costa Rica, for instance, is launching its biometric passport with advanced security technology to reject fraudulent attempts, complying with international standards set forth by the International Civil Aviation Organization. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the demand for touchless biometrics solutions, especially in the healthcare sector, and has brought about a trend towards contactless biometric technologies such as face, gait, and speech recognition for accurate identification.
