Oct 14, 2020 | Chris Burt Biometrics Update

The global biometrics market is forecast to reach $82.8 billion by 2027, growing at a 19.3 percent CAGR from an estimated $24.1 billion in 2020, according to a report from Global Industry Analysts.

The 176-page ‘Biometrics – Global Market Trajectory & Analytics’ report says non-AFIS systems will reach $34.7 billion, but AFIS systems are also expected to grow at a 20.6 percent CAGR over the next seven years.

The U.S. market is estimated to be worth $7.1 (7) billion this year, half of the market size China is expected to represent in 2027 after growing at an 18.5 percent CAGR. The Asia-Pacific region not including China is expected to be worth $10.1 billion by 2027.

Iris recognition will grow at an 18.8 percent CAGR, according to GIA, and reach $10.3 billion by the end of the forecast period.

The impact of the pandemic is also considered in the report.

Mobile biometrics

The mobile biometrics market is expected to be neutrally-impacted by COVID-19, with an increasing number of mobile payment transactions as banks rapidly digitize, a new Technavio report suggests.

The ‘Mobile Biometrics Market by Technology, Application, and Geography – Forecast and Analysis 2020-2024’ report explores three different forecast scenarios for the impact of COVID-19, as well as the market ecosystem, five forces analysis, and the applications, technologies and geographies that make up the market over 120 pages.

Market growth will decelerate by 19 percent over the forecast period, but the mobile biometrics market will still grow by $15.63 billion overall, a 21.53 percent CAGR, according to Technavio. Of that growth, 43 percent will come from the APAC region.

The top four mobile biometrics vendors over the forecast period, according to Technavio, are Egis TechnologyFingerprint CardsFujitsu and NEC Corporation.

Voice recognition

The global market for voice biometrics will grow by $2.6 billion, or 19 percent CAGR from 2020 to 2024, driven in large part by law enforcement, BFSI and health care applications, Technavio writes in another report.

The ‘Global Voice Recognition Biometrics Market 2020-2024’ report analyzes trends, growth drivers and challenges, as well as 25 vendors over 120 pages. The market is also segmented according to end-users and geography.

Automatic identification and capture

The new ‘Automatic Identification and Data Capture Market…’ report from MarketsandMarkets forecasts a leap from $40.1 billion in 2020 to $80.3 billion in 2025, a 14.9 percent CAGR for an industry that includes barcoding solutions, wearables, and radio frequency identification (RFID) solutions.

Key factors include the continuing growth of ecommerce, the use of smartphones for QR code scanning and image recognition, and rising adoption of AIDC solutions for minimizing queuing and transaction time. Increased adoption by financial institutions to provide data privacy-preserving security is also expected to impact the market.

The growth is forecast despite the market being adversely impacted by COVID-19, according to the 253-page report.

Biometric systems are considered as one product type within the market, along with barcodes, OCR systems, smart cards, and RFID products. As of 2019, biometrics held a relatively low share among these categories.

Government ID cards

COVID-19 has driven down the global market for government-issued smart ID cards by 11 percent, according to ABI Research.

Churn rates for passports have fallen by 50 to 60 percent from typical levels in some countries, and overall shipments of smart government ID credentials are expected to drop from 617.6 million last year to only 547.5 million in 2020. National ID issuance is expected to decline by 2.3 percent to 296 million units. E-passport issuance is expected to decrease by 34.9 percent, ABI predicts in its ‘Government and Healthcare ID Cards’ market report.

Programs in five (5) countries; Philippines, Ghana, Uganda, Kenya, and Nigeria have been delayed until 2021. Existing government programs have also shifted in many cases to allow more time for implementation, with the Real ID deadline in the U.S. just one example.

Identity and access management

The global identity and access management market will be worth $24.1 billion by 2025 according to another new report from MarketsandMarkets, with growth driven by increasing funding from venture capital firms and growing investments in IAM technology.

The market was estimated at $12.3 billion in 2020, and is expected to grow at a 14.5 percent CAGR.

The ‘Identity and Access Management Market’ report breaks down the market by component and solution type, organization size, deployment mode, industry vertical and region. Support and maintenance services are expected to be the segment with the highest growth rate, along with healthcare applications, while North America will hold the largest market share.

Revelation 13:16-17 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Night Watchman Note; We are to ‘be watchful’ in helping to understand today’s events as related to biblical prophecy. That is what ‘watchmen or women’ do. Jesus made clear that when He actually does come for His disciples, His wise and faithful servants would be aware of the time because they would be watching. They would know the season of the times by WATCHING those things ‘coming to pass or occurring’ as Jesus said they would. The ‘BENCHMARK SIGN(s)’ always point towards Israel / Jacob. God’s prophetic timepiece. The FALSE PEACE COVENANT confirmed by the Prince/Beast among MENA (the many) is the ‘key sign’ of the times or the season of the times. Yes, we are in that period. The Prince/Beast will likely confirm and enhance the current ‘normalization’ agreement with Jacob to be a ‘peace’ agreement, to be extended to 7 years from the current 5 years, to include some agreement permitting the rebuilding of the third temple in exchange for ‘some portion of Jerusalem.’ The current ‘investment’ period for the Palestinians stands at five (5) years. This will likely occur AFTER the Bride, Disciples or True Church is removed from the earth via the Rapture / Harpazo / Redemption / ‘Twinkling’.

1 Thessalonians 5:2-4; For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. (Be Watching).

Jesus Christ’s Offer of Salvation:

The ABCs of Salvation through Jesus Christ (the Lamb)

A. Admit/Acknowledge/Accept that you are sinner. Ask God’s forgiveness and repent of your sins.

. . . “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23).

. . . “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.” (Romans 3:10).

. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” (1 John 1:8).

B. Believe Jesus is Lord. Believe that Jesus Christ is who He claimed to be; that He was both fully God and fully man and that we are saved through His death, burial, and resurrection. Put your trust in Him as your only hope of salvation. Become a son or daughter of God by receiving Christ.

. . . “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:15-17). For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).

C. Call upon His name, Confess with your heart and with your lips that Jesus is your Lord and Savior.

. . . “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:9-10).

. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” (John 1:8-10).

. . . “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (John 2:2).

. . . “In this was manifested the love of god toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.” (1 John 4:9, 14-15).

. . . “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” (Romans 5:8-10).

. . . “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23).

. . . “Jesus saith unto them, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6).

. . . “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.” (Romans 1:16).

. . . “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts: 4:12).

. . . “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth for there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:4-6).

. . . “For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Thessalonians 5:9).

. . . “But as many as received him, to them gave the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” (John 1:12).

True Church / Bride of Christ Spared from God’s Wrath:

 Romans 5:8-10. “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.”

Romans 12:19Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

1 Thessalonians 1:10. And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come.

1 Thessalonians 5:9. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

Romans 8:35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Jeremiah 30:7. Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.

Revelation 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.
