Military Biometrics Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Technology ( Fingerprint Recognition, Facial Recognition, Iris Recognition, Others ), By Solution ( Hardware, Software ) and regional Forecast, 2024-2032

A biometric system is an electronic system that uses to authenticate the identity of an individual. The biometric system comprises hardware and software components that are utilized to take physical input from individuals and processes that input data to get authentication. The authentication can be done through different technologies such as fingerprint recognition, facial recognition, iris recognition, and others. The threat to the security of the nation is increased with an increase in the number of illegal migrants. Border security is a very crucial part of the nation's security. Hence the demand for military biometric systems has increased to strengthen border security.

An increase in the number of illegal migrations and rising adoption of iris recognition biometric systems for military applications are the key factors that are expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period. However, owing to changing the war nature the threat of cyber attack is increased, which raises the concern towards biometric data security. Protecting biometric data from cyber-attack is a major challenge that is expected to hamper the market growth. Despite this, a rising focus on strengthening the nation's security, the government allocating the large budget for the procurement and development of advanced solutions that are estimated to create ample growth opportunities in the market.
