The image recognition technology is used among various industries to validate various data. Leading companies in healthcare, retail, automotive, advertising, and e-commerce are rapidly integrating with image recognition-based applications. These applications help enterprises to enhance the productivity of business. The growing potential of computer vision has attracted significant investment in this technology. The popular applications of image processing include medical face detection, image analysis, driverless car vision, and gesture recognition.


COVID-19 IMPACT 


COVID-19 Pandemic Supported Moderate Adoption of Facial Recognition Applications


The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the trend of digitalization and changed the world. All sectors of the economy use advanced technology to transform traditional business models. The pandemic has prompted many organizations to adopt advanced recognition technologies such as facial recognition and pattern recognition during the time of the pandemic. Various banking and financial institutions are developing face recognition-based mobile payment services. 


Moreover, acceptance of advanced technologies, such as machine vision, artificial intelligence, and computer vision, is promoting the adoption of image detection and recognition technology. Modern diagnostic and radiological methods of chronic disease use intelligent image recognition and analysis techniques, demonstrating substantial market growth across the healthcare industry. However, reducing prices of hardware and unfavorable government policies are hampering the market growth. The pandemic had slowed production as well as logistic processes, resulting in reduced demand for technology. Further, closure of shops and malls stymied the implementation of magic mirrors and virtual fitting rooms, restraining the product demand. Governmental ban on facial recognition for security and surveillance has majorly slowed down image identification technology adoption. Hence, the COVID-19 pandemic had a slightly negative impact on the growth of this market as a result of contracting demand.
