Rising adoption of facial recognition technology across various sectors like security, financial services, and law enforcement globally can drive the market growth.

Increasing demand for advanced surveillance systems for public safety and rising applications of facial recognition in mobile devices can drive the market growth. Wide usage of Facial Recognition in applications such as Emotion detection Recognition, law enforcement, access control and others along with integration of AI and ML capabilities in facial recognition systems can offer lucrative opportunities for market expansion.

Increasing demand for enhanced security solutions

There has been increasing need to improve security checks at airports, railway stations, offices, malls, and other public places. Traditionally security used to rely on manual identification methods like ID cards, passports, and others but with large volumes of people moving daily through these places, manual verification tends to become inefficient and error prone.

Facial recognition systems offer a viable solution as these provide non-intrusive and automated identification of individuals. Using advanced algorithms that can extract facial features from images or video feeds, these systems allow identifying people from a large database in real-time with high accuracy. For example, airports can leverage such technologies to identify passengers during check-ins, immigration or boarding by matching their photos taken on the spot to those in their travel documents or watch-lists of suspicious individuals. This greatly enhances security while also reducing waiting times compared to manual verification.

Several government agencies around the world such as U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in the United States, Singapore's Changi Airport, The European Union's Smart Borders initiative, Carrasco International Airport in Uruguay, etc. have started deploying facial recognition at their borders and ports of entry to tighten security. Law enforcement authorities are also increasingly relying on these solutions to identify criminals, missing persons or recognize suspects during investigations by running facial analytics on CCTV footage or databases of wanted persons. Organizations dealing with high security premises like military installations have incorporated these systems for access control and monitoring.
