Biometrics Market in Europe 2014-2018: Key Vendors are 3M Cogent, Cognitec, NEC and Safran

DUBLIN, Oct. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Biometrics Market in Europe 2014-2018" report to their offering.

Biometrics is a technology which helps to assess individuals on the basis of their physical or behavioral patterns. It involves the verification and identification of both physiological traits such as fingerprints, face recognition, DNA, palm print, hand geometry, and iris recognition, and behavioral traits such as keystroke patterns and speech pattern/voice recognition.

The data derived are then used for security and authentication purposes, as it is difficult to forge biometric data. Biometrics is mainly used for law enforcement, banking authentication, and providing physical access. It helps provide an extra layer of security for data access and individual identification.

The analysts forecast the Biometrics market in Europe will grow at a CAGR of 17.25 percent during the period 2013-2018.

This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the Biometrics market in Europe for the period 2013-2018. To calculate the market size, the report considers revenue generated from the sales of biometrics solutions. It also presents the vendor landscape and a corresponding detailed analysis of the top four vendors in the market.

In addition, the report discusses the major drivers that influence the growth of the Biometrics market in Europe. It also outlines the challenges faced by vendors and the market at large, as well as the key trends that are emerging in the market.

Currently, the adoption rate of fingerprint identification technology in ATMs in developing regions in Europe is low. One of the primary reasons for this is the lack of awareness about ATMs and the inability to operate them. Therefore, many banks have introduced ATMs integrated with biometrics in order to make it easier for end-users to access their accounts.

In addition, ATMs integrated with biometrics do not require a communication infrastructure. Moreover, the adoption of biometrics in the BFSI sector eliminates the need for ATM cards, saving huge costs for banks. This trend is gradually catching up, and the region is expected to witness an increase in the integration of biometrics in ATMs in the future.

According to the report, the growing need for advanced security in the Government sector is one of the drivers in this market. Government departments such as intelligence, defense, finance, and military are the major users of facial recognition technology. To secure their perimeter, government departments of various countries have installed stronger security measures, including biometric security solutions. In recent years, the Government sector has been the major contributor of revenue for the market.

Further, the report states that one of the key challenges in the market is the strong competition it faces from inexpensive non-biometric technologies. The presence of low-cost alternative technologies such as swipe cards, token-based two-factor authentication, and software authentication is a major challenge affecting the growth of the Biometrics market in Europe.

The study was conducted using an objective combination of primary and secondary information including inputs from key participants in the industry. The report contains a comprehensive market and vendor landscape in addition to a SWOT analysis of the key vendors.

Global Mobile Biometrics Market 2014-2018

DUBLIN, Apr. 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/gc8xld/global_mobile) has announced the addition of the "Global Mobile Biometrics Market 2014-2018" report to their offering.

http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769

The increase in mergers and acquisitions is one of the most prominent trends witnessed in the market. The Global Mobile Biometrics market is currently witnessing increasing consolidation, which is expected to continue in the future. Both existing vendors and new entrants are taking the acquisitive route to either enter the market or broaden their portfolio of offerings. For instance, Apple acquired AuthenTec for US$356 million in 2012. The acquisition helped Apple attain all its patents for biometric security in mobile devices. 3M completed the acquisition of Cogent Inc. in December 2010 for US$943 million. Cogent develops biometric recognition systems that allow government and businesses to identify individuals by their fingers, palms, faces, and irises.

According to the report, the growth of the Global Mobile Biometrics market is driven by several drivers. One such driver is the increasing use of personal devices for financial transactions. Financial institutions, these days, are encouraging the use of mobile banking and online financial transactions, thereby increasing the need for high-level security. Since the use of biometrics in mobile devices helps provide high-level security, there has been an increase in the adoption of biometrics in mobile devices.

Further, the report states that one of the key challenges in the market is the availability of inexpensive non-biometric technologies. Besides mobile biometrics, there is a high availability of solutions such as token-based two-factor authentication, password authentication, and software authentication in the market. As these solutions are relatively inexpensive and easy to operate, they are finding greater acceptance among individual consumers.

Global Automatic Speech Recognition Market 2014-2018

DUBLIN, Apr. 02, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

Research and Markets

(

http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/cqlzs7/global_automatic

) has announced the addition of the

"Global Automatic Speech Recognition Market 2014-2018"

report to their offering.

(Logo:http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130307/600769)

One of the major trends being witnessed in the market is the increasing usage of voice passwords. Normal passwords are easy to remember and crack, thereby increasing security threats. Therefore, organizations are increasingly adopting biometric passwords in which symbols are replaced by the voice of the person.

The voice of the person becomes the password and provides identification and authentication. In addition, voice passwords cannot be replicated and will help companies improve customer service by enabling them to support the enrolment and authentication of clients. ASR applications are basically used for customized user authentication when multiple end-users are present or multiple people use the same product such as for secure interactions on mobile phones and electronic devices in vehicles and homes.

According to the report, one of the major drivers in this market is the increasing demand for speech-based biometrics for identification purposes. The Biometrics segment is witnessing high demand for speech recognition applications because of the growing instances of fraud. Hence, the vendors in this segment are developing cost-effective and easy-to-deploy ASR applications that help in fraud management.

Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the lack of accuracy in speech recognition systems. Speech recognition applications are highly sensitive to ambient noises, which reduces accuracy levels. Although the Speech Recognition industry has witnessed several technological advancements, the issue of high sensitivity to sound remains a barrier to the adoption of ASR applications.
