The presence of several global restaurant chains and supermarkets in this region are predicted to bolster growth in this geography during the forecast period.
The new industry research report from Technavio discusses in detail the key drivers and trends responsible for the growth of this market and its sub-segments.
“One of the interesting trends gaining prominence in this market is the advent of contactless biometrics. Recently, it has been observed that many organizations are reluctant to adopt contact biometric solutions owing to increased instances of communicable diseases like Ebola and swine influenza. This reluctance has forced vendors to develop equipment like contactless fingerprint scanners that are suitable for organizations, which are specific about their hygiene standards,” says Amrita Chaudury, Lead Analyst, ICT, Technavio Research.
Technavio analysts have estimated the fingerprint identification technology segment to be the largest market segment during the forecast period. This segment currently dominates the global market for biometrics in the retail sector and is envisaged to account for more than 30% of the total market share by 2020. Much of this segment’s growth can be attributed to the ability of fingerprint identification systems to aid in time and attendance monitoring, inventory management, inventory management, and access control for the database.
The leading vendors in the global biometrics market in retail sector include Crossmatch Technologies, Honeywell Security, M2SYS Technology, NEC, Safran, and Suprema. This market is highly fragmented due to the presence of numerous small and large vendors. The vendors in the market compete on the basis of price, quality, innovation, service, reputation, and promotion to gain a competitive edge over their rivals during the forecast period.
