According to CXOs of leading companies, the physical security market is experiencing a colossal shift and growth, as biometric systems have gained a strong demand in both business and government organizations for unique body measurements or calculations that can act as a form of identification. However, with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, there is a significant demand for contactless biometric solutions, owing to fear of touching contaminated surfaces. Contactless biometric solutions including facial recognition or retinal scanning have become prominent, while fingerprint scanning, which was widely used for identification purposes, has witnessed a downward trend. In April 2020, hotels in Singapore announced their decision of rolling out contactless biometric systems to keep people interested in the hospitality sector. As a result, heavy investments were made for contactless AI systems such as self-check-in kiosks, mobile check-ins, chatbots, direct booking applications, contactless payments, as well as digital in-room dining services.
Similar trends and adoption behavior is being observed within the corporate sector in Japan. With growth in awareness regarding transmission of the coronavirus through contaminated public places, companies in Japan have actively started researching and developing new biometric products aligned with current needs. Various companies are integrating advanced sensor technologies to enable a touchless economy. For instance, NEC has developed security gates that identify people even though they have masks on, while Fujitec and Optex has introduced hand signals in elevators to open doors. Thus, elevating demand for such products is set to drive the market growth, thereby increasing profit margins for companies.
