The study provides Porter’s five forces analysis to understand the impact of various factors, such as bargaining power of suppliers, competitive intensity of competitors, threat of new entrants, threat of substitutes, and bargaining power of buyers on the global mobile biometric market share.
Top Impacting Factors
Growing applications of biometric devices
The demand for biometric solutions are on a rise since the past few years, as with the growth of digital media and online content delivery, traditional methods of authentication such as signatures and text-based credentials are being proven to be harder for users due to such methods being highly vulnerable to modern cyber-attacks, such factors are positively affecting the mobile biometric market growth. Moreover, with the increasing number of digital services, users are in a desperate need to find quicker modes of authentication. Hence driving the need for mobile biometric authentication solutions.
However, over the past two years, the rising hygiene concerns and the increasing risk of the communal spread of coronavirus posed by touch-based biometric solutions have forced manufacturers to focus more on contactless biometrics technologies such as facial recognition and voice recognition. which is further helping in the expansion of mobile biometrics market by opening new avenues of growth.
Higher degree of security and assurance
Biometric solutions can provide an increased level of assurance to providers that a person is real by verifying a tangible, real-world feature that is unique (in most cases) to that particular individual such as fingerprints, facial attributes, voice articulation, among others. Traditionally, users would have to depend upon passwords or PINs and personal identifying information to authenticate themselves.
However, traditional credential-based authentication systems can be compromised with a data breach, meaning, billions of accounts can be accessed by fraudsters who retain the answers to traditional authentication methods. Introducing biometric authentication into the process adds in a roadblock for fraudsters that only a real, authorized user can move around - though a fraudster may know a person uses their dog’s name and some lucky numbers for most of their online accounts, while they still might not get to use the user’s fingerprint to unlock an account if they can’t provide it on the spot. Such applications of biometric devices are aiding in their adoption in more real world and mission critical operations.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The COVID pandemic has had an overall positive impact on the mobile biometric market, owing to a significant change towards the rise of digital retail and e-commerce platforms, which has resulted in increased engagement of online payments and a potential rise in cyber-attacks in the form of frauds and identity thefts. In such a scenario, strong authentication services for various banking and financial applications such as customer KYC and funds transfer are at call, and the use of high-quality security tools are essential.
In 2020, global investments in data security are increased by 2.4% to reach $123.8 billion. And with the growing awareness of data privacy and safety among users will probably influence organizations to be stricter with their security policies and help the global mobile biometric market to grow further in the coming years.
