Market Highlights

Although the modern biometric technology is a recent phenomenon, it has increasingly influenced the security industry markets. Since the attacks on U.S. on 11 September 2001, which were carried out by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda, public security concerns have grown constantly, and the increase in international terrorism is evidenced by growing numbers of threats and attacks across the world. To prevent and fight terrorism, governments and authorities are seeking to issue more secure identification documents, protect airports and monitor public places; biometric technologies have a significant role to play.

By components, the airport biometrics is further segmented as hardware and software. In case of hardware segment, biometric sensor market can be segmented into capacitive sensors, thermal sensors, optical sensors, ultrasound sensors and electric sensors. Owing to factors such as multiple application, low cost and wide responsiveness, optical sensors have the largest share in airport biometrics market.

The market is also catching on to the advancements in biometrics technology; in Aruba, for example, facial IDs are already in place for KLM passengers flying to Amsterdam. Another instance would be LAX Airport in Los Angeles, where Lufthansa recently gave passengers the choice of getting on the flight without showing a boarding pass, if passenger agreed to submit their biometric scans.
