Market in healthcare industry is expected to grow at a high rate during the forecast period

The market in the healthcare industry is expected to grow at the highest rate between 2016 and 2022. The proliferation of electronic health records (EHRs) and the transition of data across health information exchanges (HIEs) created a huge demand for mobile biometrics as it is essential to secure and protect these digital records. Healthcare providers are using biometric patient identification systems to ensure patient safety by ensuring that patients are accurately identified prior to treatment.

Fingerprint recognition is expected to dominate the single-factor authentication mode during the forecast period

The fingerprint recognition technology is the most prominent biometrics technology that is being used at present. Most of the smartphone manufacturers such as Apple and Samsung use fingerprint recognition technology in their offerings. This strategy is being followed by emerging companies across the world. As fingerprint recognition is the most convenient technology in terms of investment and market acceptance, it is expected to lead the market during the forecast period.

North America holds the largest share of the mobile biometrics market; APAC is expected to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period

The adoption of mobile biometric technologies in passports & visas, banking & finance, large-scale funded programs, and employee access monitoring in buildings is driving the growth of the mobile biometrics market in North America.

The market in APAC is expected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2016 and 2022. Many countries in the Asia-Pacific region have started adopting mobile biometric technologies in national IDs and e-passports.
