Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis By Component (Hardware, Software, Services), By End-use Industry (BFSI, Government, Healthcare, Hospitality, Transportation, Others) And Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

Automated fingerprint identification system (AFIS) is a biometric identification (ID) method which is used for storing and analyzing digital fingerprints. Automated fingerprint identification system is used mostly for two applications that includes the fingerprint identification and fingerprint verification. AFIS was introduced around more than two decades ago and it is significantly being used by investigation department of various countries in criminal cases. Demand for automated fingerprint identification system (AFIS) technology is significantly increasing in the criminal investigation application for the identification of criminals. Thus, increasing crime rate is anticipated to drive the demand for AFIS technology. Considering the aforementioned factors, demand for automated fingerprint identification systems market is growing among end-use industries which is expected to propel the growth of the automated fingerprint identification systems market.

Automated fingerprint identification system uses digital imaging technology to collect and store fingerprints. These fingerprints are matched with the database records to help identify an individual. Furthermore, government of various countries are focusing on linking one identification proof with another identification proof of the same individual which helps to make the administrative system of the country more transparency. AFIS technology is significantly used in electronic devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops, etc. to unlock the device and complete the mobile payment solution is anticipated to fuel the market growth. In addition, demand for integrated solutions, increasing security threats, and rise in online transactions are expected to propel the market growth. These has increased concern for confidentiality and integrity of the organizational data. Additionally, market vendors operating in automated fingerprint identification system market are prominently focusing on incorporating innovative software enabled with AI and IoT technologies to provide enhanced and more reliable AFIS technology is expected to drive the market growth.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON AUTOMATED FINGERPRINT IDENTIFICATION SYSTEMS MARKET

The COVID-19 had moderate impact on the automated fingerprint identification systems market. COVID-19 pandemic has ramifications for the AFIS providers for short term as well as long term outlook. Due to pandemic, many businesses, manufacturing plants, retail business were negatively affected due to imposition of lockdown. However, the pandemic has resulted in the shift of many organizations toward contactless identification system. Post COVID-19, demand of contactless identification system has significantly increased in organizations across the globe. Also, many small and medium size enterprises and large enterprises have increased their budget spending for contactless fingerprint identification system. Even after the pandemic recedes, the demand for contact based fingerprint system is expected to reduce. Thus, it is analyzed that COVID-19 pandemic has transformed the organizations approach towards fingerprint identification system and it has moderately impacted the automated fingerprint identification systems market.
