Biometric Technology is the most reliable, accurate and fastest way of authentication available today using unique biological traits and characteristics ranging from fingerprints, facial attributes, palm print, palm vein, eyes, and even extended to DNA and electrocardiogram (ECG). Each with unique features and applications in almost every vertical.

The emergence of numerous technological advancements in areas such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things(IoT), Cloud Technology, Data Science, etc as well as continuous adoption of digital systems in various platforms transformed the biometric technology to the next level. Nowadays numerous innovative entities are budding up from Biometric Industry.

Biometric Trends in 2020:

Focus on Multimodal Biometrics

Systems based on multi-biometric technology not only enhances security but also convenience of user verification offering versatile functions and features. Today, there are more and more solutions have been released with multi-biometric technology especially combinations of fingerprint, face and palm recognition offering an additional layer of security and accuracy.

Higher Adoption of Hygienic User Verification

The recent ongoing public health issue has created safety and hygiene concerns associated with conventional biometric systems. Therefore, business organizations and public sectors will witness a wide spread adopt of touchless biometric systems especially facial recognition biometric systems owing to the fact that facial recognition systems offer high-end performance in terms of both speed and accuracy without any direct physical contact. Facial recognition also plays a huge part in Artificial Intelligence (AI) based video surveillance and analytics.
