Global Biometric Banking Market is valued at approximately USD 5 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 17.2% over the forecast period 2023-2030. Biometric banking, also known as biometric authentication in banking, refers to the use of biometric technology to verify the identity of individuals accessing their bank accounts, conducting financial transactions, or performing other banking activities. Biometrics involves the measurement and analysis of unique physical or behavioral characteristics of individuals for identification and authentication purposes. The Biometric Banking Market is expanding because of factors such as the rising adoption of mobile banking and digital payments, rising fraud prevention concerns, and the rising adoption of neo-banking.
The financial industry has witnessed a profound shift towards digitalization, with consumers increasingly relying on online and mobile banking services for their financial transactions. This surge in digital payments has brought about several challenges related to security and identity verification, which traditional authentication methods might not address effectively. Biometric banking solutions, which utilize unique physical or behavioral characteristics of individuals such as fingerprints, facial recognition, or voice patterns, have emerged as a robust response to these security challenges. According to Indian Brand Equity Foundation digital payments in India are anticipated to increase 4 times by 2026-2027. In 2022-2023 , there is a projected year-on-year transactional volume growth of 56%. Furthermore, digital transactions are expected to surge by 56% within a single year, soaring from USD 873.38 million in 2021-22 to USD 1.46 billion in 2022-23. Similarly, according to the Germany Trade and Invest report, Germany is home to Europe’s second-largest market for digital payments. In 2022, the value of digital payment transactions was USD 5.22 billion, and by 2026, it is anticipated to reach USD 7.69 billion. Thus, the rising number of digital payments is driving the market growth. In addition, rising technological advancement, and strong regulatory requirements are creating new opportunities for market growth. However, Security concerns stifle market growth throughout the forecast period of 2023-2030.
