The report categorizes the global mobile biometrics market into four major segments based on technology. They are:

  • Fingerprint recognition
  • Voice recognition
  • Facial recognition
  • Others

The three most important segments in the global mobile biometrics market are discussed below.

Global mobile biometrics market by fingerprint recognition

The global mobile biometrics market by fingerprint recognition is likely to reach USD 12 billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of almost 103%.

In contactless mobile payments, credit or debit card details are stored in a chip in the mobile device, and at the time of payment, the customer has to authenticate himself for transactions with fingerprint recognition. The transactions are carried out once the customer is authenticated. With the introduction of Apple Pay, contactless mobile payments have become possible. Other vendors such as Samsung (News - Alert) are also implementing contactless mobile payments.

"Apart from the usage of mobile fingerprint technology in the retail and commercial sectors, sectors such as healthcare, defense, and enterprises will also experience revenue growth during the forecast period," says Amrita Choudhury, a lead research analyst at Technavio for IT security.



Global mobile biometrics market by voice recognition

The global mobile biometrics market by voice recognition is expected to exceed USD 11 billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of over 97%.


Voice biometrics has a low total cost of ownership (TCO) and is more user-friendly compared to other biometrics technologies as it eliminates the need to have a multitude of complicated passwords to get access to secured transactions and systems. It provides an extra layer of security besides PINs and smart cards, increasing its adoption in the BFSI sector. However, with the emergence of other biometrics technologies such as facial recognition, which is more accurate compared to voice biometrics, its growth rate is likely to decline.

Global mobile biometrics market by facial recognition

The global mobile biometrics market by facial recognition is likely to exceed USD 1 billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of over 128%.

Due to growing instances of theft of mobile devices, a number of OEMs are integrating facial recognition biometrics in these devices as they provide access to the end-user only after authentication, thus preventing fraudulent activity. Facial recognition technology is high reliable, accurate, and cost-effective. It is difficult to deceive the facial recognition technology, and this is increasing its acceptance among enterprises and individual consumers.

"Increasing adoption of m-commerce is also likely to increase the adoption of facial recognition in mobile devices. In addition, there is an increasing need to secure personal information among users, which is fostering the growth of the market," says Amrita.

The top vendors highlighted by Technavio's research analysts in this report are:

  • 3M Cogent
  • Apple (News - Alert)
  • Google
  • NEC
  • Nuance Communications
