North America Facial Recognition Market

The facial recognition market in North America is expected to grow from US$ 1,628.13 million in 2021 to US$ 3,907.98 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 13.3% from 2021 to 2028.

Biometrics gained huge traction among intelligence agencies after the world witnessed several severe terrorist attacks in the past, e.g., the attack on World Trade Center on September 11, 2011, in the US. The data were collected through biometric, especially by military personnel in possibly high-threat nations. Facial recognition technologies have been deployed by federal and regional law enforcement departments, homeland security departments, and other security agencies across the region. These biometric systems help them solve different crime cases by facilitating the rapid identification of offenders. Furthermore, in the military sector, facial recognition systems are employed to identify individuals on the battlefield. The US military has spent more than US$ 4.5 million in the development of facial recognition technology that reads the heat patterns emitted by faces to identify specific people. In 2021, The US Army called for proposals to install a facial recognition security system at the entry points of all its bases. In addition, the government of Mexico is strengthening border control by automating the entry process by utilizing SITA’s Automated Border Control kiosks to use biometric technology to verify passengers’ identities and improve national security. Thus, increasing deployment of facial recognition technology by government is driving the market growth.
