LONDON, Nov. 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The rising use
of biometrics in law enforcement mainly depends on the development
of automated fingerprint identification system (AFIS). In addition
to the advances in AFIS itself, extension of its life cycle and
reduction in associated maintenance spend will be important to
boost the technology's uptake.
New analysis from Frost & Sullivan, Enforcing the Law
Using Biometrics, finds that the market earned revenues of
$838 million in 2014 and estimates
this to reach $1,129 million in 2021.
The study covers LiveScan, Mobile ID and AFIS.

The ever-increasing concern over domestic terrorism is one of
the major drivers for biometrics in law enforcement. With
biometrics, law enforcement agencies can deny anonymity to
fraudsters, terrorists and criminals using the latest technology to
calibrate attacks. Agencies can get information and intelligence to
identify the criminal with precision and speed.
"While the need for system maintenance will strengthen the
biometrics market across mature economies, new product adoption
will be the key factor fuelling growth in less mature geographies,"
said Frost & Sullivan Manufacturing 4.0 Industry Analyst Ram
Ravi. "Biometrics vendors will have to demonstrate their
capabilities and establish a strong brand reputation to win tenders
in these markets."
A key concern for vendors, however, is the limited budget
allotted for new biometric technologies so that larger funds can be
made available for projects of greater significance to countries'
growth and security. The unfavourable global economic conditions
will further cause governments to defer expenditure on new
biometric technologies and reforms.
"One way to counter tight defence budgets is to slash the prices
of biometric systems. This, in turn, will heighten the importance
of middleware/services over hardware," noted Ravi.
Impending opportunities for middleware and software vendors are
driving efforts to improve biometric algorithms for higher accuracy
in the law enforcement process. Vendors that can successfully
achieve this will have brighter prospects in the law enforcement
space.
