Facial Recognition Market Trends

• Government investments in facial recognition technologies are fueling market growth

Marker CAGR for Facial Recognition is being driven by the government investments in facial recognition technologies. Governments in several nations are investing large resources to deploy advanced facial recognition technology, which provides high security and monitoring to prevent violent crimes, terrorist threats, and human trafficking. The United States and China are the most aggressive users of facial recognition technology, with China being the largest exporter of facial recognition technologies. The Chinese government has made significant investments as it prioritizes public security, encourages the development of artificial intelligence, and strives to limit the spread of covid-19. Leading facial recognition and surveillance businesses such as Hikivison, Dahua, iFlyTek, SenseTime, and, most recently, Jiadu Technology have been tapped as part of China's "National AI Team" to improve AI technology with applications advancing facial identification and surveillance. This increases the need for the facial recognition market.

The increasing adoption of modern video surveillance systems such as 360 security cameras, thermal security cameras, outdoor PIZ cameras, CCTV, and others by end-users to improve security and safety is one of the key factors for facial recognition market growth. Video surveillance systems are mostly utilized in industrial process monitoring, traffic control, and crime prevention. The rising need for video surveillance systems in business workplaces, airports, public transportation vehicles, households, and warehouses, among other places, is expected to drive market growth.

Sectors such as government and commercial offices are driving market growth by focusing on the use of mobile video surveillance systems for security against criminal activities and fraud. According to the Maharashtra State Police, the Mumbai police used citywide closed-circuit television camera (CCTV) footage in approximately 1,287 cases in October 2018 and solved 520 criminal cases. In addition, the government and law enforcement sectors are adopting and pushing facial recognition technology to identify persons in films, pictures, or real-time. For example, in January 2020, the government of Moscow installed live facial recognition cameras to offer inhabitants with protection. The NtechLab company provides these cameras to assist the police force in searching for suspects on a live camera.

As people limit their contact with one another, the coronavirus pandemic is hastening the march toward a cashless economy. Cashless transactions serve to reduce corruption and the flow of illicit money, hence improving the nation's economy. China's WeChat Pay launched its "Frog Pro" device in 2020, which includes a 3D depth-sensing camera that can scan customers' faces to process payments. Such company breakthroughs and technologies aid the facial recognition business.
