Summary

The global facial recognition market is estimated to be worth USD 6.3 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 13.4 billion by 2028, at a CAGR of 16.3% during the forecast period. Increasing vulnerability to hacking and rising deep fakes drive the demand for facial recognition.
Presently, deepfakes are being used to circumvent facial recognition systems. This includes manipulating or fabricating video sequences making camera injection feasible. Camera injection attacks are on the rise by cybercriminals to insert modified video footage into facial recognition systems, taking advantage of flaws in these systems. Camera injection attacks have emerged amid increasing reliance on facial recognition security, posing a new threat to facial recognition security. Hence, organizations are increasingly implementing a comprehensive identity verification and fraud prevention approach to defend against camera injection attacks, driving the facial recognition market.
"By offering, the hardware segment accounts for a larger market share."
The forecast indicates that the hardware segment is anticipated to account for a larger market share in the facial recognition market during this period. The hardware enabling facial recognition deployments across the globe has evolved rapidly over the past decade. The facial recognition capability is integrated into cheap commercial devices like surveillance cameras, smartphones, and smart doorbells with specialized image sensor chips, on-device machine learning acceleration, and improved cameras—manufacturing of the hardware, economies of scale, and growing consumer acceptance fuel its broader adoption.
"By solution, the face verification segment to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period."
The forecast indicates that, by solution, the face verification segment is poised to register the highest growth rate in the facial recognition market during the forecast period. These key factors driving adoption include standardized APIs that allow easy integration with existing infrastructure, government regulation expanding its mandatory use for ID checks, companies embedding it in consumer devices like phones and laptops, and increasing end-user familiarity and trust in the technology. Facial verification transformation use cases are still emerging across sectors.
"Asia Pacific to register the highest growth rate during the forecast period."
The Asia Pacific region is expected to register the highest growth rate in the facial recognition market during the forecast period. Facial recognition technology has experienced widespread adoption and rapid growth throughout Asia, driven by technological advancements, governmental initiatives, and a cultural receptiveness to cutting-edge solutions. Nations such as China, Japan, and India have actively embraced facial recognition for various purposes. It is extensively employed in China for public security and daily activities like mobile payments. Japan explores applications in robotics and customer service, while India, with its ambitious digital initiatives, incorporates facial recognition in sectors such as e-governance, healthcare, and financial services. Despite the technology's positive impact on industries such as security and convenience, concerns related to privacy, data protection, and ethical use have emerged, emphasizing the importance of responsible regulation and oversight in the deployment of facial recognition across the diverse landscape of the Asia Pacific.
