Summary

The Middle East & Africa biometric technologies market was valued at US$ 2,706.28 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 7,559.33 million by 2030; it is estimated to register a CAGR of 13.7% from 2022 to 2030.

Expanding Application Range in Government Sector Bolsters Middle East & Africa Biometric Technologies Market

Governments are using biometric technologies for various verifications, such as national ID systems, border control infrastructure, or welfare program verification, this is creating substantial demand for technology providers. The adoption of biometric technologies in government operations often sets standards for data formats and systems, leading to wider adoption in the industrial sector and economies of scale for manufacturers. Biometric technologies are being deployed in several government projects. Increased use of biometrics in government and commercial sectors bolsters the biometric technology market. T5-OmniMatch, a multimodal biometric system developed by TECH5 facilitates identification, verification, and authentication by face, fingerprint, and iris biometrics. TECH5's digital ID and biometric technologies are being used as a part of the National ID Program (NIDP) in Ethiopia for the issuance of foundational ID. NIDP Ethiopia and TECH5 collaborated in 2021 to integrate digital ID and biometric technology for the Ethiopian NIDP. TECH5 is now a global technology partner and supplier for the Ethiopian government entity's NIDP. TECH5 biometric matching platforms are being used for biometric identification, de-duplication, and enrollment based on face, fingerprint, and iris modalities. Similarly, in 2022, Ethiopia deployed a production system as part of its pre-launch phase to execute its first Foundational ID project using TECH5 technologies. NIDP Ethiopia makes it easy for the government to issue digital IDs and reduce the need for smart cards. Additionally, new IDs are distributed and used more easily, and authentication is available online and offline without the need for a costly hardware setup. Over 3 million Ethiopians have signed up to take part in the initiative currently. While increased applications in the government sector propel the demand for biometric technologies, the careful consideration of ethical, legal, and technical challenges is crucial for sustainable growth and public acceptance.

Middle East & Africa Biometric Technologies Market Overview

The biometric technologies market in the Middle East & Africa is segmented into South Africa, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the Rest of Middle East & Africa. The demand for biometrics technologies at Airports in the Middle East is driving the market growth. For instance, in January 2023, airports in the Middle East, especially Dubai International Airport, adopted the Iris ID Systems iCAM D1000 product line, which is used for security checkpoints. iCAM D1000 is capable of capturing pictures of the set-up 0.5-1 meter away with a simple user interface, supporting airports by providing iris and face capture solutions that are compliant with high-quality standards. The biometric technologies market in North Africa is projected to grow soon due to the rising adoption of biometrics at luggage check-in, security check, and boarding facilities. Increasing government initiatives to encourage the adoption of biometric technologies further benefit the market in North Africa. In July 2023, the government of Ethiopia implemented the biometric digital ID program with plans to enroll all eligible adults in the system by 2025. The program is a one-stop shop where all the data about an individual, resident, or citizen is found, and the government ensures that the registrants are constantly aware of the purposes for which their data is being used. This also allows the government of Ethiopia to protect their data and enhances country's security from cyberattacks.
