According to a recently published report, the report states North America is expected to dominate the biometrics market, closely followed by Europe and Asia. Despite Europe’s continuing economic woes, the region’s share of the global market is predicted to increase over the projected period. In terms of technology, fingerprint identification is expected to account for 43% of the biometrics market. With a share of 26%, facial recognition comes second and iris identification is third with 13.2%. The Global Biometric Systems Market 2014-2024 provides analysis of the current industry size and growth expectations from 2014 to 2024, including highlights of key growth stimulators.

Think of it as a government version of Foursquare, with Big Brother cataloging every check-in.
