Global Automotive Biometric Market Dynamics:

With the growing focus on the development of autonomous vehicles, demand for advanced automotive biometric is set to increase. In the automotive security industry, biometric systems have gained wide acceptance because of their high accuracy. Since biometric systems rely on biometric mechanisms such as fingerprinting, voice recognition, and iris scanning, among others, there is a probability that personal information can be compromised.

In addition to this, the growing demand for aesthetics and comfort features in automobiles has led to an increase in the use of automotive biometrics. Using automotive biometrics, the user can personalize his/her vehicle. A biometrics system in an automotive is connected to an interior camera that can recognize the driver's face and adjust the seat, mirror position, temperature, navigation, and other parameters according to the knowledge stored during a database. For instance, in September 2021, Genesis announced that it will begin rolling out of its own “Face Connect” technology, enabling vehicles to recognize human faces, open and close doors without using a smart key. Thus, this technological advancements proliferating the demand for automotive biometric market during the forecast period.
