Japan Biometrics Market 2014-2018 with DDS Inc., Fujitsu Ltd., Hitachi Ltd. & NEC Corp Dominating
M2 - Tue Jun 24, 6:23AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/v84f6z/biometrics_market) has announced the addition of the "Biometrics Market in Japan 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Biometrics market in Japan will grow at a CAGR of 34.6% over the period 2013-2018 The growth of the Biometrics market in Japan is driven by several factors, of which the most important is the integration of biometrics in ATMs. Many banks have introduced ATMs integrated with biometrics because accessing end-users' accounts becomes easier when compared to using cards and personal identification numbers. In addition, ATMs integrated with biometrics do not require a communication infrastructure. This is in turn supporting the growth of the Biometrics market in Japan. The integration of biometrics and smart cards for projects such as rural banking and upgradation of the driver's license is one of the major trends witnessed in the market. Besides the aforementioned projects, biometrics is being used as a stand-alone authentication device for various purposes. Biometrics integrated in smart cards offers the advantage of offline authentication, which is especially beneficial for end-users in remote locations without a proper communication infrastructure. In addition, smart cards have the added advantage of storing multiple applications for multiple purposes. Thus, a smart card integrated with biometrics enables physical and logical access while being able to store all the necessary data. Individuals can also keep track of their access histories with the help of a smart card terminal. Further, the report states that one of the key challenges in the market is the strong competition from inexpensive non-biometric technologies. The presence of low-cost alternative technologies such as swipe cards, token-based two-factor authentication, and software authentication is a major challenge affecting the growth of the Biometrics market in Japan.

M2 - Mon Jun 23, 8:16AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/dwsx9g/global_facial) has announced the addition of the "Global Facial Recognition Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global Facial Recognition market will grow at a CAGR of 26.6% during the period 2013-2018 The Government, Financial, and Aviation sectors use facial recognition systems to a large extent to recognize individuals. Equipped with a database-mining feature, the software application identifies individuals from samples available in a database and provides access privileges only to the right person. The emergence of 3D facial recognition systems is a new trend witnessed in the Global Facial Recognition market. This 3D approach is achieved by integrating two cameras that are synchronized together to reconstruct a 3D facial template for a user. Moreover, this technique uses 3D sensors to capture information about the facial characteristics of a person. This information is then used to identify distinctive features of a face, such as the curve of the eye sockets, nose, and chin. The system has enhanced the accuracy level of facial recognition systems such that it can easily identify identical twins accurately. Therefore, manufacturers of face recognition systems are slowly replacing 2D techniques with 3D techniques because of their unique advantages. One of the drivers in this market is the growing need for advanced security in the Government sector. Government departments such as Intelligence, Defense, Finance, and Military are the major adopters and users of facial recognition technology. Hence, to secure their perimeter, government departments of various countries are installing stronger security measures, including facial recognition software. In recent years, the Government sector has been the major revenue contributor to the market.
