Australia Biometric System Market Research Report, 2028

In Australia the use of biometrics can be traced back to the 1970s when fingerprinting was commonly used for criminal identification purposes. Law enforcement agencies were among the first to adopt biometric technology. During the 1980s, the adoption of biometric systems expanded beyond law enforcement. Government agencies began using fingerprint and facial recognition technology for border control and immigration processes. In 1999, Australia introduced Smart Gates at its major international airports. These automated biometric passport control systems utilized facial recognition technology to expedite the immigration process for eligible travelers. Australian universities and research institutions began conducting extensive research on various biometric modalities, including facial recognition, iris recognition, and palm vein recognition. This research contributed to the advancement of biometric technology. The Privacy Act of 1988 was amended in 2006 to include the Privacy Amendment (Biometric Information) Act. This legislation established a regulatory framework for the collection, use, and disclosure of biometric data, ensuring privacy protection. Australian banks and financial institutions started integrating biometric authentication methods into their mobile apps. Customers could use fingerprint recognition or facial recognition to access their accounts and make payments securely. Australia expanded its use of biometrics in border control with the introduction of biometric passenger processing at major airports. Facial recognition technology was used to verify the identities of travelers. The Australian government announced plans to create a National Facial Recognition System, known as "The Capability," to enhance law enforcement capabilities. This raised discussions about the balance between security and privacy. Biometric systems continue to be adopted across various sectors in Australia, including healthcare, education, and retail. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the use of touch less biometrics, such as facial recognition, for health and safety purposes. Australia now uses multimodal biometric systems, combining facial recognition with fingerprint scanning and other modalities for enhanced security and accuracy. According to the research report "Australia Biometric System Market Research Report, 2028," published by Actual Market Research, the Australia Biometric System market is expected to add more than USD 2.25 Billion from 2023 to 2028. Australia's aging population is driving the development of biometric systems that cater to seniors. These systems are designed to be user-friendly and accessible to individuals of all ages. Wearable healthcare devices with biometric features, such as heart rate monitoring and health tracking, are becoming more popular among consumers in Australia. Australia is exploring the use of biometrics in travel documents, such as biometric passports and visas, to enhance security at border crossings. Biometrics is increasingly used in cyber security for identity and access management. Australian businesses and government agencies use biometric authentication to protect sensitive data and systems from cyber threats. Biometric wearable, such as smart watches with heart rate monitors and fitness trackers, are popular among Australians for health and fitness tracking. The Australian financial sector is exploring biometric payment cards that use fingerprint authentication for secure and contactless payments. With the proliferation of IoT devices, biometric authentication is used to secure smart home and connected device ecosystems, ensuring only authorized users can access and control devices. Some regions in Australia are considering the use of biometrics for voter verification during elections, aiming to enhance the integrity of the electoral process. Car rental companies in Australia are using biometric verification for quick and secure rental vehicle pick-up and return processes. Residential and commercial properties use biometric smart locks for secure and convenient access control, enhancing physical security.

Based on product type the market is divided into Fingerprint Recognition, Face Recognition, Hand Geometry, Voice Recognition, Iris recognition/ Retina Recognition, Signature recognition, Vein Recognition and Others (Keystroke Dynamics, Gait Recognition, and Earlobe Geometry & DNA. Voice recognition technology has made significant advancements in accuracy, largely due to the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) algorithms. These improvements make voice recognition more reliable for biometric authentication. Voice recognition is one of the most user-friendly biometric technologies. Users can authenticate themselves simply by speaking, eliminating the need for physical contact or complex gestures. This convenience drives user adoption. In a post-pandemic world, contactless biometric technologies are gaining popularity due to hygiene concerns. Voice recognition requires no physical contact with devices, making it a hygienic choice for authentication. Virtual assistants and voice-activated services like those provided by smart speakers often use voice recognition for user authentication and personalized responses. Furthermore based on component the market is divided into hardware, software and services. Biometric system providers in Australia offer consulting and advisory services to help organizations assess their security needs, understand the potential applications of biometrics, and formulate a tailored biometric strategy. These services guide businesses in selecting the most suitable biometric solutions for their specific requirements. On-going maintenance and technical support services are critical for ensuring the reliability and functionality of biometric systems. Service providers offer regular updates, troubleshooting assistance, and system monitoring to prevent downtime and security breaches. In terms of end-user, Businesses and commercial establishments face a range of security risks, including unauthorized access, theft, vandalism, and employee fraud. Biometric systems provide an effective means of mitigating these risks by ensuring that only authorized individuals can access sensitive areas or information. Biometric systems are employed for time and attendance tracking in commercial enterprises. They accurately record employee work hours, reducing the potential for time fraud, buddy punching, and payroll errors. In commercial settings, visitor management is crucial for security. Biometric systems help identify and verify visitors, enhancing safety and preventing unauthorized entry. Businesses face advanced threats from cybercriminals and hackers. Biometric systems add an extra layer of security against unauthorized access, especially in online environments. In addition based on authentication the market is divided into Single-Factor Authentication and Multi-Factor Authentication. MFA systems are evolving to incorporate adaptive authentication, which assesses the risk associated with each login attempt. If a login appears suspicious or high-risk, additional authentication factors are required. This dynamic approach enhances security in real-time. MFA solutions are becoming more user-friendly. Modern MFA methods, including biometrics like facial recognition, offer a seamless and convenient user experience. Users appreciate the ease of authentication without compromising security. As Australian businesses increasingly migrate their operations to the cloud, MFA plays a pivotal role in securing access to cloud-based services and data. MFA ensures that only authorized users can access cloud resources, preventing unauthorized breaches. With the widespread use of smartphones and mobile apps, MFA solutions are adapting to provide secure mobile authentication. Mobile MFA methods, such as push notifications or biometric authentication on smartphones, are gaining prominence. The Portable segment is expected to capture the highest market share in the Australia biometric system market based on mobility.
