According to MarkNtel Advisors, the Global Biometric-as-a-Service Market is projected to grow at around 19.78% CAGR during 2022-27. Biometrics-as-a-Service (BaaS) models are used extensively across various industries, such as banking & finance institutions, government offices, etc., to minimize the risk of breaches & attacks and offer customized services. The use of BaaS to track day-to-day workforce activities in enterprises is amongst the most prominent aspects driving the market.

Furthermore, the increasing trend of Bring-Your-Own-Device (BYOD) in organizations and mounting data security issues worldwide have surged the use of cloud-based mobile biometric services. According to the World Internet Stats 2021, there are around 5.1 billion mobile & internet subscribers globally. With the growing number of mobile & internet subscribers and internet fraud & cyberattacks, there exists an urgent need to deploy biometric solutions in vital sectors worldwide. 

Banks & Financial Institutions to Continue Leading the Market through 2027

The mounting reliance on internet banking services, payment applications, such as Google Pay, WhatsApp Payments, and Amazon Pay across the globe is the prime aspect expected to drive the demand for BaaS models across banking & financial institutions through 2027.
