Global Voice Biometrics Market to Thrive Due to Mounting Demand for Robust Fraud Detection System Across BFSI Sector

The Global Voice Biometrics Market size was valued at around USD 2.53 billion in 2022 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of about 23.48% during the forecast period 2024-30, cites MarkNtel Advisors in the recent research report. The adoption of voice biometrics has increased across verticals such as BFSI, healthcare, telecommunication, etc., due to rising cyber security threats, improvements in voice recognition technology, surging usage of voice assistants & voice-activated devices, soaring digitalization of industries, and regulatory compliance & data privacy requirements. The demand for voice biometrics surged further as the BFSI sector's reliance on IT infrastructure rose exponentially, thus increasing online financial transactions.

As digitalization continues to advance, there has been a sharp rise in fraudulent activity in the banking sector. These actions frequently entail the theft of private information, giving fraudsters access to victims' bank accounts. A higher level of security is needed within the financial authentication system to address this pressing problem. Due to the need to intelligently identify users using their voiceprints, voice biometrics solutions have been scaled up in terms of adoption.

Several factors, including the economic growth of industrial sectors & the rising demand for better access to financial services for consumers & businesses, have contributed to the BFSI industry's significant growth over the past few years. The demand for better fraud detection services, such as voice biometrics, has increased as a result of these expansions, fueling the market growth, further states the research report, “Global Voice Biometric Market Analysis, 2024.”
