Biometrics Stock Directory Released: North American and Global Markets
Forecasted to Have Substantial Growth
Point Roberts, WA, Delta BC – June 8, 2016 –
Investorideas.com, a global news source and investor resource covering actively
traded sectors releases its updated biometric
stocks directory for investors following the sector.
According to research released by Technavio today, the
biometrics market in North America is expected to reach over USD 8 billion in
revenue by 2020.
They note, “Increased use of websites and web
applications by end-users leaves organizations vulnerable to cyber-attacks and
data pilferage. The increasing complexity of these attacks and the growing
awareness about security risks have compelled end-users to adopt more secure,
multi-modal authentication solutions.”
A Research and Market report issued earlier this
year -Global Biometric Authentication & Identification Market: Focus on
Modality, Motility & Application -- Estimation & Forecast, 2015-2020 –
says, “In the last few years, the world has witnessed a series of technological
innovations that make the biometrics both technically and commercially feasible
today.
With associated advantages of data redundancy,
multi-level security, convenience and advanced quality, the global biometric
market value is anticipated to grow from $10.08 billion in 2014 to $25.31
billion in 2020 at an estimated CAGR of 16.56% from 2015 to 2020. “
