Biometric recognition technology mainly includes fingerprint recognition, face recognition, finger vein recognition, palm vein recognition, iris recognition, voice recognition, etc.

At present, fingerprint recognition is the most widely used technology, accounting for 58% of all recognition products, occupying an absolute dominant position. Face recognition products have developed rapidly in recent years, accounting for 7%, and iris recognition products are 6%.

Attendance market, mainly using fingerprint recognition

The attendance market is the most traditional and well-known market for biometric, and it is also one of the main application areas of biometric.The traditional attendance market is almost dominated by fingerprint recognition technology. However, with the development of other biometric technologies, face recognition has the advantages of non-contact and long-distance, and vein recognition has begun to gradually intervene with its non-contact advantages.

Door lock market, mainly fingerprint and face recognition

The door lock is the first application of biometric technology to enter the mass consumer market. Especially in recent years, smart door locks using biometric technology have slowly begun to replace traditional locks.

According to statistics, more than 80% of urban users in the country have the need to install smart door locks, so the overall market size of smart door locks exceeds 300 billion yuan.

Smart door lock products are mainly based on fingerprint recognition and face recognition. Many safes also use biometric locks.

Building intercom market, mainly fingerprint recognition

In recent years, the development of smart communities has put forward higher requirements for the building intercom industry, and low-grade intercom products cannot meet the needs of smart community construction. It needs a more intelligent building intercom system, which brings market opportunities to the combination of biometric technology and building intercom. At present, many building intercom companies have aggressively entered the field of biometric and are committed to development of building intercom products combined with biometric technology.

Security Industry

Biometric is a popular technology in the security industry, and its popularity in the industry continues to increase. Especially in the field of intelligent monitoring

At present, the application market represented by face recognition and human behavior recognition is growing. Many security companies have invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the field of biometric, and some companies have achieved a lot of results.

As a focus application in the security industry, biometric recognition technology is far superior to traditional passwords and card swiping methods in terms of technical security and market applications. With the increasing maturity of applications and the continuous improvement of consumer awareness, the application of biometric identification technology will be more extensive in the future. The application of biometric recognition technology in the security business field mainly includes the following categories:

   1. Attendance equipment

  In the application of biometric identification technology, attendance equipment is the first to enter mass production and sales. Among them, fingerprint identification technology-based attendance systems have been successfully promoted due to their high cost performance, convenience and ease of use. With the rapid decline in the cost of face recognition time attendance equipment and the continuous improvement of accuracy, "face-swiping" commuting has been accepted by more and more users.

   2. Physical access control products

Access control application is one of the most basic application fields of biometric identification technology. The earliest commercial application examples of biometric identification technology are almost all physical access control products like optical turnstile gates, tripod turnstile, speed lane turnstile gate. Compared to the traditional swipe card authentication method, fingerprint recognition is the most popular biometric recognition technology, and with the rapid decline in the cost of face recognition access control products and the continuous improvement of experience, it has a place in the high-end market. For banks and government agencies and other high-level security places, the more secure finger vein and iris recognition technology has a larger application space. On the whole, the share of access control products in the domestic biometric identification market is second only to attendance products.

In fact, with the development of biometric technology, the application of biometric technology will never be limited to the fields mentioned above.
