Biometric Industry Report

Editor Mark Lockie

Biometrics - the physiological and/or behavioural characteristics that can be
used to verify the identity of an individual - are no longer just being used
in high security locations; they are now in use in major, mainstream government
and commercial applications. Since September 11, the heightened awareness of
security issues is driving forward the adoption of biometrics within numerous
application environments. Coupled with a dramatic decrease in the price of such
systems and the formulation of comprehensive industry standards, the market
looks set for rapid growth over the next 5 years.

The second edition of The Biometric Industry Report - Forecasts
and Analysis to 2006 examines the current use and future growth
of biometrics. It analyses the trends in markets, technologies and industry
structure and profiles the major players. The report provides key market statistics
and forecasts essential for companies to plot their future growth strategies.
