Description

This Frost & Sullivan research service titled Strategic Assessment of Key Comparisons among the various Biometric Identification Methods in the Asia Pacific Markets provides an overview of the different types of biometric identification technologies used in Asia. Each application has been found to be advantageous for particular applications; the same has been discussed in this research service.

This analysis is available through our Automatic Identification & Security Growth Partnership Services program.

National ID Projects and E-passport Programs to Increasingly Implement Biometric Identification Methods

Although it is early days yet for biometrics technology in Asia Pacific, governments have shown considerable interest in the technology and have already started implementing it in several projects. National ID projects for citizen identification and the e-passport program, wherein fingerprint and facial biometrics are integrated with the smart card, have tremendous potential.

"National ID projects such as the Mykad of Malaysia already have biometrics implemented on the card," says the analyst of this research. "Future projects including the Indian and Chinese national IDs and the Japanese card are also preparing for the deployment of biometric-enabled national ID cards."

While National ID and e-passport are expected to be the mainstay applications of the biometrics market, fingerprint identification will continue to be the dominant mode of biometric identification in most markets. However, there will be more coverage and wider use of other biometric methods as well - even for individual applications. "This is partly because certain biometric methods such as fingerprint identification are often associated with criminal detection," notes the analyst. "As a result, markets such as Japan and South Korea are averse toward the use of fingerprint biometrics and increasingly adopting non-intrusive methods of user identification in spite of their higher costs."

The expansion and large-scale implementation of a number of biometric projects will compel manufacturers to focus on standardization. Once this technology becomes ubiquitous, users will become more comfortable with the biometrics system.
