LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
Technavio’s latest report on biometrics in the education sector in the US states that multi-factor authentication and the availability of single sign on solutions have supported the rapid adoption of biometrics technology in this sector. Analysts have thus predicted a growth rate of close to 30% between 2015 and 2019.
Other growing markets for biometrics include the BRIC and the Middle East. In both regions, the government is one of the major end-users of biometrics, along with the oil and gas industry in Saudi Arabia, especially. Biometrics in the cloud is a major trend in the market, being adopted by traditional and non-traditional industries.

Fingerprint identification is the most commonly used biometric technology in this sector; however, vein recognition and voice recognition are slowly gaining traction,” says Raj Kumar, lead analyst of biometrics research within Technavio’s ICT team.
