Facial Recognition Market to Reach USD 18.28 Billion by 2030 Amid Rising Demand for Secure Access and Identity Verification Solutions

Mordor Intelligence has published a new report on the Facial Recognition Market, offering a comprehensive analysis of trends, growth drivers, and future projections.

Facial Recognition Market Overview
The global facial recognition market is estimated to reach USD 8.58 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow to USD 18.28 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 16.33% during the forecast period (2025-2030). This growth reflects the increasing demand for secure, contactless identity verification and the technology's expanding role in public safety, financial services, retail personalization, and digital access control.

Facial recognition has evolved into a mainstream biometric solution, capable of matching faces across databases in real-time and with high accuracy. From airport security and law enforcement surveillance to onboarding processes in banking and telecom, its implementation is becoming widespread. The market is also seeing rising interest from retailers and service providers, who are using facial analytics to better understand consumer behavior and deliver personalized experiences. As facial recognition becomes more accessible across different device types and deployment models, its footprint continues to grow globally across both public and private sectors.

Facial Recognition Market Key Trends
Increased Adoption in Public Safety and Law Enforcement
Government agencies and law enforcement bodies are deploying facial recognition for surveillance, suspect identification, and border security. High-definition cameras and real-time analytics are allowing authorities to monitor large areas efficiently, especially in crowded urban spaces or at international borders.

Digital Identity Verification and e-KYC Integration
Banking, financial services, and telecom industries are integrating facial recognition into onboarding and verification processes. Digital KYC (Know Your Customer) powered by facial recognition is reducing the time and paperwork needed to verify identities for services like SIM activation and account creation.

Mobile and On-device Processing Expanding Market Reach
The use of edge AI chips and mobile devices for facial recognition is reducing latency and enhancing privacy. This enables real-time identity verification even in offline or bandwidth-constrained environments. Devices such as smartphones, body-worn cameras, and kiosks are being embedded with software that can detect and authenticate faces locally.

Retail and Customer Analytics
Retailers are deploying facial recognition to improve in-store experiences, using the technology to assess customer demographics, behavior, and engagement. Combined with emotion AI, businesses are experimenting with targeted advertising and personalized interactions at physical locations.

Hybrid and Multimodal Algorithms Gaining Traction
Vendors are increasingly combining different recognition technologies-like 2D, 3D, thermal, and emotion-based recognition-for higher accuracy. Hybrid solutions are especially useful in low-light conditions or environments where traditional imaging may not perform well.
