Market Overview
Iris recognition technology uniquely identifies individuals by analysing the intricate, distinctive patterns in the eye's iris. Strong performance in authentication and resistance to forgery make it ideal for high-security environments. Recent integration with artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud platforms has further enhanced accuracy, enabling faster real-time identity verification across a range of applications.

Key Drivers of Growth
• Security-First Mindset: Rising fraud, identity theft, and cybersecurity threats are prompting stronger authentication standards globally. Iris recognition provides a high-assurance method for secure access and verification.

• Government Initiatives: National identity programs, e-passport systems, and digital ID drives are increasing biometric deployments in public sector services.

• Consumer Device Integration: Leading smartphone and wearable manufacturers are incorporating iris authentication as part of secure unlocking and payment ecosystems.

• Contactless Authentication Demand: Post-pandemic preferences for non-touchpoint identification solutions have spurred broader adoption across corporate networks, airports, and healthcare facilities.
