The behavioral biometrics market has seen considerable growth due to a variety of factors.
• In recent years, the market size for behavioral biometrics has seen a significant rise. The growth is expected to go up from $2.4 billion in 2024 to a larger $2.92 billion in 2025, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.9%. The surge in growth during the historic period can be credited to factors such as increased usage of behavioral biometrics in mobile devices, escalating concerns about data breaches and identity theft, a rising demand for uninterrupted authentication, and a growing acceptance of behavioral biometrics in enterprise applications.
The Behavioral Biometrics market is expected to maintain its strong growth trajectory in upcoming years.
• Anticipated to experience a significant surge in the upcoming years, the behavioral biometrics market is predicted to inflate to a whopping $6.99 billion by 2029. This signifies a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24.4%.
The propelling factors behind this projection during the forecast period are the escalating adoption of behavioral biometrics in emerging markets, continuous authentication demand, the surge of behavioral biometrics in newer applications, and increasing governmental mandates for behavioral biometrics. Moreover, during the same period, major trends to watch out for are progress in artificial intelligence and machine learning, continued authentication, multi-modal biometrics, along with IoT security.
The behavioral biometrics market is likely to be spurred by an increase in data breach incidents. Data breaches involve illicit extraction of confidential information through harmful software or security breaches where confidential data can be extracted from a computer system without the system owner's permission. The use of behavioral biometrics serves to deter unauthorized access to information from the company's employee database by evaluating behavioural patterns. For example, the Department of Defence in Australia reported in November 2023 that the Australian Cyber Security Centre saw over 94,000 cybercrime reports during the 2022-2023 fiscal year. This is a 23 percent rise compared to the preceding year, 2021-2022. Consequently, the surge in cybersecurity and data breach incidents is propelling the growth of the behavioral biometrics market.
