What Are The Core Factors Supporting Growth In Facial Recognition Market?
The anticipated growth in the facial recognition market is strongly linked to the rising significance of the surveillance industry. Factors such as increased instances of cybercrimes, terrorist activities and identity thefts worldwide have led to an escalation in surveillance measures. This has seen both private and public entities employing facial recognition for enhanced security via exact identification for access control. The use of intelligent surveillance systems incorporating facial recognition is on an upward trajectory. For instance, it was reported by Comparitech, an American software company, in January 2024, that Washington, DC has 35,082 surveillance cameras spread over an area of 61.14 square miles, equating to 573.8 cameras per square mile. Atlanta, Georgia is next with a total of 60,864 cameras across 135.74 square miles, resulting in 448.4 cameras per square mile. San Francisco, California hosts 18,200 cameras across 46.9 square miles, which equates to 388.1 cameras per square mile. Philadelphia, Pennsylvania houses 46,957 cameras over 134.28 square miles, translating into 349.7 cameras per square mile. New York City, New York, on the other hand, has 70,882 cameras spread over an area of 300.38 square miles, giving a total of 236 cameras per square mile. Thus, the growing relevance of the surveillance industry is likely to fuel the expansion of the facial recognition market.
