The escalating incidences of online scams and frauds are projected to boost the expansion of the travelers identity protection services market. Such scams and frauds, conducted over the internet, typically involve deceptive tactics to rob personal information, money, or other assets from individuals or entities. This growth is spurred on by increasing digital activities and the advanced strategies used by cybercriminals.

Top corporations in the traveler identity protection services industry are concentrating on creating cutting-edge solutions such as biometric technology to boost passenger identification and reinforce security. Biometric technology involves using exclusive biological characteristics, like fingerprints, facial identification, or iris scans for effective and safe confirmation of a traveler's identity. For example, in January 2022, Idemia, a company based in France that specializes in cryptography and biometrics technology, introduced ID2Travel in North America, an inventive traveler identity platform. The platform augments the travel experience utilizing identity management and biometric identification to ensure a seamless, safe, and expedited travel process. ID2Travel can be incorporated into different travel systems, including airports and airlines, and leverages Idemia's proprietary biometric capture technologies, recognized by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Passengers can sign up into the system from the comfort of their homes using their mobile devices, by scanning their state ID or passport and clicking a selfie for verification. Once registered, travelers can utilize biometrics to smoothly navigate through an airport, from check-ins to boarding.
