Facial recognition refers to the method of recognizing someone or confirming their identification by looking at their face. It records patterns based on a person's face characteristics, analyses them, and compares the results. In order to identify and locate human faces in pictures and videos, the face detection method is a necessary first step. The main technologies in facial recognition market are 2D, 3D and facial analytics. 2D face recognition technology utilizes a camera to take a picture of the subject, then stores it for later usage. Facial recognition is used for applications such as emotion recognition, attendance tracking and monitoring, access control, and security and surveillance. Facial recognition is mostly used by retail and e-commerce, media and entertainment, banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), automobile and transportation, telecom and information technology (IT), government, healthcare and other sectors. The facial recognition market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides facial recognition market statistics, including facial recognition industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a facial recognition market share, detailed facial recognition market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the facial recognition industry. This facial recognition market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global facial recognition market size grew from $5.43 billion in 2022 to $6.28 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.5%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The facial recognition market size is expected to grow to $11.35 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 16.0%. The growing importance of the surveillance industry is expected to drive the facial recognition market. The increasing incidences of cyberattacks, terrorist activities, and identity thefts across the globe have increased surveillance. Private and public organizations are using facial recognition to provide high-level security through accurate identification of individuals for access control. The utilization of smart surveillance systems using facial recognition is rising. For instance, in August 2021, the Singapore Minister for Home Affairs announced that it aims to double police cameras installation by 2030, from 90,000 to 200,000 police cameras across the island state. Therefore, increasing the importance of the surveillance industry will lead to growth in the facial recognition market. Strategic partnership is a key trend in the facial recognition market. Companies are partnering with facial recognition companies to expand into a new market and leverage each other resources. For instance, in May 2021, SAFR, a US-based company that provides touchless biometrics solutions, partnered with Convergint Technologies.

Information technology (IT) is the use of computers, storage, networking and other physical devices, infrastructure and processes to create, process, store, secure and exchange all forms of electronic data. The main type of information technology (IT) are IT services, computer hardware, telecom, and software products. Computer hardware is the physical components that a computer system requires to function and encompasses everything within a PC or laptop. The services are used by large, small, and medium enterprises of financial services, retail and wholesale, manufacturing, healthcare and others. The information technology (IT) market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides information technology (IT) market statistics, including information technology (IT) industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with information technology (IT) market share, detailed information technology (IT) market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the information technology (IT) industry. This information technology (IT) market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry. The global information technology market grew from $8179.48 billion in 2022 to $8852.41 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The information technology market is expected to grow to $11995.97 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 7.9%. The demand for cloud computing services is expected to drive the demand for IT services during the forecast period. In the cloud computing model, data is stored on the internet by a cloud computing provider, who manages and operates data storage as a service. Many companies are now choosing applications hosted in the cloud for their day-to-day operations. For example, according to statistics provided by hostingtribunal.com, 60% of computing workloads were running in the public cloud in 2019. Similarly, 94% of enterprise workloads are expected to be processed by cloud data centers in 2021. Companies are also opting for cloud-based data storage, thus boosting the demand for IT services. The outbreak of COVID-19 disease (COVID-19) has acted as a significant restraint on the information technology market in 2020 as supply chains were disrupted due to trade restrictions and employees working for these establishments faced difficulties related to infrastructure and communication owing to lockdowns imposed by governments globally, forcing them to work from home. COVID-19 is an infectious disease with flu-like symptoms including fever, cough, and difficulty in breathing. The virus was first identified in 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei province of the People’s Republic of China and spread globally, including Western Europe, North America, and Asia. Steps by national governments to contain the transmission have resulted in a decline in economic activity, with countries entering a state of 'lock down,' and the outbreak had a negative impact on businesses throughout 2020 and into 2021. However, it is expected that the information technology market will recover from the shock across the forecast period as it is a 'black swan event and not related to ongoing or fundamental weaknesses in the market or the global economy.
