Passengers can use biometric data, such as facial recognition, for check-in, security screening, and boarding processes, enhancing both security and efficiency. Biometric systems play a significant role in border control and immigration processes. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) use facial recognition technology at border checkpoints to verify travelers' identities. Law enforcement agencies in the U.S. use biometric systems for criminal identification and investigation purposes. Fingerprint analysis has a long history in forensic science, and facial recognition is increasingly being used for suspect identification. Many organizations and institutions in the U.S. use biometric systems for access control to secure areas. Employees may use fingerprints or facial recognition to enter offices, labs, or data centers. Biometric systems are employed in the healthcare sector for patient identification, securing medical records, and ensuring the right patient receives the correct treatment. Biometrics can help prevent identity theft and medical fraud. The widespread use of biometric systems has raised privacy concerns in the U.S. Some individuals and advocacy groups are concerned about the collection and potential misuse of biometric data. The U.S. has a patchwork of state and federal laws and regulations related to biometric data. Some states have enacted specific biometric privacy laws, and there are on-going discussions at the federal level about potential regulations. Biometric systems may be used in educational institutions for attendance tracking, library access, and secure testing environments. Biometric systems can provide accessibility solutions for individuals with disabilities. For example, facial recognition can be used to assist individuals with mobility challenges in accessing devices.

According to the research report "United States Biometric System Market Overview, 2028," published by Bonafide Research, the United States Biometric System market is anticipated to grow at more than 11.35% CAGR from 2023 to 2028. The primary driver for biometric systems in the U.S. is the need for robust security and reliable identity verification. Biometrics offer a higher level of security compared to traditional methods like passwords or PINs, reducing the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data and facilities. Government agencies at the federal, state, and local levels in the U.S. are increasingly using biometric systems for border control, law enforcement, and national security. Initiatives like the Biometric Entry-Exit System and the use of facial recognition technology at airports contribute to market growth. The financial sector in the U.S. relies on biometric systems for identity verification in banking, payment processing, and online transactions. Biometrics enhances the security of financial transactions, reduce fraud, and improve the customer experience. Urbanization trends in the U.S. are driving the need for secure access control systems in urban environments, including residential and commercial buildings. The aging population in the U.S. has led to increased interest in biometric systems for healthcare applications, including patient monitoring and home healthcare. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning algorithms into biometric systems has improved accuracy and recognition capabilities. This makes biometrics more reliable and less prone to false positives and negatives. U.S. cities are increasingly implementing smart city initiatives that include biometric technologies for public safety, traffic management, and efficient city services. The development of wearable biometric devices, such as smart watches with heart rate and biometric sensors, contributes to the growth of biometric technology in the consumer market.

Based on product type the market is divided into Fingerprint Recognition, Face Recognition, Hand Geometry, Voice Recognition, Iris recognition/ Retina Recognition, Signature recognition, Vein Recognition and Others (Keystroke Dynamics, Gait Recognition, and Earlobe Geometry & DNA. Fingerprint recognition technology is one of the oldest and most mature biometric modalities. Over the years, it has proven to be highly reliable and accurate for identity verification. This reliability has made it a preferred choice in various applications. Fingerprint recognition is user-friendly and requires minimal user training. Individuals are familiar with the process of fingerprinting, which adds to its ease of use and widespread acceptance. Fingerprint recognition has already been extensively adopted in the United States across various sectors. It is commonly used in law enforcement for criminal identification, immigration and border control, and civil applications like background checks and employment verification. Government initiatives, such as the use of fingerprint biometrics in the issuance of passports, visas, and driver's licenses, have significantly boosted the adoption of fingerprint recognition technology. In addition based on functionality the market is divided into contact-based, contact-less and hybrid. Contact-based biometric systems, such as fingerprint and palm print recognition, are known for their high level of security and accuracy. They offer reliable authentication, minimizing the risk of false positives and unauthorized access. In healthcare, contact-based biometric systems are employed for patient identification and secure access to electronic health records (EHRs). This helps ensure that only authorized personnel can access sensitive patient data.

Hardware components are the foundation of any biometric system. They include the physical devices necessary for capturing and processing biometric data, such as fingerprint scanners, iris scanners, facial recognition cameras, and palm print sensors. These devices are essential for the functioning of biometric systems. Hardware components are a fundamental part of access control systems in various sectors, including corporate offices, government buildings, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions. Fingerprint and facial recognition readers are commonly used to control access to secure areas. Furthermore based on Authentication type the market is divided into Single-Factor Authentication and Multi-Factor Authentication. Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) combines two or more authentication factors, which could include biometric data (e.g., fingerprints, facial recognition) with something the user knows (e.g., a password) or something the user has (e.g., a smart card or mobile device). This layered approach significantly enhances security by requiring multiple forms of verification for access. The United States has witnessed numerous high-profile data breaches in recent years. To combat these threats, organizations are increasingly adopting MFA to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive data and systems. Biometric authentication methods, such as fingerprint recognition and facial recognition, are integral to MFA systems as they provide a highly secure and convenient means of verifying user identities. In addition based on mobility the market is divided into fixed and portable. Fixed biometric systems are commonly deployed at critical infrastructure sites such as power plants, airports, government buildings, and transportation hubs. These systems provide robust security by ensuring that only authorized personnel can access sensitive areas. Fixed biometric systems can be customized to suit the specific security needs of an organization or facility. This includes configuring access rules, setting authentication thresholds, and integrating with existing security systems.

In terms of end-user the market is divided into Government, Banking and Finance, Defence Services, Consumer Electronics, Healthcare, Commercial Safety and Security, Transport/Visa/Logistics, Automotive and others.
