Mobile Biometrics Market Challenges

False positives and inaccuracy are analysed to hamper the Mobile Biometrics Market growth

One of the most important factors restraining the market growth of Mobile Biometrics is the false positives and inaccuracy. Biometric authentication methods rely on partial information to authenticate a user’s identity. For instance, a mobile biometric device will scan an entire fingerprint during the enrolment phase and convert it into data. However, future biometric authentication of the fingerprint will only use parts of the prints to verify identity so it’s faster and quicker. For instance, in 2019, a group of hackers who worked as part of the X-Lab security research team at a Chinese company called Tencent, demonstrated their fingerprint hacking methodology at the GeekPwn 2019 conference in Shanghai. They stated, any fingerprint scanner can be beaten using equipment costing $140 and an app that analyses a photograph of your print. This hacking capabilities tend to bring major challenges in the market growth of Mobile Biometrics during the forecast period.
