Abstract
The September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the United States and later
bombings in Madrid in 2004 and London in 2005 have made it imperative for
countries worldwide to tighten national security. These security measures
require more-accurate, suitable and efficient ways to identify and monitor
individuals passing through airports, border stations and other points of
entry. The security developments also need to accommodate the increasing
movement of people between countries. Embassies and some other public
buildings and infrastructure require improved security technologies, with
biometric technologies increasingly important. The US Government has
popularised the phrase "homeland security" as it focused its efforts in
boosting security within its national territory from terrorism, improving the
security of borders, airports and ports in particular. Homeland security is
now a key focal point of government budget - you must capture your share of
that market today.
Biometrics have unique physical and behavioural characteristics that can be
measured by automated methods. The best known of these biometric identifiers
are fingerprints, iris and facial characteristics. Importantly, there are
emerging methods that make use of other identifiers such as vein patterns on
hands and voice recognition, amongst other developed and emerging technologies
- but what are they and can they be introduced in a cost-effective scenario?
Furthermore, there is great potential for technology transfer within/between
electronics and other scientific and engineering disciplines, including data
analysis, defence, security and biotechnology. This report delivers clear
opportunities for you and your organisation - take advantage of it immediately.
There is a large, expanding market for biometrics worldwide for homeland
security, visiongain observes. In recent years, many governments have entered
into a wide range of projects to implement enhanced security measures via
biometrics. Visiongain estimates that those developments will make biometrics
for a buoyant and lucrative market throughout the period 2008-2018, especially
as the technologies become established and further refined. This market is not
going away - you should maximise your potential within it. More projects are
expected to be commenced in the near future. This new visiongain report -
Biometrics for Homeland Security 2008-2018 - describes the present trends and
future opportunities in the homeland security application of biometrics. This
information is valuable to both homeland security and defence procurement
operations, as well as to relevant technology providers.
Why You Must Buy This Report:
Only this new visiongain report offers a detailed study of homeland security
biometrics technologies that are poised to be significant over the next 10
years.
Biometrics for Homeland Security 2008-2018 discusses the following aspects of that important market:
- Discussion of the technologies in homeland security biometrics
- Forecasts for homeland security biometrics revenues in the leading US
market and 11 other leading national markets, including total global sales,
from 2008-2018
- Discussion of current and developmental programmes in biometrics for
homeland security
- Analysis of market drivers and restraints, including SWOT analysis
- Full transcripts of interviews with relevant experts in the sector - this
information is not available anywhere else.
Visiongain predicts strong uptake in the homeland security biometrics sector
during the period 2008-2018. However, do you know how that market will develop
in terms of sales and annual growth during the period? You should and this
report will tell you. Visiongain believes that the opportunities for
technology providers are great, as nations increasingly turn to biometrics to
enhance the security of their citizens. In addition to consultation with
experts, this research involved a detailed study of policy documents,
industrial reports and relevant news.
Importantly, visiongain also applied its in-house analytical techniques to
deliver financial forecasting, SWOT analysis and qualitative projections -
this information is exclusive to visiongain' s report. The result is a
comprehensive market-based study with detailed financial analyses and informed
opinion on the future of the homeland security biometrics market.
