Technavio ICT analysts highlight the following three market drivers that are contributing to the growth of the global biometric market in the automotive sector:
- Emerging markets driving the automotive sector
- Vulnerability in existing keyless entry system
- Impact of regulatory bodies in the adoption of biometrics in the automotive sector
Emerging markets driving the automotive sector
The economic growth in the BRIC countries has fueled rapid growth rates for the auto industry in the recent years. With intense vendor competition and saturated markets, most global vehicle manufacturers have shifted their focus to these countries to explore new growth avenues and increase their market shares. Many global automakers have partnered with automakers of emerging countries to gain access to their markets. For example, Ford has partnered with Changan Automobile, and BMW sells its cars in China through Brilliance China Automotive.
Vulnerability in existing keyless entry system
The adoption of keyless entry systems drastically reduced vehicle thefts. Although keyless entry system offers more security than mechanical keys, simple hacking devices enable theft of vehicles by interfering with the communication between the vehicle and keyless entry systems.
“Currently, the mechanism of keyless entry systems revolves around communication between the vehicle and the key fob. Such communication is processed and transmitted through radio frequency signals, which can be easily hacked,” says Amrita.
Technavio expects OEMs, Tier I/ II suppliers, and keyless entry system manufacturers to collaborate and invest in solutions that are impervious to hacking. Therefore, these vulnerabilities may result in greater acceptance of biometric security systems for vehicle access.
Impact of regulatory bodies in the adoption of biometrics in the automotive sector
One company alone does not completely make automotive electronic components, i.e., different companies across the value chain are involved in the manufacture of hardware and software components, development tools, product assembly, and testing. Therefore, government regulations have imposed quality requirements across the value chain to improve vehicle security. All players across the automotive security industry are expected to follow ISO 26262 standards. In addition to this, government across the globe have introduced legislation to strengthen vehicle security, which augurs well for the growth of biometric authentication market.
