Middle East and Africa Facial Recognition Market to Grow at a CAGR of 11.9% to reach US$ 355.62 million from 2021 to 2028

The facial recognition market in Middle East & Africa is expected to grow from US$ 161.97 million in 2021 to US$ 355.62 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 11.9% from 2021 to 2028.

The “fourth industrial revolution,” Industry 4.0, is characterized by rapid and converging advancements in multiple next-generation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI). The newly developed facial recognition systems use advanced artificial intelligence features, IP cameras, machine learning algorithms, and cognitive technology to verify a person from a video source or a digital image. While traditional facial recognition systems have loopholes, advanced AI-based facial recognition systems deliver far superior accuracy. Moreover, many companies are eliminating traditional fingerprinting scanners from their security systems, which is paving the way for the greater adoption of AI-based facial recognition systems. In addition, apart from technology giants, the military sectors are also planning to adopt the AI technology for AI-based battlefield challenges. Thus, AI-powered facial recognition technology is bolstering the market growth. Moreover, increasing government initiatives and investments in promoting AI-based facial recognition technologies are further propelling the facial recognition market growth.
