The global face swiping payment market size is expected to reach USD 29.74 billion by 2032, according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report "Face Swiping Payment Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Type (Payment Equipment, Payment System); By Application (Retail, Restaurant, Travel, Others); By Region; And Segment Forecasts, 2023 - 2032" gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.
COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of digital technologies and e-commerce, including the use of face-swiping payment methods, as more consumers have shifted to online and mobile channels for their transactions. Additionally, the increasing penetration of the internet and smartphones across the globe is expected to create more opportunities for the adoption of face-swiping payment technology. As more people gain access to digital platforms and become comfortable with using technology for payments, the demand for secure and convenient payment options like face-swiping is likely to grow.
As consumers have become more comfortable with the use of biometrics for verification, this has created new growth opportunities for the face-swiping payment industry. Additionally, the pandemic has led to a growing demand for more secure and contactless payment options, which face-swiping payments can provide. The face-swiping payment technology enables users to make payments quickly and securely by using facial recognition technology. The mobile wallet providers such as Alipay have also incorporated this feature to make payments faster and more convenient for users.
Strategic investments from venture capital firms and fintech companies will provide face-swiping payment start-ups with the necessary funding to expand their product offerings and enhance their market presence. This will further fuel the growth of the face-swiping payment industry.
For instance, investment from the SafexPay is expected to help PayByFace expand its product offerings and reach a wider global audience, thereby driving the growth. Recently, Yahoo Japan, in April 2023 developed facial recognition technology for shopping and other payments. This will solve the problem of huge labor shortage in the country. Moreover, in May 2023, Airtel Payments Bank & NPCI in India, introduced Aadhar based payment system at around 500,000 units.
Poor lighting and low resolution can cause technical glitches while using the technology, which can result in failed authorization of the user. Additionally, the high costs involved in implementing this technology can be a barrier for many companies and governments, limiting its widespread adoption. Furthermore, there are concerns about the level of security provided by face-swiping payment solutions, particularly regarding the risk of identity theft and fraud.
