The State of Biometrics Report makes predictions on the future of biometrics


State of Biometrics Report 2023

Our annual report into the biometrics industry explores the trends, issues and challenges facing the industry.

The Institute’s Future Direction Group has identified four significant topics to watch which the report outlines in more detail.

This year’s State of Biometrics Report addresses important trends that are likely to impact on how we use biometric technology responsibly and maintain citizens’ trust in the benefits they deliver.

The 2023 report covers the following four topics:

    1. Biometrics, cyber security and privacy – The good, the brazen or the breached?
    2. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) – Friend or foe?
    3. Explainability and trustworthiness – The less you know, the more you believe
    4. Maturity of digital identity – A need to cooperate and interoperate
