Gait Biometrics Market: Growing Potential of Gait Biometrics for Elderly Care
The healthcare sector is a major adopter of gait biometric systems for elderly care, which are mainly implemented to improve patient analysis and track their physical health conditions. Gait systems are used to support patients with orthopedic troubles as well. They can track and analyze a patient's movement and body posture. Moreover, the percentage of the aged population across the world is increasing at a significant pace. This is compelling the healthcare sector to develop new healthcare delivery systems with a focus on the growing requirements of the elderly and geriatric patients. Thus, healthcare providers are using gait biometrics widely in every step, starting from intelligent tracking of biometric information to early diagnosis of diseases. Gait biometrics makes use of physiological or behavioral characteristics of people to authenticate their identities. Thus, the growing elderly population will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

As per Technavio, the growing popularity of contactless biometrics will have a positive impact on the market and contribute to its growth significantly over the forecast period. This research report also analyzes other significant trends and market drivers that will influence market growth over 2020-2024.
Gait Biometrics Market: Growing Popularity Of Contactless Biometrics
The growing popularity of contactless biometrics is expected to be a key gait biometrics market trends. Biometric technologies such as fingerprint scanner require users to place their finger on the sensor, which can be unhygienic. Also, the remnants of the fingerprint remain on the scanner, which can be copied. In many countries, growing concerns over hygiene due to the outbreak of various diseases, such as COVID-19, Ebola, and Swine flu, have made health regulators and officials re-evaluate the spread of these diseases, which includes infection by touching (contaminated) surfaces. Hence, several companies are focusing on contactless biometrics, which includes the retina and iris displays, gait biometrics, and vascular biometric scanners. Contactless biometrics, such as gait biometrics, is faster and efficient compared with contact biometrics such as fingerprint sensors. The use of contactless biometrics in places where hygiene levels need to be maintained, such as hospitals and airports, are the major application segments for contactless biometrics.
"Increased R&D spending by vendors, and the rising adoption of cloud computing will further boost the gait biometrics market growth during the forecast period," says a senior analyst at Technavio.
