E-Passports Market poised to achieve significant growth in the coming years across various segments By Type (Short-Term, Long-Term), By Analysis (Individual Use, Commercial Use)

In recent years, there is a rising need to strengthen the security features of the passport for reducing the increasing threat of identity fraud. E-passports or biometric passports have an electronic chip embedded in the user's passport containing biometric passport of the individual. This security feature is not available in regular passports, which are prone to the alternation of individual information, which may lead to unauthorized entry in any country, leading to a threat to the security of that country. The biometric chip in E-passport bears a unique identification number and a digital signature, which minimizes the risk associated with data duplication and alternation. The data on the biometric chip is authenticated by public key infrastructure, which enhanced security due to the availability of facial, iris, and fingerprint authentication. The global market for E-passport is expected to rise with increasing security threats due to terrorist attacks and uncertain social conditions all over the globe.
