Biometric Vehicle Access Market Report 2026

The biometric vehicle access market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $16.09 billion in 2025 to $18.21 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to vehicle security enhancements, adoption of fingerprint sensors, rise of connected vehicles, premium car feature differentiation, theft prevention focus.

The biometric vehicle access market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $31.01 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to autonomous vehicle growth, AI-driven identity verification, cybersecurity integration, demand for seamless user experience, biometric standardization. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of multi-modal biometrics, rising use of facial recognition in vehicles, adoption of contactless vehicle access, growth of connected car security systems, demand for personalized vehicle access.

The surging occurrences of car theft are expected to propel the growth of the biometric vehicle access market going forward. Car theft is the illegal acquisition of another person's car without that person's consent or legal authorization. Biometric vehicle access provides a highly secure and individualized method of vehicle entry, making it an effective deterrent against vehicle theft. For instance, in July 2024, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), a US-based federal agency, more than one million vehicles were stolen in 2023, marking a 25% rise in thefts compared to recent years - amounting to roughly one vehicle stolen every 31 seconds. Therefore, the surging occurrences of car theft drive the biometric vehicle access market.

Major companies operating in the biometric vehicle access market focus on developing innovative solutions, such as barrier-free biometric verification, to provide reliable services to their customers. Barrier-free biometric verification applies biometric authentication techniques to offer easy and secure access without physical barriers, tokens, or other devices. For instance, in March 2023, IDEMIA, a France-based software development company, launched OneLook Gen2 and MorphoWave TP, which provide accurate biometric matching and remote face and iris capture on a single device. OneLook Gen2 offers a variety of applications, including border control and smart boarding, to make traveling safer and more accessible for passengers. Additionally, the ten-fingerprint MorphoWave TP system allows contactless, on-the-go capture while moving, using four fingers and the thumb at once.

In November 2025, Gentex Corporation, a US-based automotive technology and electronics company, acquired BioConnect for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Gentex aims to enhance its biometric authentication capabilities, integrate advanced identity verification solutions into its product portfolio, strengthen security features in its automotive and smart access offerings, and accelerate innovation in seamless user authentication. BioConnect is a Canada-based company specializing in biometric authentication solutions, including fingerprint, facial recognition, and multi-factor identity verification technologies.
