Selected / Sample Analysis done in the full Report:

• The value chain begins with the sensors and components manufactured by companies such as UEPK, IDEX ASA, Integrated Biometrics, Precise Biometrics, and so on. The technology and product planning, designing, patent filing are the primary activities done by the device manufacturers, after which the components are procured to proceed for production.
• The chain then moves on to firmware, the algorithm or software integration companies. In this stage, the sensors are integrated with the unique algorithm programs related to the solution the device offers. After that, the chain continues to middle ware and then device manufacturing or assembly. Here, the system integrators and contract manufacturers also play key roles as the manufacturing is either done at the company’s own production facilities, or is outsourced to other contract manufacturers in countries where it is economically more beneficial.
• The next stage is the certification of the equipment to meet the necessary country and regional standards. Once, the products are approved by the respective authorities, these are sent to the global distributors which are then supplied to the local or regional distributors. The distribution channels in the market are of four types: local distributors, regional distributors, online vendors, and off line vendors. The local and regional distributors can be part of the company’s own distribution channels and the partner companies. Furthermore, there are a significant number of online vendors such as Fulcrum Biometrics and Biometric Supply which serve as the point of contact for all biometric device purchases. In recent times, the off line vendors (apart from the dedicated distributors) such as private retailers have been witnessing significant increase in sales owing to the dispersion of biometric devices into residential homes. Finally, the value chain ends with end-users such as government agencies, banks, enterprises, residencies and so on.
