In the year 2015, homeland security contributed the highest revenue share, accounting for around 21% of the overall market revenue.
From a growth perspective, intelligent signage is likely to be the most prominent application of facial recognition, anticipated to witness the highest CAGR of 25.1% during the forecast period.
