They start the lockdown procedures and prevent unauthorized people from entering buildings and rooms.

Access Control Reader Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail as below:

Drivers

• Increasing Cyber And Malware Attacks and Other Frauds

There has been growing demand for connected systems and user security concerns due to rise in fraud and theft especially across the places such as data centers, companies, banks, financial institutions, retail stores, malls, hotels and entertainment studios. The need for wired access control systems for homes that can be accessed remotely is growing as smart home technologies gain popularity. The need to enhance protection while reducing costs is becoming more and more crucial across numerous industry sectors as the complexity and sophistication of frauds, cyberattacks, and government identification requirements expand.  Consequently, the benefits such as improved secured identity management and increased demand for enhanced authentication provided by the access control reader market is anticipated further to boost the demand for the access control reader market.

Additionally, the preference for wireless and IoT-based security systems in various applications, growing demand for the interconnected system and rapid urbanization are also estimated to bolster the market's overall growth. The increasing demand for enhanced authentication along with contactless interfaces is also estimated to accelerate the market’s growth over the forecast period.

Opportunities

• Increasing Advancements and Implementations

The growing advancements and implementations are further estimated to generate lucrative opportunities for the market, which will further expand the access control reader market's growth rate over the forecast period. Many access control systems just demand one kind of authentication, but businesses are increasingly implementing multifactor identification, a security measure that necessitates the user to provide two forms of identification in order to gain access, like entering a PIN and swiping a card. Combining numerous factors is necessary to ensure the security of both physical and digital credentials.

• Security Features Improvement by Government

Additionally, numerous governments and security agencies are compelled to improve safety and security features in their transactions through the deployment of RFID and biometric technologies, which will also offer numerous growth opportunities within the market.

Restraints/Challenges

• Low Awareness

Users' limited awareness about advanced security solutions further negatively impacts the market. This factors is expected to obstruct market growth.

• Risk of Data Breach and Privacy Issues

Since the biometric data is being gathered and processed, it is vulnerable to hackers, primarily since fraud techniques are developing quickly. According to research, deep artificial neural networks can be trained over time to replicate faces or just construct faces in general. Therefore, the security and privacy issues associated with illegal access and data breach are projected to be challenges for the access control reader market over the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact on Access Control Reader Market

The access control reader market was immensely impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19. The market is expected to have major effects due to the suspension of construction projects across China which has the most quantity of construction operations. As a result, there isn't much of a market for access control readers. However, because both traditional physical access control readers and facial recognition readers do not require participants to physically touch a screen or a device, demand for both readers would continue to be reasonably high. Governments have deemed facial recognition technology to be the best investment for limiting coronavirus spread in densely populated areas. The manufacture of access control readers has been hampered by global manpower shortages and a delay in logistics. A number of e-commerce sites have stopped shipping non-essential goods, especially electronics, which negatively impacts the global market.
