• The Canada Healthcare Biometrics Market Size is Expected to Grow at a CAGR of Around 21.6% from 2025 to 2035
• The Canada Healthcare Biometrics Market Size is expected to hold a significant share by 2035

According to a research report published by Decisions Advisors, The Canadian Healthcare Biometrics Market Size is Growing at a CAGR of 21.6% from 2025 to 2035. The market is driven by the growing demand for safe patient identification, data security, and fraud prevention. To improve security and expedite processes, biometric technologies like fingerprint, facial, and iris identification are being included in clinics, hospitals, and digital health platforms more frequently.

Market Overview

The process of using physical or behavioral characteristics, such as fingerprints, iris patterns, and facial features, to authenticate patients in medical settings is known as healthcare biometrics. These innovations improve patient safety, lower the possibility of human mistakes, and expedite administrative procedures to improve patient care. Healthcare executives, researchers, and engineers in the medical industry are fascinated by biometric technology, and as a result, these systems are gradually seeking to integrate and find a practical purpose in patient safety.

To lower patient verification blunders that result in medical errors in radiotherapy and surgery departments, scientists created the Biometric Automated Patient and Procedure Identification System (BAPPIS). At the time of enrollment, the verification system added a two-fingerprint patient authentication procedure in addition to other characteristics like a photo and birthdate. Fingerprints were accurately detected 96.9% of the time when electronic health data and patient plans were retrieved and verified, according to a study conducted on 143 patients using the new method, which found no false-positive mistakes.

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada (2020) is revising its fingerprint use recommendations, and law enforcement as a biometric data regulation is still in its early stages.  It is the duty of governments to guarantee that healthcare funds are allocated to hospitals, doctors, pharmaceuticals, and medical care; regrettably, other departments, particularly information technology, receive very small investments. The Federal Privacy Act and provincial privacy legislation uphold the fundamental human right to voluntarily give personal information and to be informed about how that information may be used.

Market Segmentation

The Canadian healthcare biometrics market share is categorized by technology, application, and end user.

• The fingerprint recognition segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.  

The Canadian healthcare biometrics market is segmented by technology into fingerprint recognition, face recognition, voice recognition, vein recognition, iris recognition, hand recognition, and others. Among these, the fingerprint recognition segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The segment growth is driven by it is easier to obtain and more reliable. The demand for biometrics systems in the healthcare industry is rising since DNA recognition makes fingerprint identification systems more secure. It is becoming more popular in the small-scale sector and is utilized extensively throughout the world.  

• The medical record and data center security segment dominated the market in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.   

Based on application, the Canadian healthcare biometrics market is segmented into medical record and data center security, patient identification and tracking, care provider authentication, home/remote patient monitoring, and others. Among these, the medical record and data center security segment dominated the market in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of the segment is driven by the increasing use of electronic health records by healthcare facilities. Every site where data may be used is crucial for data security in the healthcare industry; an endpoint is any device that has the ability to access, process, or store PHI.

• The hospitals segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.  

The Canadian healthcare biometrics market is segmented by end user into hospitals, clinics, clinical laboratories, and healthcare institutions. Among these, the hospitals segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. The segment growth is driven by in need to avoid the massive crowds that frequently visit this setup while following the patients, hospitals make extensive use of cutting-edge technologies. The healthcare biometric system helps to authenticate people's access by allowing only those who are eligible to enter the hospital's main grounds, due to it is very difficult for medical staff to function when there is too much confusion.
