As the market for hand geometry technology is a bit more mature, hand geometry is projected to be one of the slower growing biometric technology through 2008. Because the range of applications in which hand geometry is used is typically limited to access control and time and attendance, it will draw a progressively smaller percentage of biometric revenues. Overall, hand geometry revenues are projected to grow from $43 million in 2003 to $154 million in 2008. Hand geometry revenues are expected to comprise approximately 3.3% of the entire biometric market.
