That Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is probably one of the lowest I've ever seen in the biometrics sector. It, however, doesn't come as much as a surprise. The number of government customers is pretty much capped at around 200. Governments were some of the earliest adopters of biometric solutions, so most of the 200 potential customers are already in the market. Prices paid by these customers, generally, should be falling or stable. So, there are a whole host of reasons for this low estimate for growth in the government biometrics sector.
