Industry Overview

The forecasted period from 2025 to 2030 is expected to witness significant growth in the global multifactor authentication (MFA) market. With a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16.3%, the market is projected to expand from USD 12.2 billion in 2023 to USD 27.3 billion by 2030.

Multifactor Authentication Market

The multifactor authentication method is an advanced security system that entails users providing two or more validation factors in order to access resources like Components, online accounts, and Virtual Private Networks (VPN). The increased number of verification processes will decrease the probability of security breaches like hacking and data theft will accelerate the demand for MFA systems. The MFA system comprises logical, biometric, and physical procedures so as to pass the security system. Multifactor authentication is gaining prominence as it provides a high degree of security and various models of multi-factor authentication are adopted in various industry verticals like BFSI, government, immigration and travel, commercial security, electronics, and healthcare.

The COVID-19 outbreak has increased the demand for multifactor authentication solutions owing to an increase in cyber-based attacks. Moreover, there is increasing prominence of work from home and remote working culture globally, resulting in a sudden increase in cybercriminal activities. As a result, the multi-factor authentication market has grown significantly during the COVID 19 pandemic, as the demand for improved security for critical corporate assets has increased.

Market Segmentation

Insight by Model Type

Based on the model type, the global multifactor authentication market is divided into two-factor authentication, multifactor with three-factor authentication, multifactor with four-factor authentication, and multifactor with five-factor authentication. The two-factor authentication is subdivided into a smart card with pin, a smart card with biometric technology, biometric technology with pin, two-factor biometric technology, and a one-time password with pin. The multifactor with three-factor authentication is sub-divided into a smart card with pin and biometric technology, a smart card with two-factor biometric technology, pin with two-factor biometric technologies, and three-factor biometric technology.  The two-factor authentication dominates the multifactor authentication market as it helps organizations to authenticate the identification of users digitally via parameters such as possession-based factors, knowledge-based factors, and inherence-based factors. The multifactor with five-factor authentication is anticipated to be the fastest-growing segment owing to its application by the government like homeland security services, access to top-secret national data/files, safeguards data, and technology in national research centers. Thus, it is used for a high level of security.

Insight by Component

Based on components, the global multifactor authentication market is divided into solutions, hardware, and services. The service segment contributes to the highest share and is essential to deploy, execute, and maintain MFA solutions and services in an organization. The more the adoption of MFA solutions, the more demand for services will also increase. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased data breaches and privacy compliance regulations. So, the companies are focused on adopting MFA solutions to attain compliance, enhanced data security, and better flexibility in operations.

Insight by Authentication Type

Based on authentication type, the multifactor authentication market is bifurcated into password authentication and passwordless authentication. Password authentication is anticipated to contribute to the largest share in the multifactor authentication market as it provides a reasonable level of security at less cost. Passwordless authentication is expected to grow at a faster pace owing to the emergence of developed technologies like IoT and AI in devices like smartphones and tablets. Moreover, the mounting adoption of fingerprint recognition and face recognition is projected to drive the passwordless multi-factor authentication industry.

Insight by Industry Vertical

Based on industry vertical, the global multifactor authentication market is divided into BFSI, government, travel and immigration, military and defense, commercial security, IT, telecommunication, healthcare, media and entertainment, and other verticals (education, and retail, and eCommerce). The BFSI industry is the most regulated industry as it has to meet many security requirements. Due to the sensitive and private data they handle, the BFSI industry has strict data security requirements. Due to various government obligations such as PSD2 and PCI DSS, financial institutions must meet the conditions and standards related to the protection of customer data. The multifactor authentication solutions helps the BFSI industry to provide robust security, secure identities, and manage regulatory compliance.
