The Global Multi-Factor Authentication Market Size accounted for USD 12.3 Billion in 2021 and is projected to occupy a market size of USD 50.3 Billion by 2030 growing at a CAGR of 17.1% from 2022 to 2030.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) simply means that users must use more than one authentication factor to access a device or account. Multi factor authentication improves security because unauthorized users are unlikely to meet the second authentication needs if one credential is compromised. In this way, a cybercriminal will be unable to access the aimed physical space, device, network, or database. Google admitted in 2017 that hackers steal nearly 250,000 web logins per week. This figure could be even higher now. And each incident has the potential to be extremely dangerous.

Multi Factor Authentication Market Growth Factors

The rising occurrence of data and identity theft is driving the global multi factor authentication market. While usernames and passwords are vulnerable to attacks nowadays, requiring the use of an MFA factor such as a thumbprint or physical hardware key will increase confidence that an organization will be safe from cybercriminals. The upsurge in cyberattacks during the COVID-19 pandemic has created a buzz for multi-factor authentication solutions from a single-user to a multinational business. The F5 Labs survey showed that there was a 220% growth in the number of phishing attacks in the first phase of the lockdown. In 2021, there were 396,012 complaints about fraudulent Government & Defense documents or benefits. According to the FTC, credit card fraud, the most popular form of identity theft from 2017 to 2019, was the second most frequent form of identity fraud in 2021, with 389,845 reported incidents.

Government & Defense documents or monetary fraud was the most common types of identity theft in 2021, as it had been in 2020. This followed FTC consumer warnings and enforcement actions aimed at criminal exploitation of the COVID-19 pandemic's confusion and anxiety.

Frauds are also witnessed to be increased on account of the growing adoption of online systems, smartphones, and mobile platform. A lack of aware users across the world is susceptible to online fraud and tends to lose hundreds of dollars at a time. In addition, the growing BFSI, healthcare, retail & ecommerce, and other industries are increasing the demand for authentication solutions to protect businesses and customers. However, the high cost of technical difficulties in incorporating MFA solutions will stifle market growth. Furthermore, a lack of cybersecurity professionals in emerging markets is expected to be a key impediment to the growth of the MFA market.

Multi-Factor Authentication Market Segmentation

The global multi-factor authentication market is segmented based on authentication type, model type, component, end-use, and geography.

Multi-Factor Authentication Market By Authentication Type

• Password Authentication
• Passwordless Authentication

The authentication type sub-segment is divided into two parts: password authentication and passwordless authentication. The password authentication type generated the most market revenue in 2021. MFA, like passwordless authentication, can use biometric or possessive factors; although, MFA still uses usernames and passwords. However, the trend of password authentication will diminish in the coming years, while the demand for passwordless authentication will increase.

Multi-Factor Authentication Market By Model Type

• Two Factor Authentication
• Three Factor Authentication
• Four Factor Authentication
• Five Factor Authentication

Based on multi-factor authentication industry analysis, the two factor authentication model type will command a sizable market share in 2021. Currently, two factor authentication is popular in the banking, retail and ecommerce, healthcare, and insurance industries. This is due to the simple and quick transaction, as well as the reduced password reset and authentication time. Furthermore, from 2022 to 2030, three factor authentication held the second largest market share.

Multi-Factor Authentication Market By Component

• Solutions
• Hardware
• Services

Hardware is the leading component segment in 2021 and will maintain this position in the coming years. However, solution segment will gain significant impetus in the coming years. Because multi-factor authentication relies heavily on online solutions, this category generates significant revenue. CISCO Duo Security, Idaptive MFA, OKTA Adaptive Multi-Factor Authentication, OneLogin, OneSpan, and RSA SecureID Access are some of the popular MFA solutions provided by key players.

Multi-Factor Authentication Market By End-Use

• BFSI
• Government & Defense
• Healthcare
• Retail & Ecommerce
• Media & Entertainment
• Others

According to our multi-factor authentication market forecast, the BFSI industry will hold a significant market share between 2022 and 2030. The BFSI industry will hold a significant market share between 2022 and 2030, according to our multi-factor authentication market forecast. MFA is a critical tool for the BFSI sector because it protects online transactions from cyberattacks and can save hundreds and thousands of dollars. Furthermore, the sector has seen the highest adoption of MFA solutions, which facilitate businesses to secure transactions while reducing financial fraud and data loss. The healthcare sector, on the other hand, experienced significant growth from 2022 to 2030.
