In 2020, Louisville announced that the council had observed a five-to-one return for every dollar cost to the city by investing in advanced analytics and a performance management solution. Thus, the city generates $2.5 million in fees and fines after deploying a number of security software and other data analytics.

The promising rise of the urbanization rate, the growth of cloud adoption across the various end-users, and the demand for service networks due to the growing penetration of smartphones promote the telecom sector, resulting in the growth of the Mobile User Authentication Market. In addition, the accelerating demand for high-speed internet for administering the competition across numerous service providers to deliver superior network coverage, resulting in massive investment in the Telecom sector. Therefore, American Tower announced the acquisition of InSite Wireless for about $3.5 Billion in December 2020 to develop 5G densification projects across the U.S.A and various other network deployments globally. Therefore, the increasing volume of internet data generation and growing users of cellular devices are some of the major factors that require authentication services at numerous levels and are estimated to drive the growth of the mobile user authentication market revenue.

Moreover, the enhancement in IT infrastructure, increasing cyber-attacks, a serious concern for enterprises, and a surge in the expenditure for security and safety for private and secret data have further boosted the demand for mobile devices' user authentication services market. According to IBM, the average price for each lost or stolen record, including sensitive and confidential details, also increased by 4.8 % yearly to USD 148 in 2018. When risk levels rise, additional authentication checkpoints are triggered, such as letting users toggle between a mobile push notification that invokes fingerprint readers on their phone and a one-time passcode.
